World Heritage

This city is located in the center of the country. Its historic district is a mixture of Chinese, Japanese, and French influences and has been declared a World Heritage Site.

One of the most interesting places to see is the 17th-century Japanese Bridge, an icon of Hội An (it's actually depicted on Dong bills). It's a reddish wood and stone covered bridge that's also home to a Vietnamese temple. It was built to link the traditional Japanese and Chinese districts of the city.

The banks of the Thu Bồn River are always bustling and full of shops and restaurants.

There is a very well-kept walkway on the right side. The atmosphere is great at night: there are people out for a walk, getting some fresh air, visiting the markets, and selling colored lanterns. Our visit coincided with the full-moon celebration so the area was especially lively.

A romantic city

During our tour of Vietnam, one of our stops was Hội An. What a surprise! We had only planned to stop there since it's close to one of Vietnam's main silk factories, but we were amazed. It's a very romantic and bohemian city that has charm in spades.

You have to explore the main street; it's full of charming shops, traditional homes, and artists. The city was experiencing some flooding when we visited but it didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves. We hired a man with a boat and he gave us a tour of the town.

If you’re interested in silks, the ones here are beautiful. They even make bespoke dresses overnight. There are also stalls in the market where they'll make custom shoes in only a matter of hours. You choose the style, fabric, and color and then bingo!

Don't miss it!

Hoi an es uno de los pueblos más tranquilos y agradables de Vietnam. Es comúnmente llamado el pueblo de los Sastres ya que por unos pocos dolares puedes hacerte vestidos de fiesta, trajes a medida e incluso el traje de boda en una seda excepcional. Cerca del río, en la ribera del puente japonés con direcciona la mercado está uno de los mejores restaurantes que hemos visitado en Vietnam. Se llama Café des amis y ofrece menú díario. Personalmente el mejor con diferencia es el de carne y con un menú comen de sobra 2 personas ya que son varios platos con bastante cantidad. Una cosa curiosa para ver son los ferris que utilizan los vietnamitas para cruzar el río, son barcazas a motor que en cuestión de 3 minutos son llenadas a mano de motos y gente. Una excursión muy agradable para hacer desde hoy an y por mas o menos 5 dolares por persona es la excursión a las ruinas de My son, antigua civilización cham que vivió en Vietnam hace siglos. Otro lugar cercano para visitar son las montañas de mármol. En este caso lo mejor es alquilarse una moto en Hoi An, nunca por más de 5 dolares diarios, e ir a visitar las montañas. Personalmente me dejaron mucho que desear ya que está superexplotado y el acceso es horrible.

Hoi An is one of the most peaceful and pleasant villages of Vietnam. It is commonly called the people of the Tailors because for a few dollars you can get prom dresses, tailored suits and even wedding dress in a unique silk. Near the river, on the banks of bridge routes the Japanese market is one of the best restaurants we have visited in Vietnam. Called Cafe des Amis offers daily menu. Personally the best by far is the meat and eat a menu with plenty of 2 people since several dishes with enough quantity. A curious thing to see are the ferries that use the Vietnamese to cross the river, are motor barges that within three minutes are filled by hand bikes and people. A very nice trip from Hoi An to make and more or less $ 5 per person is the excursion to the ruins of My Son, ancient Cham civilization that lived in Vietnam for centuries. Another nearby place to visit are the Marble Mountains. In this case it is best to rent a motorbike in Hoi An, never for more than $ 5 a day, and go visit the mountains. Personally I left much to be desired as it is superexplotado and access is horrible.

The most beautiful city in Vietnam

La ciudad más bonita de Vietnam

Excellent

Dicen que Hoi An es la ciudad más bonita de Vietnam, un lugar anclado en el tiempo que ha conseguido conservar el mismo aspecto que tenía siglos atrás, allá cuando era un importante puerto comercial. Las expectativas eran muy altas pero al ser tan turística, nos temíamos que no fuera para tanto e incluso que no nos gustara. Pues no. Hoi An es más bonita y fascinante de lo que podíamos creer y no solo por sus más de 800 edificios históricos perfectamente conservados, sino también por su ambiente relajado; por sus artesanos que se resisten a abandonar sus oficios; por la exquisita gastronomía; o por su energía mística cuando cae la noche. Sí, Hoi An nos enamoró y seguramente lo haga con todo aquel que se decida a visitarla. Fueron dos días recorriendo cada uno de sus rincones, llevándonos como recuerdo decenas de postales y momentos que han quedado grabados en nuestra memoria. Creo que no hay mejor resumen de la ciudad que hacerlo de forma fotográfica.

They say that Hoi An is the most beautiful city in Vietnam, a place anchored in time that has managed to keep the same appearance that it had centuries ago, back when it was an important commercial port. Expectations were very high but being so tourist, we were afraid that it was not so much and even that we did not like it. Well, no. Hoi An is more beautiful and fascinating than we could believe and not only for its more than 800 historic buildings perfectly preserved, but also for its relaxed atmosphere; by its artisans who are reluctant to abandon their trades; for the exquisite cuisine; or for your mystical energy when night falls. Yes, Hoi An fell in love with us and surely will do it with anyone who decides to visit it. Two days went through each of its corners, carrying as a memory dozens of postcards and moments that have been recorded in our memory. I think there is no better summary of the city than doing it in a photographic way.

