Hoi An
,
Vietnam
The City of Gold and Silk
A riverside dreamscape frozen in time, Hoi An is Vietnam's most atmospheric town. Its mustard-yellow alleyways glow under thousands of silk lanterns, creating an atmosphere of pure, nostalgic magic that feels lifted straight from a watercolor painting.
Once a major Southeast Asian trading port in the 16th and 17th centuries, the town is a uniquely well-preserved example of a trading port that blends indigenous and foreign influences. With motorized vehicles banned from the center, the streets are a peaceful haven of bicycles and pedestrians.
