Vietnam ancient town of Hội An

Postcard

Hoi An is an ancient town in Vietnam that used to be a 16th century merchant trading port named Faifo. The town is a special example of a traditional trading port in South-East Asia which has been completely preserved: it is the only town in Viet Nam that has survived intact in this way. It was fortunate to escape the destruction caused by the wars

In 1999, UNESCO formally recognized Hoi An as a World Heritage Site.
