Teochew Assembly Hall Hoi An: The Right Address, History and What to See
Teochew Assembly Hall Hoi An: The Right Address, History and What to See
The Teochew Assembly Hall in Hoi An is at 362 Nguyen Duy Hieu. Work began in 1845, it honors a protector of sea traders, and it is usually much quieter than the halls on Tran Phu.
Most visitors reach the Fujian hall, take a photo, and turn back. Keep walking along Nguyen Duy Hieu and you’ll find a hall that gets a fraction of the crowds, with wood carving that rewards a slow look. This page is short by design. It gives you the right address, the corrected dates and an honest note on the ticket question, which is where most online guides go wrong.

History of the Teochew Assembly Hall and its deity
According to a stone stele kept at the hall and cited in a study by Nguyen Cuong on the Hoi An heritage site, construction began in 1845 and finished in 1852. Many guides give only the first date. The main deity is Phuc Ba Tuong Quan, a protector of sailors and sea traders. This makes sense. Teochew merchants lived off the sea trade through this port, so the hall was both a place of worship and a place to meet, and help one another.
The gate takes a few seconds to photograph. The carved wood inside is the part that repays some of your time.
What to see in 20 minutes
- Gate and roofline: ceramic details and creatures along the ridges.
- Wood carving: stop at the beams and doors, as this is what most people walk past.
- Main altar: this is a working place of worship, so keep your voice low.
Dress modestly, don’t touch the carvings, and skip the flash. Because it is quiet, you’ll have time for details. The Vietnamese version of this page is here.
Getting there and what to pair it with
Nguyen Duy Hieu runs along the eastern side of the Old Town. Motor vehicles are restricted on the walking streets at 09:00–11:00 and 15:00–21:30, so we suggest parking and walking, or using a bicycle. From here, it’s an easy walk to the Fujian Assembly Hall and the Cantonese Assembly Hall, or ride to the Confucius Temple.
