TRADITIONAL VILLAGE AND PAGODA

Posted by vietnamtravelnow on March 26, 2008

Regarded as a cradle of Vietnams culture - The Red River delta is best known for its handicraft villages and traditional seasonal festivals. We offer you the unique opportunity to see the real rural life of Vietnamese peasants living in these handicraft villages. This tour is also interesting for those who are interested in Buddies philosophy.

 

PRG - 1 (Half day) :

BAT TRANG : 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 (6 hours) : VAN PHUC, a silk village is a great place to silk cloth being produced on the loom .There is a showroom where you can buy silk by the meter, much more exciting that buying it in the shops! Continue to visit TRAM pagoda & TRAM GIAN pagodas.

 

PRG - 3 : BAT TRANG - an old pottery village, DONG HO - a painting village, here they make ‘Giay do’ paper and paint them with traditional designs. All of paper is made by hand and some, still in the traditional way with all natural products. BUT THAP pagoda, DONG KY - carpentry village. Here they made furniture inlaid with mother of pearl and finished off with layer of clear lacquer. In laying the mother of pearl is highly labour intensive, see how it is delicately sawed info fine fish-bone sliver and paints takingly set into wood.

 

PRG - 4 : THAY (master pagoda) & TAY PHUONG pagoda.
