I. Possessing a long prosperous history

Hoi An, founded in the late 16th century, was a trading port that flourished and revived during the process: 16th – 19th century. Hoi An was known as “Faifo” during this time.

This ancient harbor town possessed prime location – seaports located on the “Silk Road on the Sea” and a genial climate. Thus, it used to draw merchants worldwide to exchange and trade especially thrived in the spice trade. Since then, many countries have coexisted and converged in this historic land, resulting in the extraordinarily distinct ancient town still in existence today.

II. Hoi An Ancient Town- where cultural essence collides

1. The quaint beauty of traditional architecture

Hoi An ancient town is a well-preserved world heritage – the ancient port of commerce is relatively intact. The long-distance processes of integration, intervention and cultural transformation create a cultural nuance that is extremely Hoi An. That is very clearly demonstrated by the “Hoi An” architecture – the harmony between endogenous and foreign attributes. It’s impossible to talk about Hoi An without mentioning the mustard-yellow tubular houses. Because of the harsh climate, the house is made of strong and long-lasting materials. The two sides are divided into three compartments of brick walls and wooden frames with a central walkway. Because of their tubular design, Hoi An townhouses have a “modest” but significant depth. Additionally, the constructions in Hoi An ancient town are a harmonious blend of living space and fresh, light-filled nature. As a result, house courtyards are frequently paved with stones or decorated with rockeries, ornamental plants, and so on in order to create an open space.

Thus, thousands of sightseers are really into wandering around to admire the unique “structure”. Or some of them would select their own “nook” by a small window in a randomly old cafe, silently immersed in the tranquil beauty of Hoi An. The sun’s rays beam on the slanted tile roofs sparkling the “yellow” – what a majestic scenery.

2. Rich cuisine, typical of the region

The streets winding along the poetic Hoai River are densely packed with street vendors selling a variety of reputable eats. Hoi An cuisine has left an indelible impression in diners’ hearts with its vibrant taste combined with a sophisticated and meticulous culinary method.

Some aboriginal dishes include:

Hoi An chicken rice
White roses dumpling
Mi Quang
Grilled spring rolls
Tao Pho

Amist them, Cao Lau could be considered the top-notch dish you would not feel like skipping. The locals suppose that: “If you haven’t eaten Cao Lau, you haven’t been to Hoi An”. Thus, it is not an exaggeration to say that: the one-of-a-kind specialty made with love by the Hoi An and tourists from over the world.

III. Aglow Hoi An by night

1. Lanterns – the original spot of Hoi An

Hoi An lanterns are the cultural exchange legacy between multiple countries including Vietnam, Japan, and China, etc whose worth and special shapes have become renowned. The lanterns have witnessed Hoi An’s development and have borne the hallmark of this town. When the sun goes down the mountain, it is also the time when the lanterns shine. Every time the moonlight glides on the Hoai River, the lit lanterns adorn this nostalgic land more colorfully. This makes a brilliant scene and an enduring impression on visitors to remember Hoi An when they see the lanterns later immediately.

2. Night market – a vibrant highlight in the heart of the town

Hoi An Night Market probably recreated the hustle and bustle commercial scene in the 16th century. Every night, Hoi An street night market lights up with vibrant food stalls and eye-catching souvenir shops. That scene became even more bustling because the greetings of the owner made it difficult to refuse. You also don’t have to look far when all Hoi An specialties converge in that small night market. Let’s try visiting Hoi An ancient town once to experience the night market here. You will be surprised!

Hence, Hoi An is often the first name on the bucket lists of people who own wanderlust souls to travel. So where will you rest after a day of discovering Hoi An? It is a pleasure for Wyndham Hoi An Royal Beachfront Resort & Villas to be your companion while exploring Hoi An ancient town.
