With the desire to tell the story of Hội An culture through sculptures using wood material from driftwood, Hội An city designed and invited artisan Lê Ngọc Thuận to process artwork, wooden chairs, lantern poles,… as well as transported all products from Hội An to Germany for installation and arrangement. The design idea of Hội An is to use the image of the Hoài river combined with Hội An door eyes as the main shaping element. The Hoài river flows through the ancient town and connects to the Cù Lao Chàm World Biosphere Reserve, showing the unique values of Hội An's land, people and nature, at the same time, showing the journey of regenerating the driftwood to tell the story of the Hội An culture. Artisans arranged artistic sculptures made of wood along the banks and on the Hoài river, as well as the door eyes' pattern, which is one of the typical architectural features in the ancient town and the "soul of Hội An town". All of them are combined in a unified whole called Hội An Garden. Along with the decoration inside the Garden are handicraft products such as lanterns, driftwood sculptures, lawns, green trees, etc. Hội An Garden also shows the message "Hội An - A green tourism destination", which is the city's sustainable development strategy.
