Hoi An Ancient Chinese Village






Close to the last stop on the cruise was Da Nang, Vietnamn. This was my favorite stop besides Borneo. In Da Nang is an ancient Chinese village called Hoi An. It is a beautiful little city. I had no idea how much China has influenced Veitnamn, but it was under Chinese dominion until the 12th century. Veitnamese celebrate the New Year with multi-colored lanterns. The Chinese celebrate the New Year with red lanterns. The buildings were a lovely yellowish color. There were many temples to visit and lots of great shopping. I highly recommend going to Hoi An in Da Nang.
