People in Hoi An are very warm and friendly. Still, there are some notices that you should keep in mind to preserve the beauty of this ancient town.
If you like to visit the heritage area, please buy tickets at the counter of Hoian Guidance Office. With entrance ticket, you are able to visit 5 spots equivalent to 5 boxes out of 12 boxes in the ticket.
– If you are traveling in a group (8 people or more), the office will offer a free tour guide for 2 hours. Remember to keep the ticket during your stay in Hoi An to be able to visit the heritage area whenever you want.
– Your costume and behavior should be serious while visiting the ruins. The staffs will not remind you but they are very upset if you walk, talk and laugh rashly in the ruins area.
– Whenever and wherever you go, be tidy and polite so as not to distort the beauty of a world cultural heritage.
– You should not give the children gifts, even the small ones such as pens, candies because this unintentionally creates bad habits for children.
– The restaurants and shops are always ready to serve you enthusiastically. So, do not believe the agents because you may have to pay them money and still not sure about what you are shopping.
– If you are the first customer of a shop, you should buy something, anything even small to make them have a belief that their business will be successful during the day.
