Van Phuc Village - Son Dong Village - Thach Xa Village (L)
Start your day at 8:30 AM in Hanoi by exploring the Van Phuc silk village, known as "the oldest well-preserved silk weaving village". Immerse yourself in the silk-making process, from sericulture to dyeing, through its various stages.
 
Next, discover the village of Son Dong (Làng nghề Sơn Đồng), famous for its sculptors specializing in traditional statues and cults. Admire the exquisite techniques of lacquer and gilding, an ancient tradition dating back hundreds of years, even during the French colonial period when many craftsmen were recognized by the state.
 
After lunch at a local restaurant, explore Thach Xa village, where craftsmen use bamboo, a symbol of the Vietnamese village, to create unique dragonflies capable of balancing anywhere. Learn about the ingenious balancing principle of the dragonfly, based on three points: the beak, the wings, and the tail.
In the late afternoon, return to your hotel in Hanoi, enriched with new discoveries and a day full of enriching experiences.
