Have you ever wondered what it's like to walk through a home that has stood for over 200 years? Well, you're in luck because this stop on our Discover Hoi An tour is just that.\n\nAs the famous saying goes, 'history has its eyes on you,' and at this stop, you'll be standing in the footsteps of history. Old House of Tan Ky has been passed down through several generations of the same family since it was built over 200 years ago, and it still stands proudly today as a testament to the architecture and lifestyle of the locals in Hoi An. \n\nAs we look around at this traditional wooden house, I am reminded of a story my grandmother once told me about how the floorboards creaked in a specific pattern to indicate if there was something valuable hidden underneath. You see, during the war, the family who owned this house even used these secret spots to hide from danger. They were able to escape the terror of the world outside by disappearing within their own walls. \n\nAs you explore the different rooms in the house, take note of the unique features, like the intricate carvings and especially the eye-shaped windows that are meant to ward off evil spirits. Try to picture what it would have been like to live here over 200 years ago, and imagine the stories the walls could tell.\n\nVisiting Old House of Tan Ky is not only a wonderful opportunity to learn more about Hoi An's rich history but also a chance to appreciate the beauty of traditional Vietnamese architecture. So go ahead and take your time to absorb it all before moving on to our next stop on the Discover Hoi An tour."},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FteKRcAcHFqzewAIfyDQh%2Ftan-ky-old-house-thumb_1648200034.jpg?alt=media&token=adc23b58-5b14-4ebf-b525-765852ec109e"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FteKRcAcHFqzewAIfyDQh%2Fnha-co-tan-ky-02_1628766978.jpg?alt=media&token=dd5d28b6-b6a3-432d-bdee-c209ce7510ad"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FteKRcAcHFqzewAIfyDQh%2Fnha-co-tan-ky-hoi-an-diem-den-nhat-dinh-nen-ghe-tham-1.jpg?alt=media&token=fe2796b1-9004-42a4-afcf-65c069b521d5"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FteKRcAcHFqzewAIfyDQh%2FNha-co-tan-ky-hoi-an-an-tuong-nha-co-hon-200-nam-tuoi-12-1617437217.jpg?alt=media&token=d2ca28f8-31c5-4d1d-99df-bc4af3429449"}]},{"address":"Hội An Night Market","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.18347772757635147,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":15.87597185451641,"longitude":108.32597974999999},"media":[{"type":"audio","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FteKRcAcHFqzewAIfyDQh%2F0331%20(8).mp3?alt=media&token=7f25899a-d2a0-4847-b6d3-ce48ce0971c0"},{"type":"text","content":"And our last stop is Hoi An Night Market. Did you know that this market has been around for centuries and has remained a vital part of the local community ever since? As a local guide, I've been coming here since I was a kid, and I can tell you that there's nothing quite like the energy of Hoi An at night. \n\nAs the famous Vietnamese philosopher, Confucius once said, \"the night market is where traditions and cultures meet.\" And it's true! Here, you will find a blend of Vietnamese, Chinese and Japanese culture brought to life in the stalls selling street food, handmade souvenirs, and traditional crafts. \n\nDon't miss out on this opportunity to taste some of Hoi An's most famous dishes under the stars, like cao lầu, bánh mì or mi quang. There's something for everyone here, from fashion to food, spices to souvenirs, and I'm sure you'll find something you'll love. \n\nTake your time exploring the market and don't hesitate to ask the vendors about their products or try bargaining for a better price. This is a market after all, and the prices are meant to be haggled. \n\nWhen you're done, let's move on to the next stop on our tour. Head towards the Thu Bon River, where we'll be taking a boat ride and admiring some of Hoi An's most beautiful lanterns. Remember, this is a self-guided tour, so take your time and explore this fascinating city at your leisure."},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FteKRcAcHFqzewAIfyDQh%2FNight-market-hoian-apt.jpg?alt=media&token=bfadc139-c6cf-4de4-a4ea-59ee5e753b8f"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FteKRcAcHFqzewAIfyDQh%2Fhoi-an-night-market-thumb-1.jpg?alt=media&token=1035cf72-c0f2-440c-b8dd-a502a907658b"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FteKRcAcHFqzewAIfyDQh%2F5f5af12c3a416.jpg?alt=media&token=ceca3609-8aa1-423f-9eaa-efb45c7e501b"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FteKRcAcHFqzewAIfyDQh%2F5f5af12c3a561.jpg?alt=media&token=8dca1e42-b47a-4cce-8da0-10c8f42ec992"}]}]
