    the Confucius Cup in the old house
    i visited Tan Ky Old House on 10 September, though i first visited Hoi An in 2019 , i haven’t visit it yet. i was built in 1741. The name “Tan Ky” was used by Mr. Le Tan Ky., he was the second generation of Le family.the house once used to trade agricultural products. it was constructed in a special style, consists of two overlapping columns, which symbolise the relationship of heaven and human. i bought a metal keychain at their souvenirs counter.but what attracted me is a replica cup called Confucius Cup, it tells a lesson of balancing between richness and happiness. but the price is very expensive, so i didn’t buy it. you can see the antique cup in the glass showcase inside the house. it is a treasure of the Tan Ky family and also a unique antique in Vietnam.

    Historical house
    Went there in May 2023 as part of the tour package in Hoi An ancient town. Hoi An is rich in history, and this house is one of its elements. It's good to learn and see what a traditional house is like from one of the town's influential families. There is lots of antiquity inside, and there is a short presentation about the Confucius cup. A must-visit if you are into history.

    Very worthwhile
    I enjoyed visiting this merchant house. Had English labels inside. Beautiful old wooden building. The period furniture with pearl inlay was stunning. Much better than the Fukian assembly hall which had no information at all

This is an interesting visit to spend a ticket on. A fancy house of an 18th century merchant with its furniture.

Very crowded though, and if you haven’t hired a private guide, you will not learn much.

Ok visit.

We ended up here almost by mistake. We were following a Vietnamese tour group and they came into here. We had an English-speaking guide who told us some fascinating things about the Houma. Water levels in this town exceed up to two more in-depth during the rainy season. There are hooks in the upper story to haul furniture upstairs until the flood waters subside. Intricate carvings and durable materials downstairs. Get a guide if you go through where you will miss all of the interesting bits

It's undoubtedly a very impressive building, but at the same time it's constantly packed with groups of tourists. Some local guides with loud speakers ignore the other groups, and the result is very unpleasant. The only concern of the staff members is to persuade the visitors to buy souvenirs.

Came here and used 1 of our 5 Hoi an tickets. It’s a nice well kept ancient house with artefacts and text descriptions on the walls. It’s quite impressive that the family of 7 generations are still living there. You are in and out quite quick

The old house remains as it’s original design and pass on for generations. A typical Chinese mixed with Japanese design house of ancient day. With an open centre court for fresh air and sunlight. One interesting part of the house kept the records of flood level and the earlier flood was so high that’s hard to believe.

This small but very worth while House is a must to visit during a stay in Hoi An. This house is still kept within the family from I believe 7 generations. The artefacts and furniture are kept in superb condition and reflects how villagers would live in days gone by.

Visit only one old house. Ask ur tour guide to take you to only one as the story they tell inside is very repetitive...

Location makes for some goods pictures.
