Kim Bong Carpentry
History of Kim Bong Carpentry Village
They all were the skillful woodworkers leaving their hometown and wandering to make ends meet in the 15th century. At first, only a few woodworkers could manage and sustain their daily lives.
Gradually, in addition to conventional cottages, and bamboo houses, they commenced making household appliances, vehicles, such as boats and ships, which fostered them to improve the living standard.
It is rumored that Kim Bong carpentry ancestors were originated from the groups of people living along the Northern Delta, and the North Central region.
Since the end of the 16th century, with the development of the ancient city – Hoi An, Kim Bong Carpentry also has become a commercial international port, with shifts in economics and culture.
