Kim Bồng woodworking village has been a center of fine carpentry for over 600 years, with skills passed down through generations. Visitors can wander through workshops where artisans carve ornate furniture, statues, and decorative panels using traditional hand tools. The distinctive feature is the village's specialization in inlaid mother-of-pearl and detailed relief work. You'll see raw logs become finished masterpieces, and can purchase unique souvenirs directly from the craftspeople. The village offers a peaceful escape from Hội An's busy streets.
