Itinerary

7:45 - 8:15: Pick up at Old Quarter by tour guide. Begin your adventure in Ha Thai village, renowned for its lacquerware production since the 17th century. Meet a celebrated local artisan who will introduce you to this traditional art form. Under their expert guidance, you'll have the opportunity to create your own lacquer painting as a unique souvenir

Next, journey to the 300-year-old Chuong village, famous for its conical hat making. Wander through the village and, depending on availability, either visit a war veteran to hear personal stories from the Vietnam War or meet other local artisans to learn about their daily lives.

Enjoy a delicious home-cooked lunch prepared by a local female artisan, immersing yourself in authentic Vietnamese hospitality. After lunch, try your hand at painting your own hat or join in the hat-making process with guidance from skilled craftspeople.

Complete your artisanal tour at the vibrant Quang Phu Cau incense village. Walk through the village center to observe family-scale incense production. Visit a household specializing in dyeing incense sticks and capture stunning photos of colorful incense bundles.
