The Thu Bon River has had a very important role in Hoi An’s history. In the past, Hoi An was a major trading port and a convenient stop for many trading ships since the Thu Bon River flowed into the East China Sea. In fact, the majority of the town’s inhabitants are descendants of merchants who chose to stay in Hoi An. This has contributed greatly to the cultural heritage and development of Hoi An. Nowadays, walking along the riverside, you can see many charming houses and the pedestrian bridge is beautiful. However, the best way to explore the Thu Bon River and have a glimpse of daily life along the river is taking a boat ride. Many of the festivals in Hoi An take place along the river, and it is dotted by hundreds of charming floating lanterns, but even on an ordinary night, the sight of the riverside with the illuminated lanterns, is delightful.
