June 21 - Exploring Hoi An

We spent today enjoying Hoi An. Hoi An is a small little town on the coast of Vietnam with a very rich history. For centuries it was the main shipping port and hosted a variety of people from a variety of countries including China, Netherlands, and Japan. The entire city has now been preserved as a world heritage site. We enjoyed poking around the different sites, the picture above is from an assembly hall from the 1800's which was reserved for the Cantonese. I was amazed how colorful the art was, and how well it had been maintained. This picture is of their fountain in the courtyard of the hall.

Today we also discovered our favorite restaurant thus far on our trip called the Mango Rooms. It's an Argentinian and Vietnamese fusion restaurant, yum!
