Cam Thanh, located in Hoi An Dong ward, Da Nang, has been named one of the 50 most beautiful villages in the world in 2025 by Forbes. It is the only representative from Vietnam on this prestigious list.

Ranked 20th, Cam Thanh was described by the American magazine as a village "embraced by rivers and vast green coconut forests."

"Exploring Cam Thanh by basket boat, drifting peacefully through the lush Bay Mau coconut forest, or watching local boatmen cast their fishing nets is an unforgettable experience," Forbes highlighted.

On land, visitors can choose to cycle through the village's charming alleys dotted with lotus ponds, shrimp lakes, and grazing buffalo. The village also offers cooking classes that allow international guests to learn how to prepare traditional Vietnamese dishes.

This year’s list saw European villages dominate the top 10, claiming eight spots. In Asia, ten villages made the cut, with Cam Thanh being one of them.

Previously, in 2024, the online travel platform Tripadvisor also recognized the basket boat experience in Cam Thanh as one of the top 25 most captivating boat tours in the world.
