The chapel retains many original elements. If you’re lucky, Mr Le, a direct descendent of the family patriarch, will take you through the chapel and explain its beautiful features.
The Tran Family Chapel is slightly away from the main cluster of historic buildings so it tends to be less busy than some of the other places. It's a favourite.
Address: 21 Le Loi St, Hoi An
Japanese Bridge
Hoi An’s iconic Japanese Bridge also has a small Taoist pagoda that you’ll certainly encounter when visiting the bridge. The bridge has its own reference in See and Do Hoi An.
Address: Western end of Tran Phu St, Hoi An
