around Hoi An, we often remind first-time visitors that walking only inside the Ancient Town is not enough to feel the peaceful, beautiful side of Hoi An. Most guests choose 3\u20134 craft or countryside stops depending on their time. The most practical route usually includes a vegetable village such as Tra Que or Thanh Dong, Thanh Ha Pottery Village and Kim Bong Carpentry Village. Lantern making and Hoi An Silk Village are also popular with foreign guests, while Triem Tay in Cam Kim is better for quieter local experiences such as mat weaving and b\u00e1nh tr\u00e1ng rice-paper making.<\/p>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <nav class=\"mvt-toc\" aria-label=\"Table of contents\">\n    <p class=\"mvt-toc-title\">In this guide<\/p>\n    <ol>\n      <li><a href=\"#quick-compare\">Quick comparison: which village should you visit?<\/a><\/li>\n      <li><a href=\"#thanh-ha\">Thanh Ha Pottery Village<\/a><\/li>\n      <li><a href=\"#kim-bong\">Kim Bong Carpentry Village<\/a><\/li>\n      <li><a href=\"#tra-que\">Tra Que Vegetable Village<\/a><\/li>\n      <li><a href=\"#phuoc-kieu\">Phuoc Kieu Bronze Casting Village<\/a><\/li>\n      <li><a href=\"#triem-tay\">Triem Tay, Cam Kim mat weaving &#038; b\u00e1nh tr\u00e1ng making<\/a><\/li>\n      <li><a href=\"#silk-lantern\">Hoi An Silk &#038; Lantern Making<\/a><\/li>\n      <li><a href=\"#routes\">Suggested craft village routes<\/a><\/li>\n      <li><a href=\"#transport\">How to visit the craft villages<\/a><\/li>\n      <li><a href=\"#faq\">Frequently asked questions<\/a><\/li>\n    <\/ol>\n  <\/nav>\n\n  <section id=\"quick-compare\" class=\"mvt-section\">\n    <h2>Quick comparison: which Hoi An craft village should you visit?<\/h2>\n    <p>Not every craft village feels the same.
