More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
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.
