Pensive refrain of Hội An ancient town Revealing the footprints of passing years Pealings of temple bell resonate thoughtfully Glorious traces evanesce with time Pensive refrains of Hội An's human love Flowery wooden shoes, romantic lanterns Moon touches the graceful Hoài River My love lost in the pensive refrains.
Night of Hội An I find myself again, wandering about Lullabies of my cradle time Return me to the days long ago Oh, Hội An! Pagoda bridge stands contemplating for years Loving someone, Cửa Đợi Beach is still in waiting How I cherish the pensive refrain of the ancient town Oh, pensive refrains of Hội An. How I cherish the pensive refrain of the ancient town Oh, pensive refrains of Hội An.

You've just enjoyed the song "Pensive Refrain of Hội An," written by composer Trần Ái Nghĩa, with vocals by Thanh Trà and dance accompaniment by our vegan Association members. The song has received an award from the Vietnamese Composers' Association in 2003. "Pensive Refrain of Hội An" reminisces about the ancient town in Quảng Nam Province, central Âu Lạc.
Hội An was built in the 16th century and has remained mostly intact till this day. Hội An ancient town was recognized as a World Cultural Heritage by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1999. It is representative of a traditional Asian harbor town which has been perfectly preserved.
Âu Lạc, a beautiful country situated in Southeast Asia, with sub-tropical climate, is graced by Mother Nature with green plants and sweet fruits, all redolent and delectable throughout the four seasons. Depending on the weather conditions and culinary preferences of each region, the local people have skillfully created many savory dishes.
In our program about Aulacese traditional cuisine, we are pleased to introduce the specialty foods of a land known for its freshness and abundance. Indeed, at a public lecture in the United States in March 1991, Supreme Master Ching Hai especially praised the rich natural resources of Âu Lạc.
"Âu Lạc is among the most enriched nations in this world: there are mines of gold, silver, uranium, lead, zinc, and tin. Âu Lạc has everything. There are morals, piety, harmony, and four thousands years of civilization. It is one of the most ancient countries in the world. Our land has always had abundant foods and fruits.
I remember when I was a student there, there was a great variety of fruits when I went to Bình Dương and Long Thành. And rice! Aulacese indigenous rice, called Tám Thơm, is the most famous in Southeast Asia and in the world. There are also other products, dried or fresh, that are most popular in the world."
We are deeply grateful to Supreme Master Ching Hai for her treasured words and boundless grace for the nation and people of peace-loving Âu Lạc.
When the ancient town of Hội An in central Âu Lạc is mentioned, people would think of glistening colored lanterns; pensive, moss-covered houses where women in old-style dresses are concentrating in their work; and sidewalks, where silver-haired elders contemplating over a game of chess. Hội An, however, is not only attractive due to its romantic and legendary charm, but also known for its famous cuisine -- namely, cao lầu. We invite you to visit Hội An in today's program to find out more about this specialty food.
For you, dear!
Ah, beautiful kite! Thank you.
Oh, this mango is bruised already!
Have this good mango! I'll eat the other one.
I've asked many people in our native village, but until now, no one knows where brother Tân is.
It's so beautiful, honey!
Who knows when we will visit Hội An again? Just buy what you like, so you won't regret when you go home.
Lanterns have long become a cultural element that helps set the mood of Hội An Ancient Town. Lanterns have simple decoration, yet still appear elegant and attractive. Materials to make lanterns consist mainly of bamboo, brocade, and synthetic silk.
Bamboos to create lantern frames are aged bamboos soaked in saline water. To complete a lantern, the wood must be lathed
