Phuc Kien Assembly Hall (Fujian Assembly Hall)

In a city full of historical and architectural landmarks, Phuc Kien Assembly Hall (Fujian Assembly Hall) is not to be missed. What once served as a gathering place for Chinese merchants, today functions as one of the city’s largest and most ornate temples. Intricate craftsmanship begins with the massive gates that protect this historic structure from the hustle of Hoi An streets, and it continues through the shaded hallways and colorful rooms.

 Visitors can light incense burners in honor of their loved ones and explore the beautifully carved details of giant dragon statues and well-tended gardens.

Practical Info

The assembly hall is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, but visit mid-day and enjoy the cool shade of the temple. It is a short walk from most places in Hoi An and also accessible by bike.
