Hoi An Ancient Town ranked 20th this year with 88.92 points. Once being a buzzling trading port on the Thu Bon river, Hoi An by night can seduce anyone coming here, the streets are strung with paper lanterns and the old wooden traders' houses radiate a “old but gold” time. Day time is for bicycle tours of the irrigated countryside nearby, a lazy day on Cua Dai Beach or an excursion to the My Son Sanctuary, a temple-tower site of the Champa Kingdom dating back to the 4th century.
