Hoi An Town is an exceptionally well-preserved trading port from the 15th to 19th centuries. It is also known for being the most atmospheric city in Vietnam, if not all of Southeast Asia. The city is full of picturesque historic houses, pagodas and cafes. It is extremely popular to buy handmade clothes. But even if you don’t want to shop, Hoi An provides a relaxing destination in an otherwise hectic country. After all, a day at the beach is only a 20 minute bike ride from the city./
