Walking Etiquette in Hoi An Ancient Town

Respectful visiting — temples, photography, residential alleys, and tipping on free walking tours.

Courtyard of the Fujian Assembly Hall in Hoi An Ancient Town
Assembly halls and temples reward quiet, covered shoulders, and slow footsteps.

Residential alleys are home

Many yellow-walled lanes are still home to families. Keep voices low, do not enter open doorways uninvited, and step aside for motorbikes even in pedestrian zones.

Sacred spaces

Remove hats in assembly halls when requested, avoid turning your back directly on altar statues for photos, and dress modestly at spiritual sites.

Our guides explain customs before entering shared spaces — follow their cues when unsure.

Free tours and tips

Our walking tours are free to join. Tips at the end are voluntary and paid in cash if you choose — never required upfront.
