This magazine describes Tran Phu Street in Hoi An as not simply a place for tourists to walk, but also a wonderful experience. It's a street that takes us back to the past, centuries ago, with shops and heritage sites lining both sides. Visitors here can not only admire the ancient architecture but also feel the slow, peaceful pace of life characteristic of Hoi An.
Tran Phu Street is distinguished by its ancient houses with moss-covered red tiled roofs, along with shops selling handicrafts, silk, and other traditional products. With every step along this street, visitors feel as if they are entering a space rich in history and culture, where each house and every street corner holds its own unique story.
Despite enduring many historical ups and downs, Tran Phu Street has retained its ancient charm.
This picturesque street, located in Minh Anh ward, Hoi An city, is approximately 1 km long. One end connects to Hoang Dieu street, and the other end leads to the Japanese Bridge. Situated in the heart of Hoi An's old town, it was known during the French colonial period as Rue du Pont Japonnais, meaning "Japanese Bridge Street."
This ancient yet picturesque road is a popular stop for many tourists.
In addition, along the route there are many famous attractions such as the Japanese Bridge, Chinese assembly halls and other architectural relics, creating a diverse picture of culture and history. Furthermore, there are the Quan Thang ancient house, the Duc An ancient house; and Chinese assembly halls such as the Hainan Assembly Hall, the Duong Thuong Assembly Hall, the Guangdong Assembly Hall, and the Fujian Assembly Hall.
This street makes a strong impression on tourists not only because of its ancient architecture and rich cultural heritage but also because of the brightly colored lanterns that illuminate the streets on the 15th day of each lunar month. These lanterns are not only a symbol of Hoi An but also create a shimmering, magical atmosphere, attracting thousands of visitors to admire and take photos.
Tourists from all over flocked to this 1km road.
More than just a place to stroll and explore, Tran Phu Street is also a place to enjoy local cuisine. The street food stalls offering Hoi An specialties like Cao Lau, Quang noodles, and steamed buns are sure to satisfy any visitor.
Many tourists who have visited have commented, "You haven't truly been to Hoi An Ancient Town until you've been to Tran Phu Street."
Visiting Hoi An today, one feels as if they are stepping back in time, lost in the traditional atmosphere of a bustling trading port during the Nguyen Dynasty. The ancient town of Hoi An has preserved almost intact the cultural, architectural, and historical values from hundreds of years ago. Small, cobblestone streets, ancient houses with moss-covered red tiled roofs, and vibrant bougainvillea flowers covering everything create a lively, colorful, and peaceful atmosphere.
