Ho An Half Day

After having breakfast at hotel, your guide will take you on a stroll through the ancient town. Its friendly 

inhabitants, narrow streets, old houses, temples and wooden bridge still remain its ancient character.

The best way to discover Hoi An, however, is to simply wander. Little more than a maze of a few 

streets, there are temples, museums and preserved houses to visit; yet with some 850 buildings 

heritage-protected, the best feel for the town comes from the places which are free to all. As with 

everywhere in this country, the ‘real’ Vietnam is to be found in unexpected places, such as a back 

street or turning down an unexpected alley, or talking in broken English to the old lady who sells 

Chinese scrolls. In hidden nooks and crannies are art galleries, cafes, gastronomic gems, ceramics 

for sale, shops filled with lanterns and, of course, the silk for which the town is famed. There are 

woodworkers and carvers, artists at work, craft shops. Plus there are always cold drinks for sale, 

important no matter the time of year. In this part of Vietnam, it is either hot and dry, or hot and wet.

Back to your hotel and spend the rest of the day on your own.
