WHAT TO EXPECT
A Memorable Walking Tour
The Hoi An Ancient Town has been so beautifully preserved that you will see memorable sights at every turn. The riverside walk and the silk lanterns liven up the streets, while the yellow-colored homes, wooden shops, and tailored boutiques add more charm. As the sun sets, the lanterns illuminate, bathing the region in a golden glow. Perfect time to explore the night markets and the wonderful handicrafts available there.
Prominent Cultural Influences
The Chinese Halls, which were the epicenters of trade, now stand as symbols of Chinese culture. These places served as trade centers, temples, and places for social gatherings. The Japan-inspired bridges and temples represent Japan with its unique architecture and interiors. And yet, all these come together to represent the Vietnamese spirit that is evident in the Hoi An Ancient Town.
Marble Mountains
The Marble Mountains lets you see how these amazing mountains shaped the history of Da Nang. The mountains were places of religious significance with caves, shrines, and Buddhist sanctuaries. Also, check out ocean-view pagodas and the famous Linh Ung Pagoda's 220-foot-tall Lady Buddha statue. At the foot of the mountains is the Non Nuoc Stone Carving Village, where you can witness marble being carved and sculpted.
