Life unfolds in the narrow alleyways of Hội An’s Old Town. On this self-guided walking tour, Vietnam travel writer Joshua Zukas will peel back the layers of the ancient quarter’s multicultural history, spanning over 2,000 years.
Starting at an often-overlooked American Army Blockhouse, you’ll wander down atmospheric back lanes and streets bursting with heritage, offering a different perspective of the busy old town. You’ll learn how this UNESCO World Heritage site was shaped by seven cultures, from the ancient Champa civilization which was influenced by India, to the Polish architect who saved the town from neglect. You’ll hear how the city was shaped by Chinese merchants who built elaborate assembly halls and the French colonists who transformed the skyline.
