This half-day excursion is ideal for guests wishing to explore the charming merchant town of Hoi An in more detail and to spend time at the beach. The pretty riverside town of Hoi An has remained unchanged for centuries. Initially an important trading port, Hoi An boasts some of Vietnam’s most historic architecture as well as temples and community houses.
Upon arrival in the Ancient Town of Hoi An, you will set out on foot for a fascinating walking tour of this charming town. You will 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 the nearby Japanese covered bridge. However, the real key to discovering Hoi An is to keep your eye on the skyline where you will see in the architecture evidence of the Japanese, Indians, Chinese and Portuguese merchants that once inhabited these shores.
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 re-boarding your coach for the overland journey to the port.
Notes: Please be advised that the Japanese Bridge in Hoi An is currently undergoing renovation and may not be completed and accessible at the time of your tour.
