Tan Ky Old House
The Basics
As an integral part of Hoi An’s visual charm, Tan Ky Old House is featured on most tours of Hoi An Ancient Town. A popular choice among first-time visitors is a half-day walking tour, which allows travelers to cover the main attractions of the UNESCO World Heritage Site on foot for a more intimate glimpse into the area. If you’re on a time budget, opt for a day trip that combines a tour of Hoi An with a visit to Da Nang for an interesting contrast.

When to Get There
The heritage house is open daily between 8am and 5pm. The Old Town’s popularity means it often gets very crowded, so try to arrive as early as possible if you want to feel like you have Tan Ky House all to yourself.
The Confucius Cup
Among many Asian antiques, Tan Ky House is home to the only Confucius cup in the country. By design, if the cup is filled all the way, it drains itself—a lesson in moderation, according to the great Chinese philosopher.
