Located 3 km west of the Ancient Town on the Thu Bon River, the village has produced hand-thrown terracotta pottery using locally sourced red clay since the 15th century \u2014 making it one of the oldest continuously operating craft communities in Central Vietnam.\n\n  <div class=\"mv-card-grid\">\n    <div class=\"mv-info-card\">\n      <h3>What you will see<\/h3>\n      Artisans working on kick wheels, shaping bowls, jars, and decorative pieces by hand using techniques passed down across generations. The clay is sourced from the Thu Bon River banks \u2014 a specific type that fires to the orange-red colour distinctive to Thanh Ha ware. Kilns (both traditional wood-fired and modern electric) are visible throughout the village.\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-info-card\">\n      <h3>Hands-on workshop<\/h3>\n      Most visitors try the pottery wheel under guidance from a village artisan. The workshop is genuinely hands-on \u2014 you work the clay yourself, not just watch a demonstration. Sessions are short (20\u201330 minutes) and available to all ages. The results are inconsistent and often hilarious, which is rather the point. Finished pieces can be kiln-fired and collected later, or small pre-made pieces can be purchased to take home.\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-info-card\">\n      <h3>Ceramic Museum<\/h3>\n      The village includes a small museum documenting Thanh Ha&#8217;s pottery history and its trade connections to Japanese, Chinese, and European merchants during the 17th and 18th centuries, when Hoi An was one of Southeast Asia&#8217;s most active trading ports.\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-info-card\">\n      <h3>Th\u00f4ng tin chi ti\u1ebft<\/h3>\n      Entry: approximately 35,000 VND per adult. Workshop: additional 50,000\u2013100,000 VND. Open daily from 7:30 AM. Best visited in the morning when clay is worked most actively. The village is accessible by bicycle (3 km from the Ancient Town along the river road), by tuk-tuk, or on the way in or out of Hoi An by private car. Allow 60\u201390 minutes.\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"mv-highlight-box\">\n    <strong>What makes Thanh Ha different from tourist pottery experiences:<\/strong> this is a working production village, not a purpose-built attraction. The potters producing pieces for local market use and for export are working in the same spaces as the workshop tourists. The overlap gives Thanh Ha an authenticity that staged craft demonstrations elsewhere in Vietnam lack.\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"kim-bong\" class=\"mv-section\">\n  <h2>Kim Bong Carpentry Village \u2014 the craftsmen who built Hoi An<\/h2>\n  Kim Bong Carpentry Village sits on the south bank of the Thu Bon River opposite the Ancient Town \u2014 accessible by a short sampan boat ride from Bach Dang Street (10,000\u201320,000 VND per crossing). The carpenters of Kim Bong built and maintained many of the wooden structures that make Hoi An&#8217;s Ancient Town the UNESCO-listed heritage it is today. Their joinery techniques \u2014 mortise and tenon construction without nails, using traditional hand tools \u2014 are still practised here.\n\n  <div class=\"mv-travel-grid\">\n    <div class=\"mv-travel-card\">\n      <h3>\ud83e\udeb5 The woodworking tradition<\/h3>\n      Kim Bong craftsmen are specialists in the traditional Vietnamese joinery style that relies on interlocking wooden joints rather than metal fixings. The technique demands extraordinary precision \u2014 a miscut joint cannot be corrected. Walking through the village workshops, you see carpenters working on furniture, decorative panels, architectural restoration components, and wooden models of traditional boats.\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-travel-card\">\n      <h3>\ud83d\udea4 Boat building<\/h3>\n      Kim Bong is also one of the last places in Central Vietnam where traditional wooden fishing boats are still built by hand. The boat yard at the river&#8217;s edge has vessels in various stages of construction \u2014 from the raw timber frame to the finished and painted hull. The construction process uses techniques largely unchanged from those used centuries ago.\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-travel-card\">\n      <h3>\ud83d\uded2 What to buy<\/h3>\n      Small decorative carvings, wooden figurines, interlocking puzzle boxes, miniature traditional houses, and hand-carved chopstick sets are all available directly from the craftsmen. Prices are significantly lower than equivalent pieces in the Ancient Town shops that source from the village. Heavier furniture pieces can be shipped internationally through local exporters.\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-travel-card\">\n      <h3>\ud83d\udccd How to get there<\/h3>\n      Take a sampan boat from the Bach Dang Street riverfront (10,000\u201320,000 VND, 5 minutes across). Or drive 4 km around via the Cam Nam bridge. The river crossing is the better approach \u2014 it gives you a view of the Ancient Town from the water and is part of the village experience. Allow 60\u201390 minutes including the crossing.