In a recently published article, writer Katie Lockhart of the NzHerald newspaper gave many compliments to the ancient town of Hoi An. At the same time, she suggested very sophisticated experiences for a tourist in the ancient town.

Katie Lockhart writes: "This yellow town is steeped in history, colour and charm. When the sun first hits Hoi An, the ancient town glows like a rice field before harvest.

This historic town in central Vietnam has many features that attract tourists, but the distinctive yellow color of its shophouses is the most obvious.

Located along the Thu Bon River, LED-lit boats cruise up and down the river while candle-lit lanterns float along.

Around the maze-like streets, colorful lanterns hang at almost every corner, tailor shops, souvenir sellers, cafes and restaurants beckon visitors.

And while the old town is well worth exploring , Hoi An also has plenty of other attractions nearby, from rolling rice fields to stunning beaches."

Writer Katie Lockhart does not forget to suggest wonderful experiences for tourists when visiting "the most beautiful town in Vietnam".

It is taking time to embrace the slow pace of life, sipping coffee in the shops in the old town, enjoying the happy atmosphere by the beach, choosing your own souvenirs, enjoying street food and finally spending time walking around Hoi An.

With a life span of 400 years, Hoi An ancient town is considered a place that successfully preserves and promotes heritage values.

Currently, Hoi An ancient town is within a radius of about 2km with about 1,300 carefully preserved ancient relics.

Hoi An attracts a lot of international visitors. Recently, many media outlets around the world have also announced awards and sparkling votes for the ancient town.
