1 Reviews
Kim Bong is famous for its craftsmanship. The ancestors of people in this area were responsible for much of the original architecture in Old Hội An. The traditional skills flourish today as new generations still build houses, temples and boats. We offer you the chance to explore traditional craftsmanship in a natural setting in a special ecotourist collective. Here you will learn about and have the chance to partake in traditional crafts from boat building and repairing, woodwork and carving, rice noodle making, straw mat weaving and basket boat making. You will also visit the ancient relic temple and the communal worship house.
