Hoi An was a major Asian trading port in the 17th and 18th centuries and its architecture and relaxed lifestyle has changed little over the years. After breakfast, we will take a walking tour around the ancient town centre to visit some of former merchants’ houses, the 400 year–old Japanese Bridge, a Chinese communal hall, and the colorful market.
In the afternoon, we will take a 3–hour cruise on the Thu Bon river with stops at some handicraft communes, including Thanh Ha pottery village, Kim Bong carpenters’ village, and a traditional shipbuilding yard.
Dinner and overnight stay in Hoi An.
