Silk Village

The Hoi An Silk Village, officially opened in August 2012, is based on the ancient silk weaving traditions of Quang Nam province that used Hoi An as a commercial seaport for over 300 years.

Located down the street from Hoi An's town center, the Silk Village offers an experience like no other. During the tour you'll learn about the entire production of silk from silkworm to dress.

Leisurely stroll through the lush garden of mulberry trees as our expert guides teach you about the history of Quang Nam and the silk making process. Additionally, visitors will be shown the life cycle of silkworms in action!  Visitors can help harvest mulberry leaves, feed silkworms and even watch as silkworms weave their cocoons. Guests will then be shown how cocoons are transformed into silk thread and how the silk is treated and refined to become ready for clothing.  And of course, visitors will end the tour in our silk showroom where they'll receive a hands-on tutorial on deciphering between true and synthetic silk.
