Peace Out

Hoi An (which means a peaceful place) is a small town north of Danang famous for its wooden houses, family chapels, and silk shops. Hoi An Ancient Town, an UNESCO site, is an exceptionally well-preserved example of a South-East Asian trading port dating from the 15th to the 19th century. Japanese, Chinese, French and Vietnamese influences combine to lend a cultural mix of architecture, food and traditions. We enjoyed a stroll through the old streets, and saw a cultural show of music and dance. Nightlife was abundant in the restaurants along the river as people celebrated the last few days of New Year. We enjoyed a delicious meal of traditional Vietnamese food before returning to our lovely hotel.
