Shopping

Hoi An packs a treasure trove of exquisite boutiques that sell a wide array of locally-made products, which range from silver jewellery to ornamental paper lanterns, silk pieces, artwork, and more (some even have a workshop open to visitors on site); a large number of local tailor shops offer to-order clothing, bags, and even shoes of excellent quality and at unbeatable prices. Every night a market is set up along Nguyen Hoang Street, where all manner of souvenirs and street foods are on sale. There is also a remarkable number of businesses in Hoi An that work for a good cause, employing and selling wares of disadvantaged or physically impaired artists and creators.
