Old House of Tan Ky has been passed down through several generations of the same family since it was built over 200 years ago, and it still stands proudly today as a testament to the architecture and lifestyle of the locals in Hoi An. \n\nAs we look around at this traditional wooden house, I am reminded of a story my grandmother once told me about how the floorboards creaked in a specific pattern to indicate if there was something valuable hidden underneath. You see, during the war, the family who owned this house even used these secret spots to hide from danger. They were able to escape the terror of the world outside by disappearing within their own walls. \n\nAs you explore the different rooms in the house, take note of the unique features, like the intricate carvings and especially the eye-shaped windows that are meant to ward off evil spirits. Try to picture what it would have been like to live here over 200 years ago, and imagine the stories the walls could tell.\n\nVisiting Old House of Tan Ky is not only a wonderful opportunity to learn more about Hoi An's rich history but also a chance to appreciate the beauty of traditional Vietnamese architecture.
