Hoi An<\/strong> was a port city in Vietnam<\/strong> with more than 2,000 years of history, where Chinese, Japanese, and European merchants shared trade and space. Muslims, Chinese, and Vietnamese passed through, making it a multicultural city that still reflects this rich mix in its streets and monuments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1999, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognized for both its tangible and intangible heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Old Town of Hoi An<\/strong>, located on the banks of the Thu Bon River, is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating in all of Southeast Asia.
