Detail Itinerary
Take a boat trip on Thu Bon River to visit Thanh
Ha & Kim Bong handicraft Villages. We have the
opportunity to discover the local people’s daily
activities during the excursion.
Thanh Ha pottery village
In the 16th and 17th century Thanh Ha was a
thriving village. It was famous for earthenware
that sold in many provinces in Central Vietnam.
It was Thanh Ha villagers who made and provided
bricks, roof and floor bricks for old building
in Hoian and the surrounding areas.
Thanh Ha pottery villagers are doing the same
work in the same way that their forefathers did
in the past. In their clever and skillful hands,
clay turn to pretty flower vases, tea pots,
piggy banks, wine bottles, water jars, kettles,
cooking pots or lovely birds, turtles,
buffaloes, cats, ducks, etc.
Nowadays many old buildings in Hoian need
repairing and restoring and Thanh Ha villagers
are the only trusted contractors that can
provide standardized bricks, roof and floor
bricks exactly like those during the time when
Hoian port town prospered.
Kim Bong village
The village was well known for its carpentry.
Most of Hoian old town's architecture was made
by their ancestors' from the heyday of Hoian as
a commercial port. The technique of Kim Bong
carpenters is exceptional. Their work on the
head of columns, rafters, pillars, altars,
tables, chairs and beds are masterpieces that
anyone would admire and give praise to when they
see it. The Kim Bong carpenters still keep their
traditional alive. Many of them turn to make
fishing boats for fishermen all over Central
Vietnam. Many are eager to repair and restore
old building in town or made wooden statues,
wood carved articles and traditional furniture
to be sold and exported.
