What to see

Hoi An

Hoi An

Hoi An is more about relaxed wandering and soaking up the atmosphere than sights – it’s plethora of restaurants and cafes are the perfect place to sit, sip a drink and watch the world go by. Once a major port, today the grand old buildings of the past are left undisturbed – no traffic is allowed on the centre’s cobbled streets, which will make your strolls all the more pleasant. Many of the original wooden merchants houses are festooned in lanterns, especially pretty at night; amongst them look out for Chinese temples, assembly halls and tea warehouses. A must visit is the elaborate Japanese covered bridge, first built in 1590, whilst there are also a number of museum, such as Folklore, History & Culture and Trading Ceramics. Hoi An has an excellent market, a great place to see all the fresh produce grown in the area, and is also well known for it’s tailors – choose what you’d like made, get measured up and you’ll have your piece the next day.

Beaches

Beaches

Just a few kilometres from the town you will find the lovely Cua Dai and An Bang beaches, where you can spend the day basking on the sands or paddling in the cooling waters of the East Vietnam Sea. There is also a good choice of resorts if you feel like a few days relaxing on these sandy shores while still being close enough to Hoi An itself to still explore.

Tra Que village

Tra Que village

In the fields surrounding Hoi An farmers grow a plethora of fruit and vegetables to supply the many hotels and restaurants in the town. Browse the lively produce market in town to see the rainbow of fresh produce that is delivered into town every morning. For those who are feeling particularly active, you can head out into the countryside to explore these verdant fields by bike, or alternatively take a trip out to Tra Que village to stroll through the gardens and see the farmers at work.
With the abundance of fresh produce grown around it, it’s no surprise that Hoi An is one of the best places in Vietnam to learn to cook, and eat, traditional dishes. Take a trip to the market to select your fresh ingredients then head to the kitchen to prepare a number of local delicacies and learn about food culture and herb lore as you go.

My Son

My Son

The intimate and atmospheric Cham ruins of My Son are shrouded in a jungle valley about one hour by road from Hoi An. Built between the 4th and 13th centuries, and a victim of bombings during the war, the temples aren’t in great condition but are the prime example of Hindu architecture in Southeast Asia – exploring them with your guide is a delightful way to spend a morning.
