@chopsticksonthelooseThe most popular house style here is the one or two-story tubular house with a narrow width and a very long depth. The house is made from materials with high endurance and durability due to the harsh climate here. The two sides have separate brick walls and wooden frames, divided into three compartments with a path in the middle. Each house in Hoi An ensures harmony between living space and nature. Each house has a courtyard paved with stone and decorated with a water tank, a rockery, and ornamental plants, creating an overall beauty.

@nhhimsoc13A feature of the architecture in Hoi An Ancient Town is the streets built in the shape of a checkerboard, winding along the riverside and embracing houses. In each of those peaceful little corners, visitors can easily encounter street vendors with many famous dishes such as Cao Lau, Quang noodles, bread, chicken rice, or shops selling art handicrafts.
