3Old House of Tan Ky
Tan Ky Old House – Built over 200 years ago by a Vietnamese merchant family, this house blends Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese architectural styles. Inside, visitors can admire carved wooden beams, antique furniture, trading artifacts, and even flood markings on the walls. A highlight is the Confucius cup (chiếc chén Khổng Tử), a unique ceramic that only holds liquid when filled to a moderate level, symbolizing balance, modesty, and the Confucian way of life. It remains one of the best-preserved old houses in Hoi An. (Please note, if this ancient house is too crowded or temporarily closed, we will guide you to visit another ancient house.)
