Hoi An, Vietnam

Hoi An: Built on the banks of the Thu Bon river Ho An used to be a transit maritime port in the 10th century.  Here you will find high quality bamboo curtains and rattan.  Of  special interest is the natural silk which is still for the most part home spun. 

Visitors may have much interest in the structure of old houses made of hard wood, decorated with lacquered boards and panels engraved with Chinese characters and Japanese characters, like the old Chinese Pagodas and the famous Temple Bridge built in 1593 by the Japanese.
