In 16th and 17the centuries, Hoi An Old Town was a major trading post to Southeast Asia. The architecture features a unique mixture of East and West style. It is divided into five sections: Fujian district, Guangdong District, Chaozhou District, Hainan District and Kejia District which are named from the Chinese races. Hoi An has been declared as a UNESCO World Heritage site in December 1999 for it preserves and restores most of its ancient architecture.
