Tour Itinerary - Cultural Heritage at Its Finest

08:00 AM - Our VTS guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel in Hanoi and begin the scenic drive to Bat Trang Ceramic Village, located approximately 15 km from the city center along the Red River’s left bank.

Stop 1: Bat Trang Ceramic Village - Vietnam’s Pottery Legacy

Famed for its over 700-year history of pottery making, Bat Trang is Vietnam’s most iconic and longest-standing ceramic village. Explore the village’s narrow alleyways and visit local workshops where talented artisans shape, paint, glaze, and fire ceramic products using age-old techniques.

Watch the full ceramic-making process, from clay forming to final glazing.

Visit local family kilns and have a chance to try your hand at pottery on a traditional wheel (optional).

Shop for handcrafted ceramic souvenirs - everything from bowls and teapots to elaborate vases and statues.

Stop 2: Dong Ky Carpentry Village - Wood Carving Mastery

After lunch, continue your journey to Dong Ky Village, located about 15 km northeast of Hanoi. Once known for its firecracker festival, Dong Ky has since become one of the most renowned traditional wood carving villages in Vietnam.

Explore the village workshops and see highly skilled carpenters handcrafting furniture from rare woods, inlaid with intricate mother-of-pearl and snail shell designs.

Learn how furniture is custom-made and exported around the world.
