Activity itinerary

Thanh Ha Pottery Village

30m
Admission ticket included

Start the tour at the rusticated Thanh Ha Village on the peaceful outskirts of Hoi An to learn about its well-preserved 500-year-old tradition of pottery making. Beholding local artisans bring to life unique items with their own hands transports visitors to the golden day of the art in the 16th century when its characteristic terracotta was recognised as a national treasure by the last dynasty of Vietnam.

Hoi An

Next, head to the Old Town, characterised by a scenic maze of waterways and antique bridges among which stands out the majestic 17th-century Temple Bridge, named after the adjacent temple worshipping the patron deity of the city. The most emblematic icon of Hoi An, boasting an enchanting ancient design, offers great backgrounds for iconic souvenir photos and picturesque vistas of the historic townscapes.

Hoi An

Continue to browse through the atmospheric Old Town, colourfully adorned with an abundance of handcrafted lanterns and nostalgic period architecture featuring a wide range of styles left behind by international merchants, contributing to the cultural diversity of the medieval port city.

Old House of Tan Ky

30m
Admission ticket included

Then, stop by the most outstanding example of Hoi An’s multicultural charm: Tan Ky Old House, harmoniously combining Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese architectural styles. The 18th-century residence displaying authentic antique furniture provides visitors with insights into life in the heyday of the trading city and the incredible craftsmanship of the local carpenters who built the whole solid wooden structure without any nails!

Hội Quán Phước Kiến

30m
Admission ticket included

Proceed to visit Phuc Kien Assembly Hall to take a glimpse into the rich heritage of the Chinese merchants. The most representative building of Chinese style in the Old Town manifests all of its cultural and architectural beauty, including intricate mosaics and carvings depicting mythological figures as well as religious rituals passed down through generations of immigrants.

Hoi An Market

The next destination is the vibrant Hoi An Market, the living heritage located at the heart of the Old Town. The colonial architecture reminiscent of the French past, stalls overflowing with fresh produce, colourful displays of souvenir shops, hearty aroma of local cuisine, and bustling sounds make the central market the best place to get immersed in the local’s daily lives.

Hoi An Memories Land

40m
Admission ticket included

Finally, complete the immersive journey through the rich culture and history of Hoi An and Vietnam, from the lost kingdom of Chiem Thanh, the prosperous Nguyen monarchy, the influential French rule, to the powerful medieval trading port of Southeast Asia, at Hoi An Impression Theme Park, which offers lifelike recreation of historic architecture as well as a wealth of local craft workshops and colourful traditional performances popping up every corner!
