Hoi an is a beautiful city and the old town of hoi an is listed in UNESCO world heritage sites. Old town is an exceptionally well-preserved 15th century trading port. It has witness the Chinese Japanese, Spanish, Dutch and French. Its buildings and streets reflects the influence of both indigenous and foreign architecture.

Our hotel was small distance from old town. We went to old town in evening and again in next day morning to explore the old town. Once we entered the old town i found more tourist then locals. I regret not staying longer. There are many historical sites, museum handicraft workshop and many more attraction.
