Hoi An is known as a crossroads of cultures as merchants from China, India, Persia, Japan and Europe came to trade spices, silks, jewelry and other goods in the past.
Despite the centuries that have passed, Hoi An has retained much of its ancient features. It is this ancient architecture that attracts tourists and inspired UNESCO to recognize it as a World Heritage Site in 1999, the Indian media wrote.
My Son relic site is another destination in the Central region that tourists should not miss when visiting.
While Hoi An was formerly a commercial center of the Cham people, their religious center was My Son, a holy site located 45 km from Hoi An.
From the 4th to the 13th centuries, they built a series of Hindu-inspired temples, which were later introduced to the royal court by traders from India. Over time, many of their works of art were lost due to natural disasters and historical changes, the article reported.
Hindustan Times also considers Quy Nhon the most attractive destination in Central Vietnam, with its beautiful coastline as a tourist attraction.
The article also suggests that travelers enjoy the fascinating rail journey from Hoi An to Quy Nhon. The travel website concludes that this epic rail adventure connects history with nature throughout the journey.
