Local art performance in the old town of Hoi An
This is one of the performances we saw at the full moon celebration in the old town of Hoi An, Vietnam. With a really shaky Vietnamese girl announcing the different acts, we had a lot of fun in the small 'theater' room.
Hoi An Travel Guide - Vietnam Pleasant Atmosphere
Hoi An Travel Guide - Vietnam Pleasant Atmosphere
Hoi An is a beautiful city in Vietnam, just south of Da Nang. The Old Town of Hoi An is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hoi An, once known as Faifo, with more than 2,000 years history, was the principal port of the Cham Kingdom, which controlled the strategic spice trade with Indonesia from the 7th to the 10th century and was a major international port in the 16th and 17th centuries - and the foreign influences are discernible to this day.
The culture & heritage is mostly from the Cham people whose kingdom originally stretched from Hue South to Phan Thiet (South of Nha Trang) - the Champa's most likely originally from Java. The original Cham political capital was Tra Kieu, the commercial capital was Hoi An and the spiritual capital was My Son (Hindu). The Cham people were Hindu, and by the 10th century the influence of Arab traders to Hoi An resulted in some converting to become Muslims.
The culture & heritage that UNESCO World Heritage Site status for Hoi An Ancient Town was trying to preserve has long since gone. Since 1999, when UNESCO WHS status was awarded, there has been a massive increase in tourism - with the result that most houses have been sold by the community to speculators and shop owners to be used for commercial purposes. The former community, and with it their culture and heritage, has gone and in their place are endless indistinguishable shops, restaurants, art galleries, etc. There are literally hundreds of tailor shops in Hoi An.
UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status also applies for Hoi An Ancient Town, but in reality this status, like many other UNESCO statuses, is not being cherished by site management. The main thoroughfare in the Old Town is Tran Phu. Just south of the Old Town, across the Thu Bon River, are the islands of An Hoi to the west, reachable via Hai Ba Trung, and Cam Nam to the east, reachable via Hoang Dieu. Hoi An is known for clothing and shoes, with more than 600 shops catering to a very limited pool of tourists. Walk some of the streets outside the old town and you will see open-fronted workshops operating all hours where the clothes are made.
The centre of Hoi An is very small and pedestrianised, so you will be walking around most of the time. Motorbikes are only banned from the centre of town during certain times of day, so keep an eye out for them; even in the most narrow alleys. Evenings are especially busy with motorbikes two, or even three abreast competing with pedestrians for even the smallest space on the street.
To enter most of the main attractions in the Old Town (i.e. the handful of buildings that aren't shops) you require a ticket (120,000 dong), which is sold at various kiosks. You certainly do not (usually) require a ticket just to walk the streets. But it can seem that way since the main entrance to the Old Town is the Japanese covered bridge, which being one of the attractions /does/ require the ticket. But there's nothing to stop you using the nearby footway on the waterfront instead.
Hotels in Hoi An are fiercely competitive, which means plenty of choice and generally high standards. Budget options are slightly pricier than many other parts of Vietnam, with $6 being about the cheapest. Around the centre, 300,000 VND is usually the lowest asking price (March 2013). Heading further out of town, more typical prices can be found. Many hotels are clustered around Hai Ba Trung St and Ba Trieu St, just north of the Old Town and within easy walking distance, and also along Cua Dai Street, off to the east and a bit of a hike away.
Most of Hoi An's high-end hotels are located along the unbroken beach stretching from Danang to Hoi An. Closest is Cua Dai Beach 5 km away. It is more likely to find a good bargain in the evening, when budget hotels try to fill their rooms for the night.

Japanese Covered Bridge
An Bang Beach
Hoi An Market

Phung Hung House
Old House of Tan Ky

Plants, Pets, Art, and Wooden Furniture on Hoàng Hoa Thám Street - VIETNAM WALK
Plants, flowers, shrubbery, fish, birds, dogs, cats, art, stone carvings, wooden furniture... it's all here on Hoàng Hoa Thám street in Hanoi, Vietnam!
Hoàng Hoa Thám Street was named after Hoàng Hoa Thám, the leader of the Yên Thế Insurrection, holding out against French control in Northern Vietnam for 25 years. There are quite a few places named after him.
This street is long, and runs through the middle of Hanoi city. But along a certain stretch of the road, close to where I live, is where a ton of hand-carved wooden furniture, fish tanks, birds in bird cages, paintings, stone carvings, polished stones, and many types of plants are being sold.
It's a very interesting part of the city. The trees are tall and create a nice canopy over the street, keeping the temperatures cooler than the rest of the city.
I hope you enjoyed the walking video. It was very straight forward, literally, as I walked straight instead of zig-zagging my way through side alleys. It's one of the few videos, if any, where I've filmed it in this way. But it still gives you a good idea about the sights and sounds of this street.

Trading Places Nguyen Hue
In today's Saigon, apartments are just not a place to live. Beneath their weather-beaten facades is often a unique ecosystem of homes, shops, whimsical cafes, art galleries, hip hangouts and more.
Saigoneer is proud to present Trading Places, a new video series on the city's scores of old apartments. In the face of frequent rumors about the imminent demise of these decades-old Saigon relics, we felt the need to tell their stories before it's too late, starting with District 1's iconic 42 Nguyen Hue.

hoi an ancient town
Hoi An Ancient town is located in Viet Nam’s central Quang Nam Province, on the north bank near the mouth of the Thu Bon River. The inscribed property comprises 30 ha and it has a buffer zone of 280 ha. It is an exceptionally well-preserved example of a small-scale trading port active the 15th to 19th centuries which traded widely, both with the countries of Southeast and East Asia and with the rest of the world. Its decline in the later 19th century ensured that it has retained its traditional urban tissue to a remarkable degree.
The town reflects a fusion of indigenous and foreign cultures (principally Chinese and Japanese with later European influences) that combined to produce this unique survival.
The town comprises a well-preserved complex of 1,107 timber frame buildings, with brick or wooden walls, which include architectural monuments, commercial and domestic vernacular structures, notably an open market and a ferry quay, and religious buildings such as pagodas and family cult houses. The houses are tiled and the wooden components are carved with traditional motifs. They are arranged side-by-side in tight, unbroken rows along narrow pedestrian streets. There is also the fine wooden Japanese bridge, with a pagoda on it, dating from the 18th century. The original street plan, which developed as the town became a port, remains. It comprises a grid of streets with one axis parallel to the river and the other axis of streets and alleys set at right angles to it. Typically, the buildings front the streets for convenient customer access while the backs of the buildings open to the river allowing easy loading and off-loading of goods from boats.
The surviving wooden structures and street plan are original and intact and together present a traditional townscape of the 17th and 18th centuries, the survival of which is unique in the region. The town continues to this day to be occupied and function as a trading port and centre of commerce. The living heritage reflecting the diverse communities of the indigenous inhabitants of the town, as well as foreigners, has also been preserved and continues to be passed on. Hoi An Ancient Town remains an exceptionally well-preserved example of a Far Eastern port.
