More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning light sketches palms and rice paddies as you pedal out of Hoi An toward the Silk Village. The traffic thins, a lane narrows, and a courtyard opens where mulberry trees shade low benches; the air smells faintly of steamed leaves and hot dye. Guides lead small groups from silkworm trays to wooden looms, and the day is a steady loop of observation and participation—feeding larvae, watching cocoons unspool into thread, then seeing the thread transformed on shuttle looms.
