A river wind moves through the rice paddies as cyclists roll off Hoi An's busy streets and onto narrow village lanes. The tour opens with a soft rhythm—pedal, pass a water buffalo, wave to children at a riverside school—until the neat workshops of Kim Bong Village appear, their cedar shavings drifting like confetti.
