Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Hoi An Silk Village, 28 Nguyen Tat Thanh Street, Hoi An 560000 Vietnam
Located only about a kilometer away from Hoi An Ancient Town's bustling center, the Hoi An Silk Village breathes new life into the 300 year-old history of the Maritime Silk Road. The Village is surrounded by verdant mulberry gardens, lotus ponds and horticulture farms. Paths wind through the gardens and ancient houses, built in typical Quang Nam architecture, providing a serene atmosphere that carries you to the days of old. The Village employs a dozen artisans that manufacture and weave silk into various garments and tapestries using ancient looms. Beyond discovering the ancient silk manufacturing process, visitors are also welcome to enjoy our restaurant and tailor showroom.
Once the “silk hub” of Quang Nam Province, the Hoi An silk industry employed thousands of Quang Nam residents and sent its products across the “silk sea road” to Europe and Asia. The Hoi An Silk Village was once home to dozens of artisan craftsmen that worked in the production, manufacturing and weaving of silk products using solely silkworms. However, the Village became unprofitable and closed almost 100 years ago because of competition and declining interest in artisan silk products. The Hoi An Silk Village seeks to revive this part of Hoi An’s history by working with the tourism industry and promoting the artisan process and silk products of the ancient village.
