Hoi An City Guide, Vietnam, Hoi An, Vietnam

Hoi An, a UNESCO World heritage Site is a place not to be missed when visiting Vietnam. Located on the coast of the South China Sea, the town is charming in many ways. The old town, decorated with hundreds of lanterns and studded with thousands of tiny silk shops will steal your heart.

Tailors here will make you a garment in no time with hardly any extra fittings needed in between taking the first measurements to presenting your masterpiece all stitched up and ready to wear.

The sunsets here are spectacular. Try catching one on the beach, further away from the crowds and savour the pink sky while swimming in the soothing waters.
