VinWonders Nam Hội An

About this audio guide

This guide to VinWonders Nam Hoi An looks past the roller coasters and safari to a corner called the Island of Folk Cultures, a stitched-together village of northern, central, and southern Vietnamese traditions. You'll hear how the park hired people who still know real regional trades, papermaking, woodblock printing, mask-making, pottery, and put that knowledge to work a few steps from a drop tower and a wave pool. The guide follows what it means for a craftsperson to clock in for a shift of wet pulp and wet clay, doing for a passing visitor the work a household here once did out of necessity. Stand at the workshop windows to watch the paper come up dripping from the frame.
