If you have been to Hoi An and communicate with people there, you must agree with me that Hoi An people are essentially rich in tradition and culture and soon accessed to the outside world. Somehow, they formed a unique cultural identity and preserved it for generations until now. They are prone to the interior life, quite serene and tranquil.
As for them, Hoi An is like a big family with hospitable hosts, friendly burghers, kind gentle women, and polite children… Together, they constituted a harmonious community in which everybody lives happily for centuries.

The richness and diversity in cultural identity of Hoi An people are also manifested through traditional dishes such cao lau, hoanh thanh, banh to, banh it gai… The dishes are handed down from one generation to another and allure both domestic and foreign tourists. Regardless of time and development of society, Hoi An locals still maintain familiar folk songs, traditional cultural festivals. On the 14th day of every lunar month, the old town of Hoi An switches off its lights and closes to motorized traffic, the old town is transformed by flickering candlelight, multi-colored lanterns and hoards of visitors who have come to see the full moon lantern festival.
