The entrance design is inspired by the Thanh Chiem Citadel, reflecting the prosperity and authority of the Nguyen Dynasty. The architecture harmoniously blends elements from Vietnam, Japan, and various European countries. Locals believe that the five basic elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—are vital for universal balance. This concept is illustrated through five artisan villages: copperwork (metal), carpentry (wood), fishing (water), pottery (earth), and lantern-making (fire). These villages play key roles in Quang Nam province’s historical, economic, and cultural narrative, producing diverse yet meticulous crafts by skilled artisans.

The complex is organized into distinct sight-seeing areas with themed attractions:

The Commercial Port

Hoi An was a prominent international port for two centuries, where merchants from France, the Netherlands, and Portugal interacted with their Japanese and Chinese counterparts. The ambiance is reminiscent of bustling shops and vibrant traders.
