#winhkflight Mekong Island, locally known as Koh Dach, is where you can head to if you wish to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the Cambodian capital. About 15 km north of the city centre, Koh Dach offers a world of peace and tranquillity, bounded by views of rice paddies, vegetable farms and fruit orchards. This 10-hectare island is also known as one of the prominent centres of traditional handicrafts in Cambodia, with artisans engaged in silk weaving, pottery, woodcarving and dyeing in its villages. One of the not-to-miss communes of the island is the country’s silk weaving centre, as there are thousands of silk weavers producing quality silk under their stilted houses. For a fun experience, be sure to try to weave silk on spinning wheels made using bicycle parts, in addition to buying silk fabric directly from producers. I want to travel to Hong Kong to explore the local craft and art!
