              WHERE ON EARTH



                                    VEN THOUGH IT IS JUST HALF
                                    an hour by road from the modern
                                    city of Da Nang on Vietnam’s eastern
                                    coast, Hoi An moves at a different
                                    pace. Once upon a time the most
                                    important trading hub in Southeast
                 EAsia, the riverside town had become
                  a neglected backwater until UNESCO recognized its
                  historic significance in 1999. Now Hoi An’s narrow
                  lanes, atmospheric buildings and romantic waterfront
                  setting are the basis of a different economy — tourism.
