The Hội An Wreck lies 22 miles off the coast of central Vietnam in the South China Sea, at 16.04°N 108.6°E approximately.
Hoi An (Vietnamese: Hội An/會安) is a small city on the coast of the South China Sea in Quang Nam, Vietnam. The population is about 80,000. There was a trading port with the once prosperous East and West cultures, and was designated a World Heritage Site at the 23rd UNESCO Conference held in Marrakech, Morocco from November 29 to December 4, 1999. It is a tourist destination that many tourists visit.
Although the boundaries are getting blurry, Hoi An certainly has a different atmosphere from Da Nang. Hoi An Old Town is reminiscent of a village in China, except for peddlers using cyclos, motorcycles and rice paddies. Hoi An is a town with charm and history. Gradually, as the center of trade shifted from Hoi to Da Nang, Hoi An became a forgotten port town in a solstice (and because of its relatively remote location), deviating from the destruction of many of the wars in Vietnam in the 20th century, and the architecture almost It could remain intact.
As a quiet riverside village, it is now a typical tourist village. Hotels, restaurants, bars, custom clothing stores and souvenir shops are located in the center of the old town. Despite the unrealistic atmosphere, Hoi An's charisma is bare. You can feel the atmosphere of the East and West in the low tile roof house and the old road. Buildings built by the Japanese remain everywhere.
The buildings show a unique blend of local and foreign influences. As I wander around the narrow alleys of Hoi An's old town, my hands constantly reach the camera. Not only old houses, but also people walking by alleys and countless painting shops, souvenir shops, and clothes shops are handed to the camera for the only reason that they exist in the village.
