Hoi An is a small city located in Central Vietnam. It’s known as a peaceful city that seems frozen in time with no airport, no train station, a number of Chinese Assembly Halls; such as like Tan Ky Assembly Hall, Quang Dong Assembly Hall, Fukian Assembly Hall, etc. There are also Buddhist shrines, French colonial houses, art galleries, and old canals.
In addition, this old town offers travelers a great chance to explore an ancient architecture which is hardly found in almost anywhere else in Vietnam. Especially, Hoi An Town keeps you to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, according to Indochina voyages.

If the magical scene is what you’re looking for, you won’t be disappointed.
