Chaozhou Assembly Hall (Trieu Chau): Homesickness Carved in Wood

  • Lanterns on the Thu Bon: After the ships stopped coming, Hoi An lit itself instead. Follow the light through a former trading port that turned its silk, its river, and its lantern craft into a nightly performance you can walk at your own pace.
  • The Halls of the Overseas Chinese: A slow walk down one old street in Hoi An, reading five homesick Chinese communities in the temples they built to feel less far from home. Part temple, part clan clubhouse, part immigrant bank, these assembly halls are a map of who fled where.
