Hoian old ancient town in Vietnam

Hoian ancient town

Overview

In 1999, UNESCO formally recognizes Hoi An as a World Heritage Site. There are the things that make up the reputation. Hoi An is home to many temples, pagodas and the ancient homes that bear its very unique mark. The density of such sites is unlike any other in Vietnam. These places carry with them the history of Hoi An itself. The depiction of its formation, its once-prosperous merchant past, its progress and how it manages to become one of today are all well documented, in words and in priceless relics.

The town is not just reminiscent of the past; it truly takes one for a slow enlightening journey to the past. Such journey is simply unthinkable most elsewhere in Vietnam. It is only possible because of the careful and dedicated works that have gone into preserving and presenting its way – efforts that have come as the result of the UNESCO recognition. Enjoying the spotlight and catering to the increasing number of tourists flooding its narrow streets hoping to catch a glimpse of the past, hotels and resorts are now sprouting up all over town.

Foods And Drinks

Hoianians prefer vegetables and seafood (shrimp, crab, fish, clam, squid,etc) to meat. This is true and can be seen in the local dishes of Cao Lau (hard noodle with pork), Pho (noodle with beef), Banh dap (rice paper sandwich), Nuoc mam danh (fish sauce), Mi Quang (noodle with shrimp and/or crab), Tam huu (onion, shrimp, and apiece of pork)…The plenty of dishes is also a uniqueness of Hoi An food and eating.

Going with the Vietnamese dishes are the Chinese origin dishes: Banh bao (dumping),Luc Tau xa (6 things sweet soup), Xi ma (sesame), Luong phanh (brackish water weed soup), Hoanh thanh (wonthon), Khoai nhuc Phuc Kien (Fujjien dumping with grilled pork), Banhbao banh vac (white rose cake), Com Duong Chau (Cantonese fried rice).

The local people of Hoi An make drinks for themselves. They are so familiar to everybody: coconut milk, fresh tea leaf, pea with sugar, soya with sugar, rice wine…
