Hội An’s UNESCO-listed Ancient Town preserves a 15th-to-19th-century trading port where Japanese, Chinese, and Vietnamese architectural styles converge. The historic core features timber-frame merchant houses, ornate assembly halls, and the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge. Beyond the central streets, the heritage extends to riverside markets and traditional craft villages like Kim Bong, illustrating the city's evolution from a major maritime hub to a center for cultural preservation.
