Hoi An was useful for a sidetrip to My Son (Angkor-era ruins with definite similarities). But would agree that Hanoi has more to see and do. There's even now a Nancy Chandler map of it...have gotten to be a real fan of those because they point out markets and places within markets as well as food options that might be of interest to westerners.
