The ancient town of Hoi An古老的小鎮會安
Looking for a place to relax a few days in between visiting Vietnam's two biggest cities,尋找一個地方放鬆幾天之間訪問越南的兩個最大的城市， Saigon胡志明市 and Hanoi, Hoi An ended up being just the ideal country town retreat I was looking for.和河內，會安是剛剛結束了全國城鎮撤退的理想我一直在尋找。
One of the few Vietnamese cities to have largely escaped the ravages of wars, Hoi an is a remarkably well preserved example of what a Southeast Asian trading port dating from the Fifteenth to the Nineteenth Century looked like.其中的一些越南城市基本上逃脫戰爭的蹂躪，海是一個明顯的例子，什麼保存完好的東南亞貿易港，建於十五世紀到十九世紀的模樣。 While all serious shipping business has long been transferred to Da Nang, the silence that now prevails in the city is not the least of the charms.雖然所有嚴重航運業一直轉移到峴港，現在普遍存在的沉默在城市不是最少的魅力。
Throughout the town, numerous congregation halls (picture below) can be visited.整個城市，許多教會會堂（下圖）可以參觀。 For centuries this is where the large Chinese expats community has been gathering to socialize and hold meetings.幾個世紀以來，這是在大華外籍人士社區已收集到社交和舉行會議。 Each of them is named after the home region of their members, such as Hokien, Cantonese, Fujian etc.他們每家的名字命名其成員地區，如霍基恩，廣東話，福建等
At it's core, the Old Town, whose streets are too narrow for the passage of modern vehicles were a much welcomed change from the rush hour traffic in Ho Chi Minh City..在它的核心，老鎮的街道過於狹窄的通道現代汽車是一個非常值得歡迎的轉由交通繁忙時間在胡志明市..
Most of the buildings that have been restored or maintained close to their original form include assembly halls, private houses, bridges, family chapels, communal houses, temples and pagodas.大多數的建築物，已恢復或接近其保持原來的形式，包括禮堂，私人房屋，橋樑，家庭教堂，公共房屋，寺廟和寶塔。
And wandering through Hoi An's endless rows of ancient low roofed merchants houses covered in fading, pale yellow worn paint and decorated of silk lanterns makes for a very pleasant experience.徬徨通過海安的無盡行古代商人低屋頂蓋房子在褪色，穿淺黃色的塗料和裝飾，絲綢燈籠是個非常愉快的經歷。
While the ancient town is free to visit and wander around If you want to go a bit further and enter inside the various types of historical sites you will need to purchase a 75,000 VND or 5$ ticket.雖然古鎮是免費參觀，四處流浪，如果你想要去一個遠一點，進入裡面的各類歷史遺跡，您需要購買或5 $ 75,000越南盾票。
Hoi An is however definitely a tourist town and just about every business caters to it so expect no shortage of tailors, art boutiques, restaurants, bars, etc. On the upside things are relaxed and touts are much less aggressive than in other town of the tourist circuit.惠安不過肯定是個旅遊城市和幾乎所有的業務，以迎合預期有任何短缺，裁縫，藝術精品店，餐館，酒吧，等事情上檔輕鬆，更積極招攬已比其他城市的旅遊線路。
All in all well worth the visit and if you need a little break from Hoi An there's quite a few sights in the region you can easily visit like a trip to總而言之，非常值得參觀，如果你需要稍微休息一下從惠安那裡的不少景點 in的region您能輕易地like 1 trip to Marble Mountains大理石山 or the或 My Son Sanctuary我的兒子自然保護區 and if you need to cool down from the heat the如果你需要冷靜下來的熱 Cua Dai Beach戴河口灘 is only 4KM away.是只有4公里遠。
