Private air-conditioned vehicle
Modern car or minivan ensuring all transfers comfortably between the artisanal villages.

Around Hanoi, the Red River Delta harbors a centuries-old network of craft villages where ancestral techniques of extraordinary finesse have been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years.
This cultural immersion day introduces you to the ceramic masters of Bat Trang, the gold leaf beaters of Kieu Ky, and the traditional woodblock printmakers of Dong Ho, complemented by visits to the historic But Thap Pagoda and the dynastic sanctuary of Dinh Bang.
Greeting at your hotel in Hanoi by your French-speaking guide and departure around 8:30 AM in a private vehicle to explore the artisanal heritage of the delta. First stop at the renowned pottery village of Bat Trang, established on the banks of the Red River for more than seven centuries. Stroll through lanes lined with historic kilns and visit a family studio to observe throwing, shaping, and freehand brush painting on fine ceramics and celadon glazes.
Next, head to the village of Kieu Ky, the only village in Vietnam specializing in the ancient art of manual gold and silver leaf beating, used to gild Buddhist statues and royal lacquerware. Continue to Dong Ho, the birthplace of traditional woodblock folk prints made on sparkling oyster shell powder paper (giay diep), depicting classic motifs of good fortune, prosperity, and harmony.
On the return journey, visit the majestic But Thap Pagoda, a 17th-century architectural treasure famed for its Bao Nghiem stone tower and its thousand-armed, thousand-eyed statue of Quan Am. Conclude with the historic communal house of Dinh Bang and the Do Temple sanctuary, a revered memorial dedicated to the eight sovereigns of the Ly dynasty (1009-1225).
Return to your hotel in Hanoi in the late afternoon.
Travel Log
Selected moments to experience the landscapes, encounters, and rhythm of this itinerary.

Originaire de Nam Dinh, berceau de traditions au cœur du delta du fleuve Rouge, j’ai grandi avec un amour viscéral pour le Vietnam : pour la poésie de ses paysages — des pitons karstiques du Nord aux méandres fertiles du Mékong —, mais surtout pour l’infinie bonté, le sourire et la résilience de son peuple.
Du souffle majestueux des pitons calcaires du Tonkin à la douceur nonchalante des arroyos du Mékong, le Vietnam est une terre de contrastes poétiques. Mon bonheur est de vous ouvrir les portes de nos adresses confidentielles et de dessiner pour vous un itinéraire fluide, vivant et profondément humain.
