FULL ITINERARY
In the morning, your guide and driver will pick you up at cruise port to start our Nha Trang shore excursion. Our first stop will give you a glimpse into Vietnamese culture at a hand embroidery workshop, where you'll witness firsthand the skillful hands distributing colors on silk to create harmonious embroidery pictures. You'll even have the opportunity to try it yourself. Next on our tour is the Inspirational Pagoda School, home to homeless children cared for by Buddhist nuns and monks. Here, you'll experience their way of life and learn more about Buddhism in Vietnam, set against the backdrop of a beautiful 68-meter-high Amitabha Buddha Statue.
Continue, we'll visit a Rice paper-making village, offering insights into the country's wet rice farming industry. You'll see how rice is ground into fine powder, mixed, and poured onto steamed hot cloth, covered, and ready within minutes. Our next destination is a Conical Hat-making house, where you'll marvel at the skilled craftsmanship of Vietnamese women engaged in manual work. These hats, a typical and practical Vietnamese item, make excellent gifts.
Finally, we'll take you to Dam Market for shopping, where you can purchase local gifts for your friends and family. At the end of the day, we'll transfer you back to the port, concluding our Nha Trang shore excursions. We hope you've had a wonderful time and made lasting memories with us. Thanks for traveling with Shore Excursions Asia!
