Explore the countryside of Hanoi and the traditional arts and crafts of Vietnam on this day trip to Bat Trang Pottery and Dong Ho Painting villages.
Your driver will pick you up at your hotel in the morning and will hit the road to the 500 years old Bat Trang Pottery village. Upon arrival, enjoy the fascinating views of all pottery and ceramic showrooms scattered all over the village. Stop at a small family factory to see how they manufacture their products. Watch the artisans form, paint, and glaze their products and take your chance to practice your talent with wet clay and a mound.
After lunch in a local restaurant, you'll head to Dong Ho village known for its 300-year-old woodblock folk paintings produced on ‘dzo' tree bark paper. Today, there are only a handful of families who are keeping the tradition alive. Visit the home of an elder craftsman and his family and learn about their efforts in preserving this soulful art form.
