  The show will be from 20:00 - 21:00 from Wednesday to Monday. During the show, you will live in the atmosphere of Hoi An in the 16th century when Hoi An was a rural village, represented by a single farmer’s home and his family’s humble life and watched Hoi An transform from a country town into a powerful central trading port in Southeast Asia. Though the show presents major historical moments, the real magic is in its delicate representations of daily life. Hundreds of actors live as it’s been done for hundreds of years. There are no dialogues or scripts; the city is the main character, and the narrator is the time thread. As the lighting shifts and changes to illustrate years and seasons, it is impossible not to realize that each spectator is also a character. This moment is a plot point in the script. Our present tense is utterly inseparable from the memory of its past.

  Opening from 16:00 - 22:00, on Wednesday to Monday, Hoi An Impression Theme Park give you an opportunity to explore Hoi An's history. Enter through the Thanh Chiem Palace gates, a relic that hearkens back to the lavish abundance of the Nguyen Dynasty. Past the citadel gates, facsimiles of five traditional artisan villages present the five basic elements that keep the universe in balance: copper stands in for metal, carpentry for wood, pottery for earth, lantern-making for fire, and fishing for water. Continue through past fusions of Vietnamese, Japanese, and European architectural styles deeper into the park, where different areas offer different themes. A commercial trading port complete with shops, stalls, and bustling merchants represents the international trade of the 17th and 18th centuries. A Japanese village pays homage to the demographics of the time when a Japanese community left its mark on Hoi An’s culture through architecturally distinct buildings and bridges.
