The Hai Nam Assembly Hall was built in 1851 as a memorial to 108 merchants from Hainan, China. They were slain upon being mistaken for pirates. The merchants have since been deified and proclaimed martyrs.

Hoi An
Hội An, formerly known as Fai-Fo or Faifoo, is a city with a population of approximately 120,000 in Vietnam's Quảng Nam Province and noted since 1999 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Old Town Hội An, the city's historic district, is recognized as an exceptionally well-preserved example of a Southeast Asian trading port dating from the 15th to the 19th century, its buildings and street plan reflecting a blend of indigenous and foreign influences. Prominent in the city's old town, is its covered "Japanese Bridge", dating to the 16th-17th century.
Japanese Covered Bridge
The Japanese Covered Bridge is Hoi An’s most famous attraction. Originally constructed in the 16th century as a link between the Japanese and Chinese trading settlements in Hoi An. Above all today, it stands alone as the definitive piece of Japanese architecture in Hoi An. Because the majority of Japanese settlements were destroyed during the Tay Son Rebellion in the 18th century.
The bridge crosses over a stream flowing into the Thu Bon River. Situated on the western edge of Hoi An’s Ancient Town, the curved bridge rests atop stone pillars.
Phap Bao Temple
Phap Bao Temple, also known as Phac Hat Pagoda, is a Buddhist temple located at the crossing of Hai Ba Trung and Phan Chua Trinh Street.
Its main gate emblazoned with fierce bronze guardians lies within a huge courtyard. There is a fountain, multiple statues and shrines, and potted plants aplenty. In addition, the exterior of its main worship hall is striking in appearance. Its double Resting Hill roofs, ornate dragon and tortoise statues, and large lacquered panels depict scenes from the life of Buddha.
Phuc Kien Assembly Hall
Also known as Fujian Assembly Hall, this traditional assembly hall is the largest and most grand of the Ancient Town of Hoi An. Its interior painted a crisp white with vibrant accents of blue, yellow, and red. As opposed to the predominantly red and gold color palette of Hoi An’s other temples and pagodas. However, sometime after its construction in 1960, the hall was converted into a temple dedicated to Thien Hau. The goddess of the sea, who shelters sailors from the malevolence of open waters.
Quan Cong Temple
The Quan Cong Temple is on the smaller side of Hoi An’s temples and pagodas. Built by Chinese immigrants, the temple serves as a place for merchants to pay respects to Quan Cong. He was a revered general during the time of the Three Kingdoms. Quan Cong is renowned for being respectful, empathetic, courageous, and decisive. Similarly, his battle strategies focused on holistic rather than hollow victories.
