Itinerary

Stop 1

one hour Admission included

The first famous landmark we visit is the Chua Ong Pagoda, a revered historical site that dates back to 1653. Nestled in the heart of Hoi An’s ancient town, this pagoda was built to honor Quan Cong, a Chinese general celebrated for his unwavering loyalty, integrity, and sense of justice. As you approach the pagoda, its bold red façade and intricate wood carvings immediately capture your attention, reflecting the strong Chinese architectural influence. Inside, the air is filled with the scent of incense and the quiet reverence of worshippers paying homage to Quan Cong.
Fukian Assembly Hall

one hour Admission included

Next, take a moment to pop into the Phuc Kien Assembly Hall, one of Hoi An’s most vibrant and historically rich landmarks. Originally built as a meeting place for Chinese immigrants from Fujian Province, this ornate hall is a stunning example of traditional Chinese architecture, adorned with intricate carvings, colorful murals, and elaborate altars. As you wander through its courtyards and ceremonial spaces, you’ll come across the Jinshang Temple, a sacred shrine nestled within the hall.
Old House of Tan Ky

one hour Admission included

From there, it’s just a short and pleasant walk to Tan Ky House, a beautifully preserved 200-year-old ancestral home nestled in the heart of Hoi An’s ancient town. As you stroll through the narrow, lantern-lit streets, the scent of incense and the soft hum of daily life guide you toward this historic gem. Tan Ky House stands as a testament to the architectural harmony between Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese influences, with its intricately carved wooden beams, antique furniture, and centuries-old family heirlooms. Stepping inside feels like entering a time capsule, offering a glimpse into the lifestyle and traditions of a prosperous merchant family from generations past.
Thu Bon River

one hour Admission included

Enjoy a leisurely and scenic boat ride along the Thu Bon River, one of Hoi An’s most iconic experiences. As your boat gently glides over the calm waters, you’ll be surrounded by the charming beauty of the ancient town, with its lantern-lit buildings, lush greenery, and reflections dancing on the surface of the river. The ride offers a peaceful escape from the bustling streets, allowing you to soak in the tranquil atmosphere and observe daily life along the riverbanks—fishermen casting their nets, locals tending to riverside gardens, and children waving from the shore. Whether you choose a traditional wooden boat during the day or a lantern-lit cruise at sunset, the journey along the Thu Bon River promises unforgettable views and a deep connection to the cultural soul of Hoi An.
