Over 600 years of history have been preserved in the community. The woodwork has long been a symbol of Hoi An tourism. The rustic aspect of the items in Kim Bong carpentry village sets it apart most from other conventional villages. They still maintain their natural wood color even after being painted or polished. The carpentry technique known as Kim Bong is a wonderful synthesis of the Cham Kingdom, Japan, China, and the skilled hands of Vietnamese artisans.

The sounds of chiseling, drilling, and chopping can be heard from both sides of the Thu Bon River as soon as visitors set foot on this property. The sound has become an indispensable part of the life of Kim Bong.
