Hoi An, Vietnam

Vietnam - Tailor made Hoi An and old Champa Temples
Hoi An was an important Indo-Chaina trading port for hundred of years until the 19th century when the Thu Bon river silted up, which stopped the trade of high grade silk, mother-of-pearl, lacquer,
porcelain, herbs ...etc. Hoi An is declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. There are many Taylor shops in Hoi An, where you can have next day ready personally tailored dress/suite. (I got a silk shirt). My Son is a vast complex of sacred Cham temples, largest in Vietnam, which is named World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Temples are buld from bricks and stone carvings are in Hindu style. An interesting article about the Chams Kingdom: http://www.cpamedia.com/articles/20010703_01/
Featured: 16th century Japanese Covered Bridge, River, traditional old house, Pagoda, markets, silk fiber collection, Champa People Temple ruins.
