Issuing a free guide to Hoi An’s Rue des Arts to celebrate the culture and art of Viet Nam would help visitors immerse themselves in the city’s creative scene. The street regularly hosts performance artists, including the performance of the Cơ Tu ethnic group – a demonstration of tribal culture, traditional dance, costume and music.
