Danang/Hue/HoiAn 2025 - Hoi An Hokkien Clan Temple (2/3)

Walking into the clan temple, we were greeted with even more art work. From the door frame, to the walls, the doors, everything! If you take your time, you could cover every single inch of this building and find something delicate to admire. The wordings in gold here just says Hokkien Clan House. 

And on the two sides of it, were these detail art pieces, too high to see in details, but you knew it was lovely and took some artisans to create these. 

They exist on both sides, and both side has different designs and paintings on it. 

Walking in, these are the door looking out. Pretty similar to what you will find in Penang clan houses. 

But there seems to be more paintings on the wall here. 

Not sure what they are saying with these paintings. History? Legends? I didn't see much descriptions on them. 

Walking in further, we came to another hall with a lovely floor design, and ring incense hanging from the ceiling. 

 

Lovely floor tiles! And the incenses are so mesmorising. 

Further in, more paintings and altar. Not sure what altar are these. Ancestors? 

They looked like it, but it's rather few compared to what you will find in the clan houses of Penang. 

Association photos. These must be all the Hokkien living in Hoi An! But somehow, Hokkien doesn't seems to be spoken widely here, not like in Singapore or Penang where you can hear it on the streets and in daily lives. 

Confucious is here too!

I love green doors! And this one even has a dragon carved into it! It looked western, yet easter at the same time. I want a house with such door! There is a village called Wentworth in the UK that only has green doors! I could own a house there and have green doors according to the village code, but mine would have a dragon on it! Ha!