\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"tra-que\" class=\"mv-section\">\n  <h2>Tra Que Vegetable Village \u2014 the farm that feeds Hoi An<\/h2>\n  Tra Que Vegetable Village, 3 km north of the Ancient Town near An Bang Beach, supplies the fresh herbs and vegetables to Hoi An&#8217;s restaurants and has done so for centuries. If you have eaten Cao Lau, White Rose Dumplings, or any herb-forward dish in a Hoi An restaurant, the rau ram, morning glory, and holy basil almost certainly came from Tra Que.\n\n  <div class=\"mv-card-grid\">\n    <div class=\"mv-info-card\">\n      <h3>The village and the water<\/h3>\n      Tra Que&#8217;s distinctive agricultural character comes from the combination of alluvial soil deposited by the Thu Bon River and the water from the Tra Que Lagoon \u2014 a specific mineral-rich water source that local farmers credit for the unusual intensity of flavour in the herbs grown here. The same herb variety grown in other locations tastes noticeably milder, which Hoi An restaurants have long known.\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-info-card\">\n      <h3>Farm experience workshops<\/h3>\n      Several Tra Que farms offer a 2\u20133 hour morning workshop that covers the full farm cycle: preparing the soil with traditional rakes, planting seedlings, watering, harvesting, and cooking a meal using what you have grown. The workshops end with lunch prepared from the morning&#8217;s harvest \u2014 rau muong stir-fry, herb salad, fresh spring rolls. A genuinely hands-on and satisfying experience, especially for families and food-focused travelers.\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-info-card\">\n      <h3>Sunrise and golden hour<\/h3>\n      Tra Que is at its most beautiful very early in the morning \u2014 before 7:00 AM, when the mist sits over the vegetable plots and the farmers are at work with their lanterns before the sun rises. If you are staying in Hoi An (rather than day-tripping from Da Nang), a 6:00 AM bicycle ride to Tra Que is one of the best things you can do in the region.\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-info-card\">\n      <h3>Th\u00f4ng tin chi ti\u1ebft<\/h3>\n      Entry free or small fee depending on access point. Workshop: 300,000\u2013500,000 VND per person including lunch. Book ahead \u2014 the good workshops have limited capacity. Accessible by bicycle from the Ancient Town (3 km, 15 minutes), by tuk-tuk, or as a stop on your private car route between Da Nang and Hoi An via An Bang Beach.\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"phuoc-kieu\" class=\"mv-section\">\n  <h2>Phuoc Kieu Bronze Casting Village \u2014 the sound of Hoi An<\/h2>\n  Phuoc Kieu Bronze Casting Village, 7 km south of Hoi An on the road toward My Son Sanctuary, is one of the least visited of the major craft villages \u2014 which makes it one of the most rewarding. The village has produced bronze bells, gongs, ritual vessels, and decorative objects for over 400 years, supplying pagodas, temples, and royal courts throughout the region.\n\n  <div class=\"mv-travel-grid\">\n    <div class=\"mv-travel-card\">\n      <h3>\ud83d\udd14 The craft<\/h3>\n      Bronze casting at Phuoc Kieu uses the lost-wax method (cire perdue) \u2014 a technique unchanged in its fundamentals since the village was established. A wax model is created, encased in clay, fired to melt out the wax, and then molten bronze is poured into the cavity. The resulting piece is unique \u2014 no two castings are identical. Watching the pour, when liquid bronze at over 900\u00b0C fills the mould in seconds, is one of the most visually striking craft demonstrations in Vietnam.\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-travel-card\">\n      <h3>\ud83c\udfb5 The gongs and bells<\/h3>\n      Phuoc Kieu is particularly known for its ritual gongs and bells \u2014 both in tuned sets for musical performance and as single pieces for temple use. The acoustic quality of Phuoc Kieu bronze is considered exceptional \u2014 the sustained resonance of a well-cast bell from this village has a different quality to mass-produced alternatives. Several family workshops still supply Buddhist temples across Vietnam.\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-travel-card\">\n      <h3>\ud83d\udecd Souvenirs<\/h3>\n      Small decorative bells, figurines, and miniature ritual vessels are available for purchase directly from the casting families. Prices are significantly lower than equivalent pieces in Hoi An&#8217;s Ancient Town market. A small Phuoc Kieu bell that sells for 300,000\u2013500,000 VND in the village often appears at 800,000\u20131,200,000 VND in the tourist shops 7 km north.\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-travel-card\">\n      <h3>\ud83d\udccd How to get there<\/h3>\n      7 km south of Hoi An on the road toward My Son. Best visited by private car or motorbike \u2014 the distance makes bicycle access long for a day trip. Can be combined with a My Son Sanctuary visit (20 km further south) as a half-day excursion from Hoi An. Allow 45\u201360 minutes in the village.