It is without doubt one of the most charming towns in the world. It is the only city in Vietnam where the store owners are required by law to hang lanterns outside their shops. At night the soft glow of these lanterns reflected in the Thu Bon River is a beautiful, peaceful sight.Hoi An is an old trading port which operated between the fifteenth and nineteenth century. It is now a UNESCO heritage site. It is also one of the most popular destinations in Vietnam as people enjoy the charm, colour, bustle and life of this beautiful, small town.
