Hoi An

Hoi An is a gorgeous ancient town on the Thu Bon River.  It is recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO because it is a such a well preserved example of a South East Asian trading port from the 15th to 19th century.  What a pretty place.

We stayed in a very nice hotel on the river, the Vinh Hung Emerald Resort.