\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"lang-mat\" class=\"mv-section\">\n  <h2>Phu Chiem Mat Weaving Village \u2014 silk grass and pattern<\/h2>\n  Phu Chiem Mat Weaving Village, 5 km east of Hoi An near Cam Chau commune, specialises in the production of traditional woven sedge mats (chieu) using a plant-based dye process that produces the warm earth tones and geometric patterns characteristic of Central Vietnamese textile tradition. The village has been producing these mats for over 300 years.\n\n  <div class=\"mv-card-grid\">\n    <div class=\"mv-info-card\">\n      <h3>The weaving process<\/h3>\n      Phu Chiem weavers work on large horizontal looms that fill the ground floors of the traditional stilt houses. The sedge grass (co bang) is harvested, dried, and dyed using plant-based pigments before weaving. A single mat takes one to two days to complete depending on size and pattern complexity. The geometric patterns \u2014 diamonds, florals, and traditional Vietnamese motifs \u2014 are woven from memory without any diagram or template.\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-info-card\">\n      <h3>What to buy<\/h3>\n      Woven mats range from small decorative pieces (200,000\u2013500,000 VND) to large floor mats (800,000\u20132,000,000 VND). Also available: woven baskets, small pouches, and decorative panels. The combination of natural materials and hand-dyed colour makes these among the most distinctive and transportable craft items available anywhere in the Hoi An region.\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"lang-lua\" class=\"mv-section\">\n  <h2>Hoi An Silk &#038; Lantern Making \u2014 inside the workshops<\/h2>\n  Two crafts that define Hoi An&#8217;s visual identity \u2014 silk and lanterns \u2014 are produced in small workshops scattered across the town and its immediate surroundings. Neither constitutes a single designated village in the same sense as Thanh Ha or Kim Bong, but both are accessible as workshop visits.\n\n  <div class=\"mv-travel-grid\">\n    <div class=\"mv-travel-card\">\n      <h3>\ud83c\udfee Lantern making workshops<\/h3>\n      Hoi An&#8217;s iconic coloured silk lanterns are made by hand in family workshops, primarily in the streets immediately surrounding the Ancient Town. The frame is bent bamboo wire; the cover is silk, paper, or synthetic fabric depending on price point. Several workshops on Le Loi and Nguyen Thai Hoc streets offer 60\u201390 minute make-your-own-lantern sessions (150,000\u2013250,000 VND) where you bend, assemble, and cover a lantern to take home. Book ahead \u2014 capacity is limited to 4\u20138 participants per session.\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-travel-card\">\n      <h3>\ud83e\uddf5 Silk workshops<\/h3>\n      The Hoi An Silk Village (Lang Lua Hoi An) north of the town on Au Co Street offers a guided tour of the silk production process \u2014 mulberry cultivation, silkworm rearing, cocoon harvesting, thread spinning, and final weaving on traditional looms. The workshop ends in a retail area where finished silk products are available at prices competitive with the Ancient Town shops. Entry approximately 80,000\u2013100,000 VND per adult, partially credited toward purchases.\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-travel-card\">\n      <h3>\ud83c\udfa8 Why lanterns are worth understanding<\/h3>\n      The lanterns that illuminate Hoi An every night are not generic decorations \u2014 each neighbourhood and assembly hall has its own lantern colours and shapes that carry specific cultural and historical meaning. Understanding the craft behind them changes how you see the town at night. A lantern-making workshop is also one of the most child-appropriate craft activities available in Hoi An \u2014 results are tangible, the timeline is short, and the outcome is something children can hang in their room at home.\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-travel-card\">\n      <h3>\ud83d\uded2 Buying Hoi An lanterns<\/h3>\n      Lanterns bought directly from a workshop family cost significantly less than the same pieces in tourist shops. Sizes from small (30 cm, 50,000\u201380,000 VND) to large decorative (80\u2013100 cm, 200,000\u2013400,000 VND). Flat-pack and collapsible versions are available for international travel. The silk lanterns require careful packing \u2014 bubble wrap or a rigid cardboard frame inserted inside protects the shape in checked luggage.