Come and join us for a short weekend photosafari to Hoi An, Vietnam. We go on a Wednesday (5th August) and back on a Sunday (9th August)
Hoi An is an ancient city on the East-Central coast of Vietnam. It is in Quang Nam Province and has a population of 120,000 people. In the 15th to 19th century, it was a major South East Asia Trading
port and was part of the Cham Kingdom. One can still feel the ancient foreign (French, Dutch, Japanese and Indian) and local influence in its well-preserved architecture. It is now a World Heritage UNESCO site.
The serious shipping business has long since moved to Da Nang, the heart of the city is still the Old Town. The winding lanes and Chinese-styled shophouses extrudes a particularly atmospheric feel in the evening as the sun goes down. The area devoid of tall buildings is largely preserved to cater for the tourist trade.
