Nghe Villa Hoi An

A detail list for whose planning Hoi An travel trip. A local guide of top attractions, local dishes, must-do activities, interesting tours,..

1. Hoian Ancient Town

The ancient town of Hoi An is located in Quang Nam, Vietnam, about 30km south of Da Nang city. Previously, in the 17th and 18th centuries, Hoi An was the busiest international trading port in Southeast Asia. However, by the 19th century, Hoi An was in a recession due to unfavourable water transportation. Therefore, the number of international ships and boats passing here decreased.

But also because of that Hoi An retains the ancient beauty, perfect integrity of an Asian trading port. In 1999, Hoi An was recognized by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage. And since then, Hoi An tourism has grown and become an indispensable destination for international tourists coming to Vietnam.

• Phuc Kien Assembly Hal

This is one of the most important historical sites of the Chinese people in Hoi An, built in the 17th century. This church has a unique architecture with many exquisite details, blending Chinese and Vietnamese architectural styles.

The Phuc Kien Assembly Hall in Hoi An is used as a place of worship for Thien Hau Thanh Mau - a sea goddess in the beliefs of overseas Chinese people. Additionally, this assembly hall is also utilized for organizing various major cultural festivals throughout the year, notably the Lady Thien Hau's death anniversary. In 1990, the Phuc Kien Assembly Hall was recognized as a National-level Cultural and Historical Relic.

• Sa Huynh Culture Museum

One of the tourist destinations in Hoi An that has attracted a large number of tourists in recent times is probably the Sa Huynh Culture Museum. This is the place where you can learn and explore the featured culture dating back several thousands of years, associated with the traditional culture of the Vietnamese people.

1.2. Visit the Hoai River and dropping Flower lanterns

The Hoai River is a small branch of the Thu Bon River, located in An Hoi Ward. The river meanders through the heart of the ancient town, serving as a living witness to its formation and development.

The highlight of Hoi An's ancient town at night is undoubtedly the Hoai River. The street of Bach Dang, with its yellow lanterns shining down on the Hoai River, creates a romantic and picturesque scene. This has made it a distinctive tourist destination in Hoi An that everyone wants to visit.

Sitting in a small boat drifting along the Hoai River, silently admiring the tranquil and mystical Hoi An at night. Listening to the stories about this land from the boatman in the peaceful atmosphere. Dropping the flower lanterns with your own hands, the flower latterns that carrying your wishes. That is definitely a memorable experience in the journey.

Here is a brief timeline of the history of Vietnam:

Prehistory:

- Archaeological evidence shows that humans have lived in what is now Vietnam for at least 30,000 years, with early civilizations including the Dong Son culture and the Sa Huynh culture.

2nd century BCE - 10th century CE:

- The region that is now Vietnam was part of the Chinese Han Empire for much of this period, with Chinese culture and language influencing Vietnamese society and politics.

- The Trung sisters led a rebellion against Chinese rule in 40 CE, but were ultimately defeated.

- In the 10th century, the Vietnamese kingdom of Dai Co Viet was established, with its capital at Hanoi.

Dai Co Viet was an early Vietnamese kingdom that existed from the 10th to the 11th century. It was founded by Ngo Quyen in 939 CE, after he defeated the Chinese Southern Han army at the Battle of Bach Dang River. The kingdom was known for its military strength, cultural achievements, and political stability.

- The name Dai Co Viet means "Great Viet of the Ancient Era," and it was intended to distinguish the kingdom from other Vietnamese states that existed at the time.

- The capital of Dai Co Viet was at Hoa Lu, in what is now Ninh Binh Province in northern Vietnam. The city was strategically located on the Red River delta, which allowed for easy access to both the sea and the interior of the country.

- The rulers of Dai Co Viet were known as the Ngo dynasty, and were succeeded by the Dinh and Le dynasties in the 10th and 11th centuries, respectively.

- Dai Co Viet was known for its strong military, which allowed it to defeat invading armies from China and other neighboring kingdoms.

- The kingdom was also known for its cultural achievements, including literature, architecture, and sculpture. Notable works from this period include the poetry of Li Ho and the Bich Dong Pagoda.

- Dai Co Viet was a Confucian state, with Confucianism becoming the dominant ideology and shaping many aspects of Vietnamese society and politics.

- The kingdom's decline began in the late 11th century, due to a combination of factors including political instability, economic pressures, and invasions from neighboring kingdoms.

