Tour Kim Bong carpentry village
The village craft centre and workshops showcases craft items and
the painstaking process by which they are produced, using
specialist tools and techniques that have been passed down since
the 15th century - when Hoi An flourished as a major sea port.
 The workshops
today make hand crafted furniture and sculptures as well as a
range of tempting souvenirs, some of which are exported a field
as Europe and North America. Kim Bong craftsmen made a vital
contribution to the recent restoration of historic buildings
after Hoi An was declared a World Heritage Site in 1999.
Moreover, they have been encouraged and rewarded by UNESCO for
their preservation efforts.
You will be picked up & taken on a boat trip on Hoi An River to
visit Kim Bong carpentry village.
You will visit Mr. Huynh Ry's home and ship-building yard. Then
take a bicycle tour to explore Tien Hien temple, Kim Buu pagoda,
Phan homestead - a former French-styled constructed house,
paddy-field, Huynh family's temple, village school, coracle
boats, mat weaving, & bamboo bridge. You will witness the local
games played by children - marbles, skipping, hop, Chinese
chess, ong lang, & co ganh. You will enjoy snacking on corn,
cassava, sweet potato, as well as local season fruits such as
watermelon & pineapple. From here it is back to the wharf with
