The rankings, part of the magazine's annual World’s Best Awards survey of more than 180,000 readers worldwide, were based on their evaluations across several criteria, including sights/landmarks, culture, food, friendliness, shopping, and overall value.

Hoi An claimed the fifth spot on this year’s list, impressing international travellers with its distinctive blend of local and foreign architectural styles, a charming canal network, and the warming residents.

Travellers love strolling or taking photographs along its mossy, tiled streets, discovering quaint cafés, artisanal boutiques, and a vibrant culinary and cultural scene that comes alive at night, according to Travel + Leisure.

Another Vietnamese destination, Hanoi, stood at the 12th place in the rankings.

Topping the list is Chiang Mai in northern Thailand, followed by Tokyo (Japan), Bangkok (Thailand), and Jaipur (India)./.
