Overview

Step into the ancient world of silk in Hoi An – once a thriving trade hub on the Silk Road. This immersive tour offers a full journey through sericulture, from feeding silkworms to weaving fabric, while honoring the legacy of both Vietnamese and Cham artisans.
You’ll visit traditional mulberry gardens, silkworm houses, unraveling workshops, and Cham weaving looms. Try your hand at feeding silkworms, boiling cocoons, and weaving silk — then distinguish between pure and synthetic silk in a fabric exhibition.
The experience ends with a meal featuring authentic Hoi An cuisine, and the chance to shop for high-quality, handmade silk products.
