Kim Bong Village
Little away from Hoi An is a small town of Kim Bong. Immediately after coming out of the Small Boat we visited the Boat Building Workshop , How to make Rice Noodles , How to weave Sleeping Mat , Huynh family temple and a Handycraft Shop . It's a 10 min boat ride from the Central Market. We had our bicycles put in the boat and afterwards we visited the small town on our little bicycles. Make sure to make yourself hydrated .
An Bang Beach
Little taxi ride away from the town is An Bang Beach. Long stretch of beach with few basic cafes. Its pretty famous in the locals and lovely views from the cafes. You can easily spend 2-3 hours with you drinks. Make sure the book your cab in advance as at night there'll be less taxis available in this area and you need to call the taxi company.
Fujian Chinese Assembly Hall
Initially a conventional get together lobby, this structure was later changed into a sanctuary for the love of Thien Hau, a divinity from Fujian area. The green-tiled triple entryway dates from 1975. The painting on the right-hand divider portrays Thien Hau, her path lit by lamp light as she crosses a stormy ocean to protect a foundering ship. Inverse is a painting of the leaders of the six Fujian families who fled from China to Hoi An in the seventeenth century. You will locate some exquisite ranch around the lobby.
