Paris in the summer of 2017. Because travel is next to impossible these days, I am reduced to posting photos of places I have been.

Neglected, Hoi An
Wen Sheng Temple, Hoi An
Wen Sheng Temple is taken from the three red Chinese characters above the gateway. I do not know if “Wen Sheng” refers to a person or has a meaning, and I was unable to find any information about this building online. English language information, that is. Located on Phan Chu Trinh street in the Hoi An Old Town.

All-China Assembly Hall, Hoi An
Guangzhao Assembly Hall, Hoi An
In the past, this hall and several other assembly halls served as meeting places for Chinese traders and other Chinese living in Hoi An. Completed in 1885, the Guangzhao Assembly Hall was built well after Hoi An had passed its heyday as a major trading center along the Vietnamese coast. While some of the assembly halls served Chinese from particular parts of China, this hall was open to all members of the Chinese community in Hoi An.

Ancient House Hotel, Hoi An
To be honest, what I saw from the road looked more rundown than ancient. But who’s to say… Definitely a lovely Hoi An setting.
