Lộc Yên Ancient Village

Giới thiệu

Introduction Loc Yen Ancient Village belongs to Thanh Binh Commune, Da Nang City, about nearly 100 km from the city center. It still preserves ancient houses that are hundreds of years old, with the skillful carvings of artisans from Van Ha carpentry guild, a famous carpentry guild in Quang Nam known for the mysterious turning table. Loc Yen Village also has an entire stone cultural space filled with a sense of rustic solitude and antiquity, along with parasitic vegetation transformed into interesting and unique stone motifs and stone paintings of the midland region of Thanh Binh. Visiting Loc Yen Ancient Village, travelers can discover its distinctive garden-house architecture. Stone lanes and stone embankments, steadfast through the ages, terrace the lush gardens filled with specialty fruit trees. Visitors can pick ripe white longan clusters and juicy thanh tra fruits by hand, then enjoy them right in the local garden; they can also experience the mysterious, exciting feeling of placing a hand on the enigmatic turning table… It is hoped that this will soothe the fatigue of travelers on their journey to explore Loc Yen. Loc Yen Ancient Village was recognized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as a national relic in 2019. Located in the midland area of Thanh Binh, within the expanded Hoi An area to the southwest of Da Nang City, the atmosphere here is completely different from the ancient town: quiet, slow-paced, and very rustic. This is a craft village - an ancient village that still preserves its characteristic garden-house structure, stone lanes, and stone embankments, creating the feeling of stepping into a living space preserved through many generations. What makes Loc Yen interesting is that its value lies not only in the architecture, but also in the way local people continue to maintain a lifestyle closely tied to their gardens, stones, and traditional carpentry. If you like less noisy destinations that have cultural depth and offer a sense of relaxation, Loc Yen is a place well worth spending time to slow down. Highlights The system of ancient houses, hundreds of years old, still retains its traditional appearance, making it suitable for visitors interested in folk architecture. The stone lanes and stone embankments create a very distinctive landscape, both aesthetically pleasing and reflective of how people in the past adapted to the midland terrain. The lush garden spaces with specialty fruits offer a close-up experience of local rural life. Visitors can pick and enjoy fruit right in the garden, creating a more authentic experience than a regular sightseeing visit. The turning table experience is a unique highlight, sparking curiosity and adding an element of local cultural discovery to the trip. The village’s value was officially recognized with the title of a national relic in 2019, showing that it is a destination of clear conservation significance. Helpful Tips It is best to visit in the morning or early afternoon for more pleasant weather, especially from February to August. Choose low-heeled, comfortable shoes, as the area has distinctive stone lanes, stone embankments, and garden paths. Ticket prices and experience services may change depending on the time, so check again before entering to avoid confusion. Weekends or peak periods can be busier, so it is better to arrive early to have more comfortable time exploring the ancient houses and turning table. You can combine the visit with nearby attractions in Thanh Binh or a trip toward western Da Nang; the exact itinerary should be checked again according to the actual route.
