Cam Kim Iron Bridge
The Cam Kim Iron Bridge is a long, narrow metal structure that serves as a vital link for motorbikes and pedestrians traveling between the ancient town of Hoi An and the rural crafts of Cam Kim Island. Spanning the Thu Bon River, the bridge offers travelers a scenic, breezy crossing that transitions from the bustling tourist center to the peaceful, traditional atmosphere of the local countryside.

Rice fields
Vietnam is the second largest rice producer in the world. Hoi An, particularly Cam Kim Island, lies within the fertile delta of Thu Bon River, therefore visitors can see rice fields. Of course, have a stop to take some photos and learn about Vietnamese rice growing culture. See more details about Hoi An’s rice fields
Mat weaving
Continue riding through rural villages and visit a local family making traditional sedge mats. This craft is also one of the main local industries in Cam Kim Island, Hoi An. Our guide will help you to communicate with artisans and interact with them to know better their life. Later, you have the chance to try your hand at making the mats by colorful sedges.

Cau mang Duy Phuoc (aqueduct)
Located about 5 kilometers from Hoi An, the Duy Phuoc Bridge is a narrow, rustic concrete aqueduct that has become a hidden gem for travelers seeking a peaceful countryside escape. Stretching straight across the quiet water without guardrails, this rustic bridge is perfect for a scenic bicycle or motorbike ride away from the bustling ancient town.
Old brick kiln cafe
This uniquely repurposed, weathered brick kiln stands completely isolated as a rustic monument in the middle of a sweeping rice paddy. An elegant, winding bamboo walkway stretches across the crops, connecting the cafe area directly to the historic structure for the perfect photo backdrop. It is an incredibly scenic spot to sit back, sip a cold drink, and watch the breeze ripple through the seasonal fields. See more details
Rice paper making
Visit a local family whose members have made rice papers and rice noodles for some decades. One of them will show you the process to make the rice paper by rice milk and then you have the chance to try your hand at making your own rice papers. After that, the artisan shows the way to make the noodles from fresh rice papers and then the rice noodles. See more details
Rice rice and noodles making is one of main local industries in Cam Kim Island.
Try local foods at local home
Sit back, relax and try two dishes made by rice paper and noodle from the family:
– Mi quang (noodle): a quintessential Central Vietnamese noodle dish featuring thick rice noodles tinted yellow with turmeric, tossed in a shallow, intense broth with proteins like pork, shrimp, or chicken, and topped with crisp rice crackers and a mountain of fresh herbs. See more details
– Banh dap (‘smashed rice paper’): a rustic, local street food consisting of a soft, steamed rice noodle sheet sandwiched between two crispy baked rice crackers, which you smash together on the table before dipping into a pungent, savory fermented anchovy dipping sauce. See more details
