Minh Huong Communal House was built by descendants of Chinese Ming loyalists who settled in Vietnam after refusing to submit to the Qing dynasty. Over time, the community assimilated into Vietnamese life, but the house preserves a visible trace of Hoi An's Chinese and Vietnamese trading history.
It is a small stop rather than a headline sight, best visited as part of a slow walk through the old town's assembly halls, temples, and merchant houses.
