Hoi An has long been a charming destination for both domestic and international visitors. But Hoi An is not only about the ancient town, lanterns, mossy streets, and old cafés. The true beauty of this land is hidden in something more simple and profound, the traditional craft villages, where time seems to stop to preserve craftsmanship, culture, and the local spirit through hundreds of years.

If the ancient town is where you admire the outer beauty, then the craft villages of Hoi An area where you can feel it with all your heart. Every step here is a journey back to simplicity, where people live slowly, work with their hands, and keep the inherited values with deep pride.

Why should you experience the Traditional craft villages of Hoi An?

Hoi An is home to long-standing traditional villages such as Kim Bong carpentry, Cam Kim mat weaving, Thanh Ha pottery, and Phuoc Kieu bronze casting. These villages are not merely places that produce handicraft items, but also living spaces, stories and the soul of an entire community.

Visiting the traditional craft villages not only helps you discover a part of the local culture but is also an opportunity to:

• Meet sincere artisans who have devoted their whole lives to their crafts, passing on techniques and spirit to the next generation;
• Experience handicrafts with your own hands, you can try wood carving, mat weaving, or pottery making. You are no longer just an observer but become part of the process that creates a traditional product;
• Connect deeply with the land and local people. You will hear stories where each product carries the history and pride of the craft villages.

Unlike visiting crowded tourist attractions, a visit to the craft villages will leave you with calm and lingering emotions, a kind of “spiritual gift” that no souvenir can replace.
