The ebullient and intriguing city of Hoi An has been a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999, honoring the preservation of its heritage as a Southeast Asian trading port dating back to the 15th–19th centuries, its breathtaking blend of indigenous and foreign influences, and icons such as the Japanese Bridge. Its name, translating as ‘peaceful meeting place’, is an appropriate moniker for a city that values and respects the rhythms and divine sublimity of its natural surroundings, much of which are cultivated for rice fields, fish farms, and net fishing.

Renowned as a city of distinctive regional cuisine, Hoi An is known for offering tantalizing cookery classes to tourists, whilst the Thu Bon River has transformed from a key trading waterway to offering visitors exhilarating experiences on kayaks and motorboats. The Hoi An Lantern Full Moon Festival, which takes place on every full moon cycle, is an incredible traditional spectacle, where the city is aglow with colorful tissue lanterns, flickering candles, exquisite flowers and vibrant produce, all exchanged between locals for prosperity and to honor their ancestors. In 2019, Hoi An was listed as one of the key tourist attractions of Vietnam.
