10 World Famous Canals

VOV.VN - The fishing-village-turned-tourist-hotspot of Hoi An is situated on the coast of the East Sea in Vietnam and has been an international port dating back as far as the 16th century, says the Touropia tourism website.

It is sometimes called the ‘Venice of Vietnam’ because of the narrow canals that cut through part of the town— and it’s our choice for a spot on the list of top 10 canal cities in the world.
