World heritage sites of Hoi An endangered due to floods
by Tien Phong
Many ancient houses in the UNESCO-designated World Heritage site in the old town of Hoi An have been submerged in flood waters and are in danger of collapsing.
The 160 ancient houses, which display a unique blend of local and foreign influenced architectural styles due to its status as a major harbor town of the 16th and 17th centuries, are a major tourist attraction of the central region.
The recent floods have strongly affected the central provinces, killing over 50 people and causing extensive damage to property and crops.
