Walking tour of Vietnam World Heritage : Hoi An Ancient Town




Here is my walking tour of Hoi An, start with the Japanese bridge. Then proceed to the Cantonese assembly hall.




Take the Chau Thuong Van lane towards the river then turn to Nguyuen Thai Hoc lane where Tan Ky house are located. I visit one of the shop houses where they have similar house structure of Tan Ky house which is free.











Along the lane, there are Folk Culture Museum. Go towards the end of the lane before the central market,



...there located a small temple which is worth the visit.







Then I move to the Tran Phu lane walking back to the central passing by Hokkien assembly hall



.....and also a Chinese assembly hall (blue mansion of Hoi An) which have free entrance and I personally love the Chinese assembly hall where ‘Tin Hau Kung’ temple located as I opt for free entrance. The blue mansion is a good photography place as well.













There are house of Quan Thang and Trade Museum along Tran Phu lane.

Walking back to the center where the ticket counter located between the inter-section of Tran Phu and Le Loi lane, then we walk to the inner third lane namely Phan Chau Trinh lane where the Tran Chapel family house located. I just have a look at their entrance as it is an active living home in Hoi An. Anyway you may purchase a ticket of VND90.000 to visit all this places. Basically the whole Hoi An is an ancient town which I highly opt for those none commercial sites which are more worth a look and treasure.
