A short flight from Ho Chin Minh City and you arrive at the Danang airport. Flights within Vietnam are inexpensive if you book online. The seem to have specials with online booking. There is no airport at Hoi An so you need to fly to Danang. Danang is an International Airport so you can start you trip here instead of Ho Chin Minh City.

Driving from the airport we stop to see the Dragon Bridge and the Cham Museum. The Cham Museum has excellent statues from the ruins of My Son-Holy Land. This is a very small museum and is a great representation of the Hindu influence in Vietnam.

Hoi An is a wonderful quiet town. The old quarter in Hoi An is a UNESCO heritage site and has several traditional building worth investigating. Because this is a heritage site you will need to purchase a ticket to investigate the area. Check out the Japanese Bridge. The covered bridge is not very long but did have an important function of linking the town.

Hoi An has great restaurants,good shopping for specialty items and cooking schools. Take time to relax, learn to cook Vietnamese food and explore the many options available in the restaurants. If you happen to be in Hoi An during a lunar full moon the old town is lite with paper lanterns that makes the whole experience very magical. You can purchase a candle to float down the river. I wish we had planned to spend more time in Hoi An.
My Son is another UNESCO World Heritage Site. My Son became a religious center in the 4th century.
While at the site be sure to take in the traditional dance performances.
The drive up the coast from Hoi An gives you a taste of the country side and great view when you travel over the Hai Pass.
