In the Vietnam’s top 20 experience list, Hoi An Ancient Town is in the second place in food tour list and Phong Nha-Ke Bang national park is in third.

Hoi An is a beautiful ancient port where visitors can immerse themselves in history in the warren-like lanes of the Old Town, tour the temples and pagodas and dine like an emperor on a peasant’s budget.
