Experts have appreciated Hoi An's rich cultural tapestry at a seminar held last week.
Participants at the discussions, titled Some Lessons about the Culture of Hoi An, said that Hoi An remains a living example of ancient heritage which brings many benefits to the daily lives of its inhabitants.
While Pagoda Bridge (also known as the Japanese bridge) is a well-known tourist destination, it is also used every day by residents. Additionally, they can retrieve water everyday from the town's famous ancient Cham wells.
Experts have also praised the role of local cultural managers and authorities in preserving this tradition.
Present at the seminar, writer Nguyen Ngoc expressed his belief that town authorities will be able to preserve the site's original cultural traits.
Home to approximately 120,000 inhabitants, Hoi An has been recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
