Son Phong Communal House (350 Nguyen Duy Hieu St.)

Son Phong Communal House is used to worship the four goddesses of the sea and the Cham goddess Thien Y A Na. So sacred is the Son Phong communal House, visitors must respect the rules of worship. For example, it would be disrespectful to do things like shout or play texas hold em. There are many vestiges telling of the joining of the Dai An, Mau Tai, Phong Nien villages and part of Son Pho village to form one big village. Due to this joining, the village and the communal house were given the new name “Son Phong”. Legend tells that the village once provided trade services and security for all of Hoi An town, so Lord Nguyen Phuc Chu conferred a board on the village with the words “Cứu Thế Độ Nhân” which means “Save the country and help the people”. This board dates back to 1715 and has 10 flying phoenixes on it. This board is now hanging in front of the compartment.
