From the 16th to 18th centuries, Hoi An was a thriving international commercial port for Chinese, Dutch, French, Japanese, and Portuguese and Arab traders. These people came to trade primarily for the high grade silk, which is still produced in the area, and ceramics. Today, Hoi An is a quaint riverside town popular among tourists for its eclectic architecture, souvenir and tailor shops, and cafes. Some of the buildings in the narrow streets are as they were over one hundred years ago.
We pick up at your hotel in Danang or in Hoian town and you enjoy a half-day walking tour through the narrow winding streets of the Ancient Quarter visiting Chua Ong Pagoda, Assembly Hall, the 200-year-old Tam Ky house, and Japanese Bridge. After lunch we take a short boat trip to a nearby island to visit a handicraft ceramic village and the boat building yards. Hoi An is now one of four world heritage listed sites in Vietnam.
