Detail Itinerary
Leave Hanoi travelling south to Duyen Thai
lacquer village where the whole process of
lacquer production can be seen from start to
finish. Alternatively visit Dong Ho traditional
paper village, where ‘giay do’ paper is produced
and painted with traditional designs. All the
paper is made by hand and some still in the
traditional method using only natural products.
Van Phuc silk village is a great place to see
silk cloth being produced in the traditional way
on the loom. The families here have been
producing fabrics for centuries and there is a
showroom where silk is sold by the metre. Return
to Hanoi for lunch and in the afternoon continue
to Dong Ky wood Village. Here furniture inlaid
with mother of pearl and finished off with a
layer of clear lacquer is made. Inlaying the
mother of pearl is highly labour intensive as it
is carefully sawn into fine fish-bone slivers
and painstakingly set into wood. Return to Hanoi
in the late afternoon.
