December 17, travel website Lonely Planet announced a list of 22 best tourist destinations in Asia. Among them, Hoi An (Quang Nam) ranked 4th on the list.

Travel magazines describe Hoi An as a "magical" city and it is recognized as a World Heritage Site. In recent years, the old town has attracted a large number of tourists but the landscape is still surprisingly well preserved.

The traditional cultural beauty and poetic features of lanterns bring a sense of peace. In addition to walking on the alleys lit by lights, visitors can also experience many interesting things in Hoi An such as enjoying coffee, shopping and watching the beautiful sunset.

In particular, Hoi An is home to very famous tailor shops that attract many international tourists. There are currently more than 300 tailor shops here, and Hoi An is even considered the "tailored fashion capital" of the world.
