Welcome to Cẩm Nam, our serene and vibrant village nestled on a peaceful island just across the river from Hội An's Ancient Town.
Here, life flows a little slower, inviting you to breathe deeply and connect with the beauty of our surroundings.
Cẩm Nam Village: A Sanctuary by the River
Cẩm Nam, known for its natural beauty and lush riverside landscape, offers a unique blend of tranquility and local charm.
The village is enveloped by waterways, rice paddies, and pockets of vibrant greenery, creating a scenic retreat for those seeking peaceful, reflective spaces.
The welcoming spirit of Cẩm Nam residents shines through in every interaction. You may meet neighbors sharing fresh produce or see artisans weaving traditional mats by hand.
The simplicity and authenticity of life here make Cẩm Nam a perfect home for artists, creators, and anyone seeking a slower, mindful pace of life.
Cẩm Nam is also known for its delightful dishes that evoke deep nostalgia among those who grew up here—such as the savory hến trộn, stir-fried baby clams, served with crisp rice crackers, and the iconic bánh tráng đập dipped in rich fish sauce. One cannot miss chè bắp, a fragrant, creamy dessert made from Cẩm Nam’s sweet corn, celebrated for its comforting flavor.
Hội An Ancient Town: A Heritage Jewel
Just across the bridge lies Hội An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its stunning architecture, vibrant history, and multicultural influences. This ancient trading port has long been a hub of cultural exchange, and its well-preserved old town reflects Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, and European styles in its historic buildings, temples, and bridges.
In Hội An, narrow streets are lined with golden-hued houses, paper lanterns illuminate the evenings, and the Thu Bồn River becomes a backdrop for traditional wooden boats. The old town is also a culinary paradise, with markets and restaurants offering dishes that capture the local flavors, from bánh mì to cao lầu.
The charm of Hội An lies not only in its beauty but in its creative energy. The town celebrates art and culture with regular festivals, exhibitions, and performances. Wander the streets, explore its galleries, or join a lantern-making workshop to experience Hội An’s dedication to artistry and community.
