Hoi An Ancient Town is an exceptionally well-preserved example of a South-East Asian trading port dating from the 15th to the 19th century and a living museum.
Its buildings and its street plan reflect the influences, both indigenous and foreign, that have combined to produce this unique heritage site.
Even if the port was officially established in 1595, signs of human habitation can be found dating back 2,200 years.
The town’s original street plan and gorgeous architecture have been maintained despite urbanization, with more than 800 preserved ancient buildings to marvel at.
Declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1999.

My Son Sanctuary dates from the 4th to the 13th centuries CE.
The property is located in the mountainous border Duy Xuyen District of Quang Nam Province, in central Viet Nam.
It is situated within an elevated geological basin surrounded by a ring of mountains, which provides the watershed for the sacred Thu Bon river.
The source of the Thu Bon river is here and it flows past the monuments, out of the basin, and through the historic heartland of the Champa Kingdom, draining into the South China Sea at its mouth near the ancient port city of Hoi An.
The location gives the sites its strategic significance as it is also easily defensible.
