Best things to do in Hoi An: You can't avoid the charms of old town Hoi An, especially as it’s listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are private dwellings to explore, temples and tombs, each with their own story to tell. Enjoy walking the winding lanes and check out the Chinese-style shops and colourful lanterns. And make sure to visit the Hoi An market, where you’ll get the bustling feel and a diverse range of merchants selling their wares.

When to visit Hoi An: The early part of the new year is the best time to be here. February through to April. It’s the driest time of the year, the humidity is lower, and temperatures are mild. Heavy rain usually comes with typhoons during the autumn months, from October to November.

• Hoi An is literally at sea level, being less than 2m above sea level. Making the region vulnerable to rising ocean levels. Flooding is a real danger, and UNESCO has put Hoi An on its risk due to the climate change list.

• You may well have walked through Hoi An China town, which is the third oldest Chinatown in the world. Hoi An was a trading port for the silk ad leather trade, so as you walk through Chinatown, remember there is a deep-rooted history to this area.

•A lack of cars! Yep, the streets of Hoi An are reserved for you, the pedestrian and the Vietnamese scooters, although even those are banned sometimes. Walk around without the worry of traffic.