The legacy of Dai Co Viet can still be seen in modern-day Vietnam, particularly in the country's cultural traditions and political institutions. The kingdom's emphasis on military strength and Confucian values helped to shape the identity of Vietnam as a nation, and its cultural achievements continue to inspire admiration and pride among the Vietnamese people.

11th-19th century:

- Dai Co Viet became known as the Ly dynasty in the 11th century, and later the Tran and Le dynasties.

- Vietnam experienced periods of occupation by neighboring kingdoms, including the Mongol Empire and the Ming Dynasty of China.

- In the 17th century, the Nguyen dynasty was established in the southern part of Vietnam, with its capital at Hue.

The Nguyen dynasty was the last ruling dynasty of Vietnam, which lasted from 1802 to 1945. The dynasty was founded by Emperor Gia Long and was known for its political and cultural achievements, as well as its conflicts with colonial powers.

- The Nguyen dynasty was founded in 1802, after Emperor Gia Long defeated the rival Tay Son rebels and united Vietnam under his rule.

- The dynasty was named after the Nguyen family, which had been a prominent political force in southern Vietnam for several centuries.

- The Nguyen dynasty was known for its political and administrative reforms, including the establishment of a centralized bureaucracy and the adoption of civil service exams for government officials.

- The dynasty also oversaw significant cultural achievements, including the construction of palaces, temples, and other architectural landmarks. Notable examples include the Imperial City in Hue and the Thien Mu Pagoda.

- The Nguyen dynasty faced several challenges during its rule, including conflicts with neighboring countries and colonial powers. Vietnam was occupied by France in the late 19th century, and the Nguyen dynasty became a French protectorate in 1884.

- The dynasty also faced internal challenges, including rebellions and uprisings by various groups, including the Black Flag army and the Boxers.

- The Nguyen dynasty came to an end in 1945, when Emperor Bao Dai abdicated the throne in favor of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, which was led by Ho Chi Minh.

The legacy of the Nguyen dynasty can still be seen in modern-day Vietnam, particularly in the country's cultural traditions and architecture. The dynasty's achievements in politics, administration, and culture continue to inspire admiration and pride among the Vietnamese people, and its conflicts with colonial powers are remembered as an important part of Vietnam's history and national identity.

- Vietnam became a French colony in the late 19th century, with French influence extending throughout society and politics.

20th century:

- Vietnam declared independence from France in 1945, with Ho Chi Minh becoming the country's first president. However, France continued to exert control over the country until its defeat in the Battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954.

- Vietnam was divided into North and South Vietnam, with the communist North led by Ho Chi Minh and the South supported by the United States.

- The Vietnam War, a conflict between North and South Vietnam, lasted from 1955 to 1975 and resulted in the deaths of millions of Vietnamese people.

- In 1976, North and South Vietnam were reunified as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, with Hanoi as its capital.

21st century:

- Since the end of the Vietnam War, Vietnam has experienced significant economic growth and development, with the country's economy becoming one of the fastest-growing in Southeast Asia.

- Vietnam has also become an increasingly important player in international politics and diplomacy, with the country hosting a number of high-profile events and conferences.

- However, Vietnam has faced criticism for its human rights record and limitations on political freedom and press freedom.

This timeline provides a brief overview of the history of Vietnam, but there are many more details and complexities to this story. Vietnam's rich cultural heritage and diverse political history have made it a fascinating and complex place, with a unique identity that continues to evolve and develop.

