You start on a warm Hoi An morning, pedals clicking as the town recedes and a river-tinted light opens over low, thatched roofs. The guide leads you first to Thanh Ha Pottery Village, where kiln smoke still scents the air and clay spins under practiced hands. Clay and river meet here—the Red River delta’s soils and local sand give the pottery its weight and tone.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

You start on a warm Hoi An morning, pedals clicking as the town recedes and a river-tinted light opens over low, thatched roofs. The guide leads you first to Thanh Ha Pottery Village, where kiln smoke still scents the air and clay spins under practiced hands. Clay and river meet here—the Red River delta’s soils and local sand give the pottery its weight and tone.
From there the route slips along the Thu Bon’s edges into Kim Bong Carpentry Village. The air hums with chisels; planks and joinery line the yards. Kim Bong’s craft evolved around water transport—timber floated downriver, artisans carving functional art that furnished Hoi An’s merchant houses.
The final act is Tra Que Vegetable Village, three kilometers northeast of town, ringed by lagoon channels and fertile alluvial flats. Vegetable beds ripple like green fins; herbs and greens smell bright and immediate. You’ll hoe, water, and learn organic techniques that have kept the fields productive for centuries.
Practical guide: it’s a four-hour loop best done in the morning to avoid midday heat. You’ll use a bicycle between stops and spend most time on flat, paved or packed-earth lanes—bring a light jacket for early fog and sun protection for open fields. Hydrate before and after the farm session; wear closed-toe shoes for pottery and carpentry areas. Budget time for souvenir shopping at small workshops; prices are negotiable but artisans appreciate fair offers.
This tour blends hands-on craft, riverside history, and agriculture—an approachable day outdoors that connects you directly to Hoi An’s living traditions.
