Traditional Villages and Craft Heritage of Huế
8:00 AM: Your driver and tour guide will pick you up from the hotel to begin the tour.
8:30 AM: Visit Sinh Village, known for its folk painting craft. Travellers can chat with artisan Ky Huu Phuoc and hear his story of "digging tunnels to paint during the resistance war."
9:30 AM: Continue to Thanh Tien Paper Flower Village in Phu Mau Commune, Huế City, where you will learn about the village's history. The experience includes guidance on dyeing, paper folding, and creating flower petals, followed by a hands-on opportunity to complete a flower.
11:00 AM - 1:00 PM: Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant. Then continue to Bao Vinh Old Town, where the gentle Dong Ba River nestles the village. Amid the ancient village, the sound of anvils and hammers still echoes. Local people began by making simple products such as ploughs, hammers, spades, knives, and sickles to serve agricultural production.
2:00 PM: Proceed to Đia Linh Village, where the traditional craft of moulding Ong Tao statues has been practised for generations. Ong Tao statues are a traditional product that embodies the desire for renewal and good luck. At the beginning of the lunar new year, Vietnamese people place these statues to brighten the family altar and kitchen, a beautiful custom that should be preserved and widely passed on.
4:00 PM: Return to the hotel and end the tour with good impressions. Thank you, and see you again.
