Steeped in culture and history, Hoi An is a famous UNESCO World Heritage Site. This city is located in central Vietnam and offers visitors a whole host of things to do. In Hoi An are many historic wonders from ancient times, as well as a serene countryside for travellers to enjoy.
Wander Around the Ancient Town
Hoi An is a place where time stands still, and this is evident even in hotels in the area like Anantara Hoi An Resort. The historic core of the town is marked by butter‑yellow shophouses, Chinese‑style assembly halls, and the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge, which transports travellers back to the 15th‑century silk‑and-spice trade era.
Explore the countryside
Take the chance to glimpse into the lives of the locals. One of the best things to do in Hoi An is to explore the surroundings on foot and take in the lifestyle of the locals. Farmers tending fields, buffalo grazing, and villagers weaving mats on Cam Kim Island – witness the very essence of Vietnam.
Ride a Bicycle
Now, keep in mind that this is not your ordinary bike ride. Go on a self-guided tour through paddy fields and cross farm roads to uncover hidden temples and end at An Bang Beach or Cua Dai’s soft sands.
Visit the My Son Ruins
This former Champa Kingdom temple complex, dating from the 7th to 13th centuries, stands in a lush valley among towering trees. Explore the wonders of this attraction as you delve into a bit of history in Hoi An.
