Itinerary
We will pick you up at the hotel for an hour-long car ride heading northeast of Ha Noi, along the left bank of the Red River, to Bat Trang Village. Known for its beautiful ceramics, the village is surrounded by fertile farmland and filled with shops selling ancient and modern ceramics. This booming trade not only preserves traditional crafts but also supports the local economy.
During your visit, you will have the chance to chat with local artisans and observe them at work. You can even try your hand at the craft by sitting behind a potter’s wheel, learning how they create ceramic vases and other masterpieces. The process of making these ceramics involves many steps, including choosing the clay, drawing designs, mixing additives, forming shapes, and firing in kilns. It’s meticulous work, requiring the skill and dedication of hard-working artisans. Feel free to take photos with the craftsmen and purchase handmade ceramic gifts for your relatives or friends. This experience offers a deeper insight into the craft village and its people, allowing you to appreciate the rich heritage of Bat Trang.

About Hanoi
Hanoi, Vietnam's capital, mixes lakeside temples, French colonial boulevards and an Old Quarter where street food and scooters fill every lane.
The Old Quarter's narrow streets, each once devoted to a single trade, sit just north of Hoan Kiem Lake, where the red Huc Bridge leads to the Temple of the Jade Mountain. Wander at dawn to see tai chi by the water, or after dark when the pavements fill with food stalls and low plastic stools.
Top-ranked sights in Hanoi: Ha Long Bay, Hanoi Old Quarter, Long Bien Bridge (Cau Long Bien).
