We had a wonderful morning learning about organic gardening. We sampled some delicious teas and juices. We toured their large gardens stopping to taste and/or smell a great variety of herbs, fruits and vegetables. Back in the kitchen we helped grind rice flower and making rice paper to make our own spring rolls. This was the first of five amazing dishes we prepared from scratch using ingredients from the farm. Thanks to Mrs. Hang and her partner Mr Thui and their staff for a great morning and a really genuine Vietnamese experience.

This was a really fun experience ... something different to your typical tourist attractions. Very enjoyable experiences - farming with the locals, scenic bamboo boat ride, heavenly foot massage and fun cooking lessons followed by a delicious lunch. The host family was very hospitable and very welcoming. I recommend this as a great way to see Hoi An life and have some great laughs.

Fukian Assembly Hall (Phuc Kien)

Each of the many animal statues in this stunning meeting hall symbolize some life quality such as wisdom, longevity and nobility; Chinese merchants from the Phuc Kien province built this structure in 1697.

At the heart of "Hôi An Ancient Town", an ornated gate will certainly catch your attention. This is the entering gate to "Fukian Assembly Hall"! It dates from the late 17th century and its main objective was to be a meeting point for Chinese immigrants from Fujian province living in Hôi An. Years later, the Chinese goddess of the seas and protector of sailors, "Thien Hau Thanh Mau", was enshrined at its main hall and, thus, it became known and revered as "Phuc Kien Temple". "Fukian Assembly Hall" is famous for the refined colorful Chinese style present in its gates, courtyards, buildings and ponds. Check the sacred characters, beautiful statues and images, bronze bells, old drums and lacquered works of art. And remember, "Hôi An Ancient Town" is, since 1999, a Unesco appointed "World Heritage Site"! Take your time, visit the temple and burn an incense with your name written in Chinese characters on it. May "Thien Hau Thanh Mau" bless your visit to the enchanted Hôi An! Unmissable! Enjoy!
