Not as mysterious as the Hue Imperial City
or natural as Ha Long Bay, Hoi An Ancient Town offers other antique
features of architectural monuments of various forms: living house,
assembly hall, communal house, pagoda, shrine, temple, bridge, market,
etc. These have been preserved rather intact. Therefore, Hoi An Ancient
Town is well known for ancient houses that are more than 300 years old
and the very well preserved Japanese Bridge that was built several
hundred years ago.
Tourists from over the world are really
interested in the monthly event at the Hoi An Ancient Town, which is
called “Light Bright”. At night on the 15th day of each lunar
month, there would be no fluorescent lights, no motorcycles, and no
television through the town. The people will live by the light from
candles, oil lamps, and from paper lanterns.
Hoi
An Ancient Town is also an ideal place for explorers to discover an
outstanding form of living museum of architecture and urban life, and
the astounding cultures of the Cham, Chinese, French, Japanese, and
Vietnamese peoples.
