During the Vietnam War, communists made full use of its vastness, interlaced canals, and inaccessibility by big boats, to build a hiding base. They used basket boats to move around like locals and now, travelers have a similar experience. During the ride, how people catch small crabs by the rob or fish by the net, make accessories with palm leaves, and the “dance” (boat spinning) absolutely can be expected. In 2009, the forest became a part of a Unesco World Biosphere Reserve.

Next to Hoi An Ancient Town, where you’ll discover the Japanese Bridge and an ancient house. Once a vibrant 17th-18th century trading port, Hoi An remains a well-preserved example of a Southeast Asian port city. Overnight in Hoi An.