[I wrote this post for Shaw at the board I’m playing him at, thought I would repost here as fic] “Beneath White Berries” The Hellfire Club did not celebrate a Christmas Ball or even Holiday Ball, but a Winter Solstice Ball. There were two reasons for this. The first was practical. Most people, however rich they were, preferred to spend Christmas (or whatever their holiday was for this season, there were many the world over) with their families, so scheduling any event on Christmas night would make for a small turnout, and this was meant to be the grandest of the year. The second was historical----when the original Hellfire Club had first been founded in England hundreds of years ago, the Church had held MUCH greater power over society as a whole as a moral authority...a moral authority whose constraints the members of the Hellfire Club sought to escape. Thus, it was trendy at the time among the social elite to engage in a sort of recreational blasphemy, mockingly pretending to engage in paganism or devil worship or other ‘shocking’ ceremonies that involved no actual belief on their part, and inevitably ended in ritualistic sex. Indeed, this symbolic revolt against the morality of the time period was probably why it had been called the Hellfire Club in the first place, though no one could be quite sure. In any case, while the pseudo-pagan aspects of the Club had faded as the Church’s power declined, they did keep the tradition of eschewing holidays associated with any particular religion or country, and instead on the natural cycle of the Earth itself---namely, the Vernal and Autumnal Equinoxes, and the Summer and Winter Solstices. Of course, most people did not know this, and Shaw had even heard the Hellfire Club accused of trying to be “politically correct” by calling it the “Winter Solstice” instead of “Christmas” so as not to offend non-Christians...even though the Hellfire Club had been holding the gala under this name for centuries before that was even a concept. Whatever one called it, whatever it was for, it was spectacular. The ballroom of the Manhattan branch’s headquarters was filled by 80,000 poinsettias and Christmas roses and black hellebore flowers (which, ironically, were white---where the name came from, Shaw hadn’t the foggiest), a sheer forest of holly boughs upon the walls, jungle-like garlands of ivy snaking up the gilded bannisters of the massive marble staircases, and intertwined between the many arms of the huge chandeliers overhead. Towering trees loomed in the far corners of the room, branches bedecked with ornate festoons based on Greco-Roman friezes. Ice sculptures presided over the vast buffets like slowly melting monarchs both Christian and Pagan--- an angel, the Holly King, Father Christmas, two turtle doves, a rearing reindeer, the Yule goat, a gigantic snowflake, the god Saturn, Sol Invictus, a devilish leering Krampus, and, of course, a partridge in a pear tree. The place smelled of pine and sage and frankincense, of spiced mead and eggnog (the stronger stuff had no odor, at least not one that could compete), and, on the dance floor, a thousand mingling perfumes and colognes of the upper class as they swayed together to the highs and lows of Bach’s six-part Christmas Oratorio, originally written 1734, now performed here by a live orchestra in period-accurate livery. Sebastian Shaw had overseen it all. He certainly could not be bothered with every little decision that went into the ordeal, but it had all ultimately come back to his direction and approval. It had been months in the making---preparations began for one Winter Solstice gala almost immediately after the other-- and now here it was, blossoming before his eyes like one of the countless Christmas roses bedecking the room (actually NOT countless, he had approved exactly how many he paid for, there were precisely 20,000 of the bloody things, not a single petal more or less) Yet, he was partaking only minimally. Oh yes, he greeted the most important people with the appropriate appearance of tis-the-fucking-season joy, smiled with artificial warmth at the rest should they meet his gaze, but once he had plowed through all the requisite pleasantries, he’d more or less retired from partaking in the festivities he had funded. It wasn’t a disinterest in the pleasures laid out---it was more a disinterest in the people, and the fact he was conserving energy for a more private revelry far later tonight, in the wee witching hours of the morning. A little something that involved driving out to the woods and pastures of a private farm where he would bound on all fours through the snow wearing nothing but leather straps on his body and antlers atop his head, while being pursued by a team of catsuit-clad women on horseback wielding whips that were NOT for their steeds. That was HIS idea of a happy holiday. He diverted some time talking by one of the white marble fireplaces (big enough for a man to talk into, beautifully carved, framed with finely carved columns) with a striking woman who called herself Tigris--as in the great river of Mesopotamia--who allowed him to stroke her thick black hair as others might stroke a cat, with a promise of more later in private. But after the implication was made, she drifted away, and he turned to his other side to do the same...and found someone else in the direction he was about to step in. His eyes met theirs...and then glanced up, his brows and head raising with them, to direct the other person’s gaze to the white-berried plant danging above the pair. “Mistletoe,” he said, and let the implication hang for just a moment before added, “ It’s your prerogative. Since its founding, the Hellfire Club has been equal parts holding tradition and breaking it.” Meaning, they could follow ‘tradition’ here or not, it was their move. What was that look in his dark eyes under their heavy brows? Challenge? Warning? Expectation? Or anticipation?

[historical-nonfiction]

In 1287 CE, China's great Mongol emperor Kublai Khan received word that his navy had been crushed in Vietnam. Nearly 400 of the emperor's prized ships, part of a massive invasion force, had become trapped in the Bach Dang River, where Vietnamese soldiers set them afire with flaming arrows and burning bamboo rafts. But how did Tran Hung Dao, king of Vietnam’s Tran Dynasty, do it?

According to texts from the period, Vietnamese forces cut down hundreds of trees, sharpened their ends, and placed them in a "stakeyard" across the Bach Dang River. Then, small ships lured Kublai Khan's fleet into the area just before the tides turned. As the water ebbed, long lines of stakes emerged several feet out of the water, barricading the river and preventing escape.

