Ha Lien Ancient Village

About this location

Ha Lien Ancient Village - A rural setting amidst Nha Phu Lagoon Ha Lien Village, now Ha Lien Residential Quarter, Hoa Thang Ward, Khanh Hoa Province, is located at the Dinh River estuary, bordering Nha Phu Lagoon and near Hon Heo Mountain. Formed in 1653, the village is tied to the history of settlers reclaiming land and establishing communities in the Ninh Hòa region. Spatially, Ha Lien stands out for its isolated location amidst aquaculture farming areas. The single access road leading into the village, aquaculture ponds, mangrove forests, and boat mooring areas create the characteristic landscape structure of a lagoon-side community. Within the village, there are a communal house, the Nam Hai Whale Temple, various shrines, Hue Lien Pagoda, and a cluster of closely positioned residential houses. The historical value of Ha Lien is also linked to revolutionary activities during the 1945–1965 period. These characteristics provide a solid basis for utilizing the location for historical documentaries, community cultural films, and works recreating rural life, provided there is appropriate preparation for period costumes and set design.
