Hainan Assembly Hall is a modest but historically significant Chinese congregation hall on Tran Phu Street. Built as a memorial, it commemorates 108 Hainan merchants who were wrongly accused of piracy and executed by the Vietnamese emperor in 1851.
In 1851, Emperor Tu Duc's navy captured and killed 108 Hainan traders, mistaking their cargo ships for pirate vessels. The Hainan community in Hoi An built this hall in 1875 as a memorial. It remains an active place of remembrance.
