HOI AN TOWN WAS DESIGNATED A WORLD HERITAGE SITE IN 1999 FOR ITS ASTOUNDING AND IMMACULATELY PRESERVED 16TH AND 17TH CENTURY BUILDINGS---FROM HOUSES TO ASSEMBLY HALLS, COMMUNAL HOUSES, PAGODAS, SHRINES, ANCESTRAL HALLS, BRIDGES, MARKETS, WHARVES AND MUSEUMS. HOI AN OLD TOWN CHARGES JUST US$6 TO ENTER AND SAUNTER AS LONG AS YOU LIKE AMID THE LABYRINTH OF STREETS FILLED WITH SHOPS, CAFES, RESTAURANTS, BOUTIQUE HOTELS AND SOUVENIR/HANDICRAFT STALLS. HOI AN IS NOT AN OPENAIR MUSEUM AS LOCALS WORK, LIVE, DINE, WINE AND PARTY HERE! JUST AS THEY HAVE DONE SINCE THE 16TH CENTURY WHEN IT WAS THE INTERNATIONAL TRADING CENTRE IN VIETNAM. FOREIGN MERCHANT SHIPS CAME IN HUE NUMBERS FOR COMMERCE AND BUSINESS AS JAPANESE, CHINESE, DUTCH, PORTUGUESE AND INDIANS BUILT THEIR OWN QUARTERS, HOUSES AND EMPORIUMS. HOI AN ESCAPED THE RAVAGES OF WAR AND TODAY IT IS A WORLD HERITAGE SITE!
