Nearing the end of our journey, our energy levels had slightly dampened so Hoi An couldn't have come at a better time. Its a beautiful small city situated on the coast of the South China Sea with an exceptional blend of Chinese, Japanese and French style architecture. Its quaintness & historical importance earned Hoi An its right to become UNESCO protected. Because of this you truely do feel as if you've stepped back in time as you walk along the narrow cobbled streets.

Hoi An at night
The heart of Hoi An is the 'Old Town' which nestles against the Thu Bon river & once served as a major trading port. The Old Town is very atmospheric, especially at night when the hundreds of lanterns are lit across town and the restaurants & cafes come into their own.
