Places to see in Hoi An

Since you’re travelling to a UNESCO World Heritage Site city, check out some of the grounds that helped give this destination the historical recognition it deserves. Stroll through the Old Town section and marvel at buildings dating back centuries. Chinese merchants from Guangzhou, Hainan, and Chiu Chow influenced the majority of the architecture in this ancient city. Make sure to walk across the 16th-century “Japanese Bridge,” which is known to be the only covered bridge with a Buddhist temple built into one side. If you get hungry, stay in the Old Town and take a cooking class at Thuan Tinh Island. You’ll learn to whip up traditional dishes like banh xeo, bun bo nam bo, and pho bo, and your belly will thank you forever. After your energy is restored, check out one or many of the prominent museums that have sprouted up in the city. The Museum of History and Culture, Hoi An Folklore Museum, and Museum of Trade Ceramics showcase relics dating from Hoi An’s earliest days though the French colonial period. The most convenient way to cruise around the city is by bicycle, which allows you quick and easy access to all the attractions you’re dying to see.

Weather in Hoi An

The weather in Hoi An changes drastically with the seasons. The calmest weather occurs during the months of May through June, when the wind blows in from the south and the seas are tranquil. These favourable conditions make this time of year the busiest season in terms of tourists. During the remainder of the year, the weather switches between intermittent cold and rainy and hot and mild. Day trips to the offshore islands during this period of time are heavily limited because of the rough conditions in the South China Sea.
