After about one hour of driving through the countryside of Cu Chi, we will visit one family in the Rice Paper Village. Here you can observe the local life of the villagers, watch the crafting of the ricer papers, and even try the work on your own. We will taste some fresh rice papers, which is much more delicious than the ones you can find in the supermarkets.
