This half-day excursion is ideal for guests wishing to explore the charming merchant town of Hoi An in detail and to spend time at the beach. Hoi An, initially an important trading port, has remained unchanged for centuries and boasts some of Vietnam's finest architecture, temples and community houses. The real key to discovering Hoi An is to keep your eye on the skyline, where you will see evidence of the Japanese, Indian, Chinese and Portuguese merchants that once inhabited these shores.
Upon arrival in the Old Town of Hoi An, you will set out on foot for a fascinating walking tour. Visit the Museum of Trade Ceramics and the interior of a traditional merchant house built to withstand the floods that plague Hoi An in the rainy season.
Step inside the Phuc Kien Temple, built in honor of Thien Hau, the Goddess of the Sea, and see the nearby Japanese covered bridge.
After a thorough exploration of the town, journey along charming rural roads to a local beach in Da Nang. Enjoy the chance to wander along the shoreline prior to reboarding your coach for the overland journey to the port.
Notes:
The Japanese bridge in Hoi An is currently undergoing renovation and may not be completed and accessible at the time of your tour. Wear comfortable walking shoes.
