At Kim Ngan communal house space (42-44 Hang Bac) is the project "Kim Ngan communal house storytelling space". The project uses the unique patterns of Kim Ngan communal house to build a synchronous identification system for the architecture, signs, display items... The space recreates the craft guild council, introduces traditional products such as jewelry, horn products, and displays the application of pattern research into tourism publications and gifts. This is an important step towards synchronizing the cultural heritage space in the old quarter.

On the evening of November 22, at Kim Ngan communal house, a heritage music performance program called "Old Quarter Music Stories" took place. The program was organized by the management board in coordination with the Dong Kinh Ancient Music group, bringing together many leading artists of traditional music.

On this year’s anniversary, the program will showcase the quintessence of Vietnamese traditional music in a space imbued with the atmosphere of the ancient town. Visitors will also experience printing ancient motifs with Thanh Lieu woodblocks and making souvenirs from traditional materials such as silk, wood, and Do paper.
