(VOVworld) - An article entitled – Hoi An the intersection to the Far East – appeared recently  in Italy's leading newspaper La Repubblica praising the beauty of the city as a must see travel destination.

According to the author, in Hoi An, acculturated to Vietnam, China, Japan, the Netherlands and India, visitors can get a sense of Vietnam's past and at night the city is alit with thousands of lights that capture the serenity and perhaps, even the magic and illusion of life. The article concluded by suggesting visitors should travel to the UNESCO heritage site and offered travel tips for a one day journey replete with advice on dining, things to do, and places to see from morning to night.
