Hoi An
Vietnam's best-preserved ancient trading port is a UNESCO-listed gem of lantern-lit yellow houses, Japanese covered bridges, and tailor shops on every street. Hoi An is simultaneously the most beautiful town in Vietnam and one of Southeast Asia's finest food destinations — white rose dumplings, cao lau noodles, and banh mi from the iconic Phuong bakery are specific to this city alone.
