Hoi-An: Things To See & Do
|
Quan Kong Temple
Built in the early
1600s to honor a Quan Kong, famous general, this temple is
popular even today with merchants coming to the city for
business, and is noted for, among other things, the massive
wooden statues flanking the main altar.

|
|
Central Market
Sprawled along the
riverbank near the docks is this unmissable market, where you
can get everything from powders to suits made in a day, for
ridiculously cheap prices. Go early in the morning (before 7am),
be prepared to bargain and shop around.

Museum of Trade Ceramics
Learn more about the
history of Hoi An at this museum tucked into a traditional
house. Most of the items are trades goods once upon a time, from
13th century pots to 17th century carpets, from as far away as
Thailand and Indonesia.

The
Japanese Covered Bridge (Chua Cau)
Built sometime in
the 1600s by the city's Japanese community, the bridge is a
lovely blend of Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese styles and
is noted for its Monkey and Dog statues, which have had as many
explanations for their presence as there are statues.

Tan Ky Old House
Located at number
101 Nguyen Thai Hoc street and a typical example of a
traditional shop-house, it is remarkably well preserved and a
good place to see how past generations lived and worked, all in
one house.
