Hoi An





This is an old Chinese trading port, now famous for same day tailoring (lots of silk), handmade paper lanterns, and its architecture.

If you look up Hoi An on Google, you'll find lots of information. Very intersting place. The picture of all the small boats, with the hills in the background, was taken from out front of my hotel.

The Japanese style covered foot bridge is quite famous. Notice the painted eyes on the front of th boats.

The ferry takes passengers, bicycles and motor bikes to the far side of the river. The shore has wooden ramps that allow you to drive your motor bike right on to the roof of the ferry.
