Hoi An, Vietnam is a beautiful central coastal town on the South China Sea. Its well-preserved architecture is reflective of its past glory as a thriving port town with Chinese, French, Vietnamese, and Japanese influences forming an eclectic and enchanting cityscape. In 1999, Hoi An was listed as a World Heritage Site due to its many pagodas, temples, and ancient residences. A tour of temples should include Chuc Thanh Pagoda, the oldest Buddhist temple, and the Quan Cong temple complex, which is dedicated to Chinese General Quan Cong. Hoi An Riverside on the banks of Thu Bon River is where all the action is. Other must-see sights are the Japanese Covered Bridge, Cua Dai Beach, and the Hoi An Museum of History & Culture.
