Da Nang & Hoi An tour overview
Why this trip
- Three Hoi An villages that still make things the old way, visited by bicycle with a local guide.
- At Thanh Ha you try the potter's wheel after seeing the village temples and small museum.
- Across the river at Kim Bong, the carpenters and wood carvers are working in open workshops.
- At Tra Que you put on a farmer's shirt, work a vegetable bed, and then sit down to lunch.
An honest note: the bike rides are short and flat, but the midday sun is strong and there is little shade on the farm roads. The workshops are working businesses, so you may be offered things to buy.
