Hoi An Ancient Town - The beauty of time

Getting There - Hoi An Ancient Town is an ancient town located downstream of the Thu Bon River, in the coastal plain of Quang Nam province, about 30km south of Da Nang city. Hoi An Ancient Town is encapsulated in Minh An ward with an area of only about 2km2 with a very special terrain in the style of a chessboard, which is characterized by short and narrow streets, winding, horizontal and vertical. We can easily meet each other no matter which way we turn. Attractions - The pagodas built from the mid-17th century to the mid-18th century are one of the attractive destinations in Hoi An ancient town. These are Ba Pagoda, Ong Pagoda, Chuc Thanh Pagoda, Phuoc Lam Pagoda, Van Duc Pagoda, Hai Tang Pagoda. Most of the pagodas in Hoi An were built to worship the fairies and sages who founded the town, the association and Minh Huong commune. Therefore, one often sees a typical architectural style with refractory brick walls, yin and yang tile roofs and the position of the altar in the middle. All these elements are most clearly shown in the pagoda. He is also known as Quan Cong Temple, the temple is located at the corner of Tran Phu Street intersecting Nguyen Hue Street, which is considered a relic with typical architectural style of the Minh Huong people in Hoi An. But what makes people most impressive is the Covered Bridge, famous for its fancy architecture that forms a symbol of Hoi An temples. Covered Bridge is also known as a Japanese temple, built in the Japanese style, but after many restorations, people find it increasingly imbued with Vietnamese-Chinese culture.
