"The secret" around the neck well
While some types of relics such as ancient temples, pagodas, bridges, villages, temples, ancient tombs ... well as an integral part of cultural heritage objects Hoi An, contribute to the characteristic for the old town.Most wells in Hoi An ancient distribution in the north bank of the De Vong River (village 5, 6 Cam Thanh village and block 4, Ward Thanh Ha). Location of the river wells usually 50 to 150 m, several wells to the river only 5 -10 m.If as in coastal areas, wells located in the popular residential wells and round the old town appeared in several wells on square or round the square. We are in the religious relics such as Assembly Hall, the temples, temples of Huong Hoa Minh, Hoa Five Bang.According TTBTDT Hoi An, where wells exist three basic types: the circle (63%), square (17%), on the square circle (15%), the few remaining shapes .
The wells in Hoi An ancient building dating heterogeneous, formed at many different times. Some researchers suggest that the type of wells below the square and the square is a well rounded Cham, was built in XV century. When the Vietnamese residents continue to use to serve your needs. Others are the U.S. and Vietnamese technical legacy of Cham people that built.While there are many different styles, but all the wells have the same characteristics in that building is a square wooden frame (Ironwood) in under a brick, always submerged in water. Wood frame important role in ensuring the well's life, keeping a stable and long term well being subsidence (because the soil here is mainly sand). City wells are the bricks are stacked, no mortar adhesive to create openings in the ground water flow into the well to maintain the well's water level is always high. In particular, these wells are on the altar for worship.
Mr. Nguyen Chi Trung, director TTBTDT Hoi said: "This is a spiritual element of the town residents. They conceived that each of the wells have a god of protection should be in a cool new water source year round. "
Phu old wells
Shares in a cool well water is "specialty" of the ancient town of Hoi An. In addition, well water can be considered to share a "special form of specialty." The salty water near it, but always cool water wells naturally sweet Ancient, water is always high and stable even on prolonged drought.Nguyen Thi Dew (77 years), living next to the ancient Ba Le well said: The longer the war against France and America, the West when the soldier came to Hoi An ancient use only well water for daily life. They hire people to carry water for use. Rent training for well water may originate from there.There is an interesting thing is that all the specialties of the old town as Cao Lau, Quang Noodle ... to the food, beverage retired people like rice, porridge, coffee, tea ... all use well water for processing this stock .
Well tourists as people are taking water
Anh Tran Trung Tip (47, 17 in the village of Ben Tre, Cam Ha and Hoi An), who carry more than 10 wells have been hired this year, said his past as a guard for the hotel, after that leased lines carrying well water stable, high income should skip work since then.

On average, each carrying his 60-70 a barrel (20 gallons / barrel), depending on the distance near that of a barrel of money the tenant pays him from two to five thousand dollars. Out, except for the cost of gasoline, every day his income is not less than 150,000 VND.His clients are owners of restaurants, hotels and so many people. Especially on hot days or saline water, he "ran numbers" NEVER-ENDING.
Not only his family Tip, Ba Le well, and some other ancient wells in Hoi An is also the livelihoods of hundreds of households renting the other shoulder. Ms. Duong Thi Thuong (residing in the fourth, Cam Pho) have 20 jobs burden of rent, the family is better off today thanks to the training burden and the country.
