The Carpenter Quarter — Mộc Kim Bồng
📍 Làng Mộc Kim Bồng, Cẩm Kim, Hoi An
About this spot
Three kilometers from the Ancient Town, across the Thu Bồn River, the village of Kim Bồng has been making wooden furniture and boats for 500 years. No tourist buses come here. You can watch craftsmen shape wood by hand, visit workshops unchanged since the 17th century, and buy handmade chopsticks directly from the maker for less than a dollar.
🤫 Insider Tips
Rent a bicycle and cross the small bridge (not the tourist ferry). The main workshop street is 200m past the bridge on the left. Workshops open 7am–5pm. You can commission custom pieces — takes 2–3 days.
