Hoi An, the Ancient town, known to early Western merchants. Hoi An was one of the major trading centers of Southeast Asia in the 16th century.
Hoi An has a distinctive Chinese atmosphere with low, tiled-roof houses and narrow streets; the original structure of some of these streets is still virtually intact. Many of the houses were constructed of rare timbers and decorated with lacquer panels engraved with Chinese characters and pillars carved with ornamental designs. We enjoy a half-day walking tour through the narrow winding streets of the Ancient Quarter visiting Tan Ky and Phuc Kien houses, Japanese Covered Bridge inside the Hoi An town and also visit Hoi An market.
Have lunch at one of finest restaurant of Hoian before take a short boat ride to a nearby island to visit a handicraft village specializing in ceramics and also the boat building yards.
