Being listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site has brought it countless annual tourists who come from far and wide to admire the beauty of its streets lit by small coloured lanterns. For several centuries, it was crowned as the most important port in all of Southeast Asia and has become a multicultural place. Although it is a small city, it never ceases to surprise in every corner where you walk. It is a city that is worth visiting at least once because it becomes a unique and unrepeatable experience.
