Hoi An, from the Old Town to My Son
Hoi An and Mỹ Sơn became World Heritage sites on the same day in 1999. Start in the old port town, then follow its golden noodles, its island cakes and the road to a valley of red brick towers.
Five stories around Hoi An: the old trading port and its Japanese Covered Bridge, the legend of the creature beneath the bridge, cao lau noodles, the ramie leaf cakes of Cu Lao Cham, and the Cham towers of My Son Sanctuary.

In the 17th century, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese and Dutch traders lived side by side on this riverbank, and the town survived whole because the river silted up and the big ships went elsewhere.
