Arrival in Da Nang - Hoi An

Da Nang - Upon arrival at Da Nang airport, you will be picked up and transferred to the historic town of Hoi An, where you will check into your hotel. Enjoy free time to explore the enchanting Hoi An Ancient Town.

Hoi An - Once a prominent Southeast Asian trading hub during the 16th and 17th centuries, Hoi An is essentially a living museum showcasing its old-town architecture. Noteworthy heritage sites include Chinese temples, a Japanese-designed bridge, pagodas, wooden shop-houses, French-colonial buildings, and ancient canals. Although large-scale trading has since moved on, Hoi An has successfully preserved and restored its charming heritage, earning the designation of a UNESCO World Heritage site in December 1999.

Hoi An - My Son Temple - Hoi An (SIC Tour)

My Son Sanctuary - From the 4th to the 13th centuries, a unique culture with spiritual roots in Indian Hinduism flourished along the coast of present-day Vietnam. This is vividly illustrated by the remains of a series of impressive tower-temples situated in a dramatic location that served as the religious and political capital of the Champa Kingdom for much of its history.

Hoi An was Vietnam’s most active trading center over many centuries and has been largely preserved. The architecture of the city reflects the influence of Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, French, and British traders. Hoi An is also the town where French Missionary Alexandre De Rhodes introduced Catholicism to Vietnam as well as the Romanised script that has become the standard Vietnamese script. Hoi An is also an excellent base with which to explore the surrounding areas, and this trip will provide you the opportunity to join a local eco fishing tour on the Thu Bon river, and the chance to explore My Son, the former holy land of the Cham civilization that occupied central Vietnam between the 2nd and 15th centuries.
