Town

Check in to a youth hostel in the center of town, or choose one of the more upscale hotels in Times Square.

In English and other European languages, the town was known historically as Faifo.

This word is derived from Vietnamese Hội an phố (the town of Hội an), which was shortened to "Hoi-pho", and then to "Faifo".

Hoi an Ancient Town is recognized as a historic trading port with a mix of indigenous and foreign influences, dating back to the 15th century.

The town reflects a fusion of indigenous and foreign cultures (principally Chinese and Japanese with later European influences) that combined to produce this unique survival.

The original street plan, which developed as the town became a port, remains.

The symbol has been used to represent Amsterdam since 1505 when Amsterdam was still a little fishing town.

As the village grew into a town and then a city, the network of canals running through it was further formed and shaped to help transport and trade - both with the outside world and within the city.
