The port city of Hòi An lies at the mouth of the Sông Thu Bồn into the South China Sea. In the 15th century, Chinese and Japanese established trading settlements here.
The car-free old town is picturesquely beautiful and is a UNESCO cultural heritage site. As soon as it gets dark, the countless lanterns are lit in the streets, giving the city a very special touch.
At night, the streets and bridges are beautifully lit by lanterns. See Hoi An by night