Has it all

Lo tiene todo

Hoi An nos sorprendió. Aunque las guías que consultamos decían que es un lugar pintoresco, nunca imaginamos lo hermoso que es. Nos disfrutamos enormemente sus calles peatonales llenas de tiendas de antigüedades; paseamos en bicicleta; comimos en restaurantes fabulosos y pasamos un día en una playa fenomenal. Hubiéramos querido quedarnos un par de días más, pero ya teníamos reservaciones en nuestro próximo destino, así que sugerimos que los viajeros consideren unas cuatro noches como mínimo con el fin de disfrutar no solo la ciudad sino sus alrededores (playas y campo). La mayoría de turistas aprovecha una de las industrias más populares en Hoi An, por sus finos detalles y profesionalismo: la confección de ropa (vestidos, trajes, etc.). Los atardeceres son verdaderamente hermosos, ya sea desde la playa o desde el puente de la ciudad. Hay una inmensa variedad de restaurantes y de casas de té, pero también entretenimiento callejero todas las noches (música, teatro, bares, cafés). Es una ciudad tranquila, pero viva a la vez.

Hoi An surprised us. Although we consulted guides decan is a picturesque place, we never imagined how beautiful it is. We greatly enjoyed their shops filled with antiques pedestrian streets; We walked in bicycle; We ate at fabulous restaurants and spent one day on a great beach. Hubiramos wanted to stay a couple of days more, but it tenamos Prximo reservations in our destination, so I suggest travelers consider about four nights minimum in order to enjoy not only the city but its surroundings (beaches and golf). The majority of tourists fail one of the most popular industries in Hoi An, for their fine detail and professionalism: the confeccin clothes (dresses, suits, etc.). The sunsets are truly beautiful, either from the beach or from the bridge of the city. There is a huge variety of restaurants and houses t, but also street entertainment every night (music, theater, bars, cafes). It is a quiet town, but alive at a time.

Classée au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco, la petite ville de Hoi An est l'une de celles que nous avons préférées lors de notre périple vietnamien, et semble donc amplement mériter une petite halte durant votre séjour. Située en plein centre du pays, pas très éloignée de la cité impériale de Hué, la ville fut, au XVIème siècle, l'un des principaux ports d'Asie. La plupart des édifices ont été bien conservés, et la ville possède aujourd'hui un charme certain. Il y règne une atmosphère très particulière, notamment en fin de journée lorsque l'on se promène au bord de la rivière qui s'écoule paisiblement au centre de la ville. En outre, le centre ville est plein de petites échopes toutes plus mignonnes les unes que les autres, vous permettant de découvrir un artisanat vietnamien original et d'excellente qualité. Enfin, Hoi An est une ville mondialement connue pour ses tailleurs de vêtements sur mesure, alors n'hésitez pas à en profiter!

World Heritage of Unesco, the small town of Hoi An is one of the ones we have at our favorite Vietnamese journey, and seems amply deserve a little break during your stay. Located in the heart of the country, not far from the imperial city of Hue, the city was in the sixteenth century, one of the main ports in Asia. Most of the buildings have been well preserved, and the city today has a certain charm. There prevails a very special atmosphere, especially at the end of the day when you walk along the river that flows peacefully in the center of the city. In addition, the city center is full of small stalls all over cute as each other, allowing you to discover an original Vietnamese handicraft and excellent quality. Finally, Hoi An is a city known worldwide for its tailors custom clothing, so please enjoy!

A city as

Una ciudad a medida

Mezcla de influencias japonesas, chinas y europeas, Hoi An vivió sus años de mayor esplendor en el siglo XVI. Muchos chinos y japoneses se instalaron aquí, y cada comunidad tenía sus leyes y gobernador propio. A mediados del siglo XVIII la comunidad japonesa menguó, y por el contrario, la china fue creciendo y prosperando paulatinamente. Los comercios, casas de madera unifamiliares y templos de aquellos días siguen ocupados por los descendientes de aquellos comerciantes. La mayor parte de la zona antigua de la ciudad está salpicada por casas con tejados y exteriores de vivos colores, y pasear por sus callejuelas es un deleite visual y fotográfico. Por otra parte, la gastronomía de Hoi An merece punto y a parte, ya que es reconocida en todo el país por su calidad y variedad, pudiendo poner el broche perfecto a tu día cenando en cualquiera de sus acogedores restaurantes.

Mix of Japanese, Chinese and European influences, Hoi An experienced its years of greatest splendor in the XVI century. Many Chinese and Japanese settled here, and each community had its own laws and governor. A mid-eighteenth century the Japanese community waned, and on the other hand, China was gradually growing and thriving. Shops, wooden houses and temples detached from those days are still occupied by the descendants of those traders. Most of the old part of the city is dotted with houses with roofs and brightly colored exterior, and stroll through its streets is a visual and photographic delight. Moreover, the cuisine of Hoi An and part point deserves as it is recognized throughout the country for its quality and variety, can put the perfect finishing touch to your day by dining in any of its cozy restaurants.

Between river and historic houses

Entre rivière et maisons historiques

Hoi An a été construite au bord de la rivère Thu Bon et garde differents types d'architectures historiques. Les Chinois, Japonais et Français ont habité ici et cela se voit en regardant les habitations aux façades colorées et en jaquier, le bois noir. Ces maisons aujourd'hui sont occupées par des boutiques de souvenir ou cafés, on rentre dans une et sort de l'autre en essayant de faire des affaires car la ville est mondialement connue aussi pour ses tailleurs de vêtements sur mesure à des prix imbattables mais attention aux arnaques! Le pont pagode japonnais est le monument le plus photographié de la ville, le marché aux poissons du matin est à faire.

Hoi An was built on the banks of the River Thu Bon and keep different types of historical architectures. The Chinese, Japanese and French have lived here and it shows by watching houses with colorful facades and jackfruit, black wood. These houses are now occupied by souvenir shops and cafés, we go in and out of one another trying to do business as the city is also internationally known for its tailors bespoke clothing at unbeatable prices but beware of scams! The Japanese bridge pagoda is the most photographed monument in the city, the fish market in the morning to do.
