Ontdekking van zijde weven in Hoi An Silk Village

Such a unique experience! You start with a welcome drink and then learn about the entire silk-making process. We saw silkworms at different stages and sizes, touched their cocoons and learned about their life cycle and how they are fed. We even got to cut mulberry leaves for them using a traditional tool. The best part is how hands-on the tour is. We tried extracting silk threads from cocoons, operating different machines, winding silk onto wooden spools and even weaving fabric. We could also touch different types of silk and learn why some are softer or thicker than others. The most fascinating was an incredibly complicated traditional weaving machine used to create colourful patterns, which we also got to try! The equipment seems to be there mainly for demonstrations rather than actual production, but that didn’t take away from the experience. The only downside was that our guide’s English was difficult to understand. Overall, very immersive, educational and fun!

Ik heb een geweldige tour gehad en een briljante uitleg over zijderupsen en de hele cyclus. Ik vond het geweldig om te worden verwelkomd met een moerbeidrankje en een exclusieve chauffeur. Het was ook geweldig om meer te leren over de Vietnamese en Chinese geschiedenis, spiritualiteit en tijdlijn. De details van de structuren en het kunnen aanraken en werken binnen het hele proces was zo'n rijke ervaring. Ik raad deze tour aan iedereen aan en het eten was uitzonderlijk. Ik heb het totale pakket gekregen en ik ben zo blij dat ik het gedaan heb. Ik kan niet wachten om mijn op maat gemaakte traditionele Vietnamese zijden Ao Dai jurk te krijgen. Iedereen was zo aardig en gastvrij en ik heb een solotour gedaan. Sterk aanbevolen. Ik weet nu ook het verschil tussen echte zijde, zijde-katoenmix en synthetisch.

A wonderful silk village experience! 🥰 We had such a great time! It was really interesting to learn about the traditional silk-making process and even have the opportunity to try it ourselves. The girls were so friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. They answered all our questions with a smile and made the whole experience very enjoyable. They also took beautiful photos and videos of us, which was such a lovely bonus and a wonderful memory to take home. ❤️ Highly recommended! A fun, interesting and very authentic experience. 🐛🧵🌿

Enjoyed our experience throughout. Special thanks to Thu, our guide who was patient and knowledgeable. We learnt alot about silk, from how silkworms are bred to the weaving process. Happy that we could have hands on experience also, that was fun!
