Location: Located at 46 Tran Phu St., Hoi
An Town, Quang Nam Province.
Characteristics: Phuoc Kien Assembly Hall, also called Kim Son Pagoda,
was built in 1692 by Chinese Phuoc Kien merchants.
It has since been restored and enhanced many times. Because it was used for
worship as well as for meetings by the Chinese from Phuoc Kien Province, this
construction is now called the Phuoc Kien Assembly Hall. The Holy Mother and the
Goddess of the Sea, Thien Hau, are worshipped in the main sanctuary. The Phuoc
Kien ancestors and the God of Prosperity are worshipped in the sanctuary behind
the main one. This temple is architecturally unique with its artistic ornaments
and beautiful statues. The Chinese architectural style combined with Vietnamese
workmanship has enriched it with Hoi An�s cultural character.
