Phung Hung Old House

Hoi An


Just a few steps down from the Japanese Covered Bridge, this old house has a wide, welcoming entrance hall decorated with exquisite lanterns, wall hangings and embroidery. You can walk out onto a balcony and there’s also an impressive suspended altar. Note that with all the photographing by the crowds that squeeze onto the balcony, the staff may control numbers to avoid the risk of it collapsing.
