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. However, its commitment to preserving its cultural heritage earned it UNESCO World Heritage Site recognition, safeguarding its cultural legacy.
Hoi An captivates visitors with its well-preserved ancient town, architectural wonders, diverse culture, lively markets, and vibrant culinary scene.
