“Hoi An casts a spell on all who visit with this city. It attracts tourists with ancient streets, colourful shops, the temples with many people praying and the bustling cafes. Surrounding it is a verdant landscape of paddy fields and crowded fields with farmers working in the crops. Running through is a beautiful river that once made Hoi An one of the busiest trading post on the East Sea. Only 3 km away from the central city is the most beautiful beach in all Vietnam, running like a silver strand on the way up to Da Nang city…,” Bridget March said.

Reportedly, Bridget March’s art works named “A Week in Hoi An”  will be exhibited in Ho Chi Minh city from 7-14  September  2013 at Vin Gallery, No. 4 Le Van Mien Street, district 2. After that they will be printed and published in the UK.
