ITINERARY PRG-1: Bat Trang Village
Pick up at hotel and transfer to the riverside village of Bat Trang Village, where distinctive ceramics are made and used throughout the delta region for over 500 years. The vitality of this village is still blown up by the hundreds of pottery kilns on fire day and night. We stroll around various cottage industries and watch craftsmen forming, painting and glazing their products in traditional ways. The trip ends after arrival in Hanoi.
PRG-2: Van Phuc, a silk village, is a great place to see silk cloth being produced on the loom. There is a showroom where you can buy silk by the meter, which is much more exciting than buying it in the shops! Continue to visit Tram pagoda & Tram gian pagodas.
PRG-3: Bat Trang – an old pottery village, and Dong Ho – a painting village, are where they make “Giay do‟ paper and paint them with traditional designs. All of the paper is made by hand and some of it is still made in the raditional way with all natural products. But Thap pagoda, Dong Ky – carpentry village is where they make furniture inlaid with mother of pearl and finish it off with a layer of clear lacquer. Laying the mother of pearl is highly labor intensive, and you’ll be able to see how it is delicately sawed into fine fish-bone slivers and painstakingly set into wood.
