• Hoi An Ancient Town

    18. august 2023, Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C

    It's a short distance from Lang Co to Hoi An, only 65km, it takes just more than an hour. We actually selected a small villa on An Bang Beach (5km far from Ancient Hoi An), it's not easy to find an accommodation supplying parking service inside Hoi An Ancient town, and also we had better to select an accommodation near the beach, so we are easy to go swimming and enjoy long and clear sea water beach of An Bang.

    We had late check out from Lang Co Beach Resort, just in case we can not check in early in Hoi An, we should not stay outside with this very very hot weather. Health condition of all family is not good.
    Mammy got fever from the last night, in Lang Co, Daddy started fever when arrive Hoi An and Bi at the last in the first afternoon in Hoi An. While playing with see wave in the late afternoon, Bi started feel cold, fever did not ignore her. Luckily Noah's an exception, mammy very much worries for Noah, he has no reserved power, so if he would get fever, things will be terrible. Luckily, luckily, Noah perfectly escape from this disease, thank God.

    The dinner at Chicken Rice Ba Buoi will be never forgotten. Super crowded, hot, waiting for long time, and food is not delicious.... we paid highly for the reputation, and we know not only us, many other people also come here because of its reputation, because of comments on web.

    We were in hurry since our schedule is quite tight. There is a famous show in Hoi An named "Hoi An memory", we want Noah know more and feel about Hoi An, so we quickly finished the dinner and move to Hoi An memory stage. Noah seems like the show, that's great.

    Bi became more and more tired but she decided to go around in ancients streets with Noah after the show, this is the 1st time Noah comes Hoi An. Mammy loves Bi.

    We had one more night with Hoi An next day. Further talking, 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. Its buildings and its street plan reflect the influences, both indigenous and foreign, that have combined to produce this unique heritage site. Hoi An is also an outstanding material manifestation of the fusion of cultures over time in an international commercial port.

    Hoi An Ancient Town has retained its original form and function as an outstanding example of a well-preserved traditional South East Asian trading port and commercial centre. It remains complete as a homogenous complex of traditional wooden buildings, with the original organically developed street plan, within the town’s original river/seacoast setting.

    These original cultural and historic features demonstrate the town’s outstanding universal value and are present, well-preserved, and evident within the boundary of the inscribed property, even while it continues to be occupied and function as a trading port, as well as a popular tourism destination. As a result of this economic stagnation since the 19th century, it has not suffered from development and there has not been pressure to replace the older wooden buildings with new ones in modern materials. This has ensured that the town has retained its traditional urban tissue and is preserved in a remarkably intact state.

    We don't have much time with Hoi An this time, in our time tighten frame, we try to visit and remember as much as possible.
