Hoi An
Hoi An Ancient Town is located in Quang Nam Province, Central Vietnam, on the North bank near the mouth of the Thu Bon River, with an area of 30 hectares and a buffer zone of 280 hectares. Hoi An Ancient Town was a small-scale commercial port that operated from the 15th to the 19th centuries, trading extensively with both Southeast and East Asian countries and with the rest of the world. This trading port declined in the late 19th century but retained its traditional urban size to a considerable extent. Hoi An Ancient Town reflects the fusion of local and foreign cultures (mainly Chinese and Japanese with later European influences) to create a unique blend of cultures. .
Hoi An Ancient Town is a preserved complex consisting of 1,107 timber-framed buildings, with brick or wooden walls, architectural monuments, commercial buildings, especially open markets and ferry terminals, and structures. religions such as temples and churches of the major clans in the region. Tiled houses and carved wooden structures with traditional motifs, are arranged side by side in tight, uninterrupted rows along narrow pedestrian streets. There is also an 18th-century wooden Japanese Bridge Pagoda. The original street plan, developed when the town became a port, still exists. It consists of a street network with one axis parallel to the river and the other street and lane axis placed perpendicular to it. Usually, buildings are on the street front for easy access by customers while the back of buildings opens to the river allowing ships to easily load and unload goods.
Remains of wooden structures and intact street plans present a traditional 17th and 18th-century townscape unique to the region. Hoi An Ancient Town continues to be preserved to this day and functions as a trading port and commercial center. Living legacies that reflect the diverse communities of indigenous peoples here have also been preserved and continue to be passed on. Hoi An Ancient Town is still a particularly well-preserved example of a Far Eastern trading port.
