Why Hoi An is a Must-Visit for UK Travellers
Hoi An is widely regarded as Vietnam's most enchanting town. Once a major 15th to 19th-century international maritime spice trading port, the preserved UNESCO Ancient Town is a fairytale maze of mustard-yellow shophouses, Japanese covered bridges, Chinese assembly halls, and thousands of hand-painted silk lanterns that glow magical colours after dark. Motorised vehicles are banned in the historic core, creating a peaceful, pedestrian-friendly paradise where you can bicycle past emerald rice paddies directly to the golden sands of An Bang Beach.
Insider Tips & Secret Spots in Hoi An
- ✓Release a paper lantern with a candle onto the Thu Bon River from a traditional wooden boat at dusk for good luck.
- ✓Get bespoke suits, dresses, or leather shoes tailored in Hoi An; tailors like Yaly Couture or Bebe Tailor can create garments within 48 hours with multiple fittings.
- ✓Take a basket boat (Thuyen Thung) spin through the water coconut groves of Cam Thanh forest.
- ✓Sample Hoi An's unique local specialities: Cao Lau noodles with pork and local greens, and White Rose steamed shrimp dumplings.
