Hoi An, formerly Faifo, boasts a vibrant history as a thriving trade port in Southeast Asia dating back to the 15th century. As a flourishing hub for the trade of silk, spices, ceramics, and other goods, it drew merchants from the Philippines, China, Japan, and various European nations. The city's prosperity led to a unique blend of cultures that is reflected in its architecture, cuisine, and traditions. As the river's course shifted in the late 18th century, Hoi An's commercial prominence gradually declined.
