General information about Hoi An

Briefly about the main thing: the past and present of the resort.

To understand where Hoi An is located, there is no need to search for it on a map for a long time. Despite its modest size, no traveler will miss the opportunity to visit it. Its convenient location, proximity to the Gulf of Tonkin and the South China Sea, attracts a large number of tourists to Hoi An every year.

This exotic area is often visited by Russian tourists who buy package tours or organize their own travel. The city offers an amazing combination of memorable sights, beautiful beaches, and developed infrastructure.

The exact date when Hoi An was founded has not been preserved. It is only known that until the XVII century it was part of the kingdom of Champa. At that time, the city was home to a large number of foreigners and had a major trading port.

Over time, the city lost its importance, and its port was moved to neighboring Da Nang. The city regained its former glory only after it was recognized as a World Heritage Site in 1999.

Chinese houses, Cham temples, public buildings, and ancient tombs have been preserved in virtually pristine condition throughout the city. Today, the population of Hoi An is 80 thousand people. The national currency is the Vietnamese dong (VND).
