Hoi An is located approximately 375km north of Nha Trang. It is not quite a seaside town, though the beach is just a short distance away. Hoi An is a river town and is of particular historical interest. Many colonial buildings remain here and a lot of the old town is designated historic and remains closed to traffic, with some fine examples of Asian housing and landmarks including a Japanese covered bridge and several temples. Once an important trading port, Hoi An is now a sleepy place, probably one of the most laid back of Vietnam’s major towns. When it rains in Hoi An, the houses and shops nearest the river become flooded and the road becomes cut off (at least to pedestrians). One way to experience life in Hoi An is to peacefully cruise around on a bicycle and maybe cycle to the nearby beach. Along the roadside that leads to the beach are lush rice paddies with more shades of green than you could possibly imagine.
