Formerly a 17th century trading port and once the main hub for trading in Southeast Asia, Hoi An has changed little over the years and can easily be explored on foot and is full of intriguing sights - ancient houses, the 17th century Japanese built bridge and all resting along the picturesque Thu Bon River. Today we enjoy a walking tour through the narrow and ancient streets of this charming town. Perhaps more than any other place in Vietnam, Hoi An retains the feel of centuries past. Once known as Faifo, Hoi An was an influential port along the Silk Road. For over 500 years, merchants from China, Japan, France and Portugal settled in the prosperous town resulting in a distinctive blend of culture, cuisine, religions and architecture. In 1999, the town was declared an UNESCO World Heritage Site listed for having the most unique architecture in Southeast Asia. It has been restored and protected by both the UNESCO funding and proud locals ever since
