Top 13 Most Beautiful Tourist Destinations in Quang Nam

The first must-visit stop is none other than Hoi An Ancient Town - an ancient town recognized by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site in 1999. Hoi An Ancient Town is located on the banks of the Thu Bon River, in the coastal plain of Quang Nam province, about 30km south of Da Nang City.

With its favorable geographical location, during the 17th and 18th centuries, Hoi An was a bustling international trading port, where goods were traded and exchanged by merchant ships from Japan, China, and Western countries. Moreover, it also bore traces of the Champa trading port or was often mentioned along the maritime Silk Road. However, around the 19th century, when waterway transportation here was no longer convenient, the once bustling port of Hoi An declined, making way for Da Nang, which was being developed by the French. During the two world wars and the urbanization process, fortunately, Hoi An was not destroyed and still retains its unique architecture. Today, it has become a highly attractive destination for domestic and international tourists.

Visiting Hoi An Ancient Town, you will stroll around the streets, admire the ancient houses, street vendors, mossy green walls, and enjoy countless delicious dishes. Not only that, but you can also admire the scenery of the Thu Bon River and wander around traditional craft villages. Especially on the 14th lunar day of each month, you will enjoy the scene of lanterns being lit up, along with lantern festival, folk singing... very interesting.
