The ancient town of Hoi An lies on the Thu Bon river, 30 km south of Da Hang. It was formerly a major trading center in Southeast Asia between the 16th and 17th centuries. Hoi An is famous for its old temples, pagodas, small tile - roofed houses and narrow streets. All the houses we're made of wood and their pillar we're carved with ornamental design.
All visitors to Hoi an are commended a visit to the Assembly Hall of Cantonese Chinese Congregation. This house was built in 1855 and still keeps many precious objects that belonged to the Chinese community of Hoi An. Another attractive address to tourists is Tan Ky house, which was conducted nearly two centuries ago as house of a Vietnamese merchant.
