Hoi An ancient

The ancient quarter in Hoi An Town will be dedicated exclusively to pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles for five days a week from today, according to a regulation issued by the town People’s Committee.
The ancient quarter of the town in central Quang Nam Province will have no sounds of motorbikes or other vehicles in the week except for Thursdays and Sundays.
In the future, everyday of the week will be for pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles in the ancient quarter, said Le Van Giang, chairman of the town’s People’s Committee.
More than four years ago, Hoi An authorities began to turn the ancient quarter into a walking section for pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles for four days a week. This has become an attractive feature for tourists.
