Embrace the peaceful and ancient charm, Loc Yen ancient village (Tien Canh commune, Tien Phuoc district) is emerging as a popular tourist destination in Quang Nam.

Loc Yen ancient village was established in the 15^th-16th centuries. The houses here share similar architecture: wooden structures, stone alleys, tea hedges, and lush fruit gardens. Currently, there are eight ancient houses over 150 years old under preservation in Loc Yen. Some of them have been passed down through seven generations, where descendants continue to live in harmony and peace. Most of the houses are built with their backs against the mountains and their fronts facing vast rice fields. In 2019, Loc Yen ancient village was recognized as a National Heritage Site by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and honored as one of the four most beautiful ancient villages in Vietnam.

Among the eight wooden ancient houses, two belong to an 85-year-old man, Mr. Dong Viet Mao, which remain in their original state and are the oldest. Inside the ancestral worship house are intricately inlaid and carved cabinets. Noticeable is the five-compartment jackfruit wood house, built with 36 wooden pillars and decorated with traditional motifs.

Visiting Loc Yen ancient village, tourists can explore narrow stone paths, only about one meter wide, winding through rice fields and lined with rows of tall areca palm trees. These paths connect one house to another, serving as a beautiful testament to the close-knit village community of old times.

Although it spans only about 280 hectares, Loc Yen ancient village is home to many stunning landscapes. These include terraced rice fields nestled among rolling hills, ancient wells, and banyan trees reminiscent of northern Vietnam. Visitors can also enjoy seasonal tropical fruits such as langsat, mulberries, mangosteen, and durian.

In recent years, the local government has supported residents in developing garden and farm economies associated with rural ecotourism. Every year in early March, various traditional village festivals are held, attracting a large number of locals and visitors.