Today archaeologists are mapping the surviving remnants of the stakeyard. At least some of the stakeyard lies in local rice paddies, whose mud helps preserve the wooden stakes. They archaeologists also found that stakes weren't the only barriers -- the Vietnamese forces cleverly used existing islands and other natural obstacles in their barrier.

Jenny’s opinion on important Asians

Hello there, this is Purple and I was forced to write this blog about top 5 most important Asians, feel like those crappy rating channels! Keep in mind that I’m probably writing this at 2 am so most info may not even make sense. Any BS aside, let’s go, woooooo! And since I’m woke AF, I’ll include woman, probably. :>

5. Qin Shi Huang

Ah, the founder of the Qin dynasty, when China got its name and shape. Qin Shi Huang is the mad man that started the Great Wall, an international symbol for China, aka what Chinese people brag about, “You can see it in space!” bla bal bla...NO! Stop it, we get it, you’re proud but shouldn’t you be studying other things that’s not related to a lawyer, doctors or desk top? Other things they should proud about is his unification of the country. Or how now you must pay for a can air because the air there is so polluted? Or how Donald Tru- let's just stay away from politics.

4. Mahatma Gandhi

Well well well, this Indian fella was the leader of the Indian independence movement against British rule. After seeing his people suffering to those white skinned, easily sun-burned Brits, he led the “Dandi Salt March” for this weird thing called a Salt tax. He was imprisoned for many years because you know how white people loves prisons. Gandhi’s hard work paid off and he inspired many people, especially Dr. Luther King Jr for the civil rights movement. His birthday-2nd October-is also now a national holiday for India and an International Non-violence Day.

3. Muhammad  

The founder of Islam, the last prophet, the 5 pillars of Islam, … and yup, Muslim. I found so much standup Muslim comedians and it’s crazy how they can make parking spots sounds funny. Guess what? 21% of peeps are Muslim, I mean people. And they don’t eat beef, wooo, another step from selective empathy. And like they played a pretty big role in history, from the father of modern surgery to Saladin vs Crusades.

2. Genghis Khan

We did a whole darn debate about this (and “for” won for both classes) He’s great at battles and tactics and probably the best conqueror back then, now the internet rules. I mean he literally, by himself, was better than all the Roman emperors at conquering. And he created his own mail system, there would be no “Loserville” without him. Weird fact: A lot of people called him daddy- I'll make my exit soon.

Honorable mentions:

Trung sisters:

Two badass sisters that in 40 AD, led the first rebellion against the Chinese, started 1000 years of fighting against the Chinese that ended with Ngo Quyen with his fight on the Bach Dang river. These ladies are not weak, the eldest, Trung Trac chose her country over her husband and let him die in the hand of the invaders.  

Ho Chi Minh

I am Vietnamese ok, I want to brag about my country just as much as the Chinese to theirs. Ho Chi Minh City is the new name of Sai Gon, the South capital under the Vietnam war. Do you know how much impact he has on us Vietnamese? He was a great president, like the Obama of Vietnam, just saying~ Ho Chi Minh loved kids by the way, that’s why we had to learn so much about him when we were kids, that’s why we’re so familiar with him and how humble he was.

Saladin

He led the Muslim to fight in the Third Crusades. Very noble of him because he did not allow Muslim to steal from them, which is cool but wouldn’t work for me, I mean they rich.

Timur the Lame

According to Wikipedia he emerged as the most powerful ruler in the Muslim world. He took inspirations from Genghis Khan, second place, and saw himself as his heir. Sadly, out of the millions of descendants, he wasn’t one.

Empress Wu

Also from wiki, yay,Wu Zetian was the concubine of Emperor Taizong. After he died :<, she married his ninth son, Emperor Gaozong. She expanded China out of its territorial limits Wu's leadership resulted in important effects regarding social class in Chinese society and in relation to state support for religion, education, and literature.  

1. Jesus

I don’t even think I should explain anything, I mean, it’s Jesus. When you say “Oh My GODDDDDDD” who do you think is the god, Allah- whoops I meant Jesus. You can’t exactly go to a country without a church, but you’re not going to North Korea and Saudi Arabia just to prove me wrong, are you? We associate the cross with God and Holly right, and you wouln’t want to upset 33% of people follow this religion, right?

Ok, that’s enough now, I wrote more than 800 words and I’ll be surprise that you read all you it. Sorry for putting you through torture, Purple’s out!