\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"how-to-visit\" class=\"mv-section\">\n  <h2>How to visit Hoi An&#8217;s craft villages<\/h2>\n  <div class=\"mv-price-box\">\n    <div class=\"mv-price-box__row mv-price-box__row--header\">\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__label\">Village<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__value\">Distance from Ancient Town<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__time\">Best transport<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-price-box__row\">\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__label\">Thanh Ha Pottery<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__value\">3 km west<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__time\">Bicycle or tuk-tuk<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-price-box__row\">\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__label\">Kim Bong Carpentry<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__value\">500m across river<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__time\">Sampan boat from Bach Dang<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-price-box__row\">\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__label\">Tra Que Vegetables<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__value\">3 km north<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__time\">Bicycle or private car<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-price-box__row\">\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__label\">Phuoc Kieu Bronze<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__value\">7 km south<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__time\">Private car (too far to cycle)<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-price-box__row\">\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__label\">Phu Chiem Mat Weaving<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__value\">5 km east<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__time\">Bicycle or private car<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-price-box__row\">\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__label\">Hoi An Silk Village<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__value\">2 km north<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__time\">Bicycle or tuk-tuk<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <ul class=\"mv-list\">\n    <li><strong>Bicycle is the best transport for the nearby villages.<\/strong> Thanh Ha, Tra Que, and the Silk Village are all within comfortable cycling distance from the Ancient Town.

Pottery wheels, bronze pours, and weaving looms run from around 7:00\u20138:00 AM. By 1:00 PM, many workshops slow significantly. A 9:00 AM start at any village gives you the best activity and the best photographs.<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"suggested-itinerary\" class=\"mv-section\">\n  <h2>Suggested itinerary: craft village day from Da Nang<\/h2>\n  <div class=\"mv-price-box\">\n    <div class=\"mv-price-box__row mv-price-box__row--header\">\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__label\">Gi\u1edd<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__value\">Ho\u1ea1t \u0111\u1ed9ng<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__time\">Ghi ch\u00fa<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-price-box__row\">\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__label\">8 gi\u1edd s\u00e1ng<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__value\">D\u1ecbch v\u1ee5 \u0111\u00f3n kh\u00e1ch b\u1eb1ng xe ri\u00eang t\u1ea1i kh\u00e1ch s\u1ea1n \u1edf \u0110\u00e0 N\u1eb5ng<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__time\">Book with Minh Vu Travel<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-price-box__row\">\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__label\">8:45\u20139:30 s\u00e1ng<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__value\">Tra Que Vegetable Village \u2014 morning walk with farmers<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__time\">Drop in on the way south to Hoi An<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-price-box__row\">\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__label\">10:00\u201311:30 AM<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__value\">Thanh Ha Pottery Village \u2014 pottery wheel session<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__time\">Book workshop slot in advance<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-price-box__row\">\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__label\">12:00\u20131:30 PM<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__value\">Lunch \u2014 Cao Lau in the Ancient Town<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__time\">5 min from Thanh Ha<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-price-box__row\">\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__label\">1:30\u20132:30 PM<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__value\">Sampan to Kim Bong Carpentry Village<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__time\">10,000\u201320,000 VND crossing<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-price-box__row\">\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__label\">3:00\u20134:00 PM<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__value\">Lantern workshop in the Ancient Town<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__time\">Pre-booked \u00b7 150,000\u2013250,000 VND<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-price-box__row\">\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__label\">5:00\u20136:30 PM<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__value\">Riverside caf\u00e9 \u00b7 optional evening Ancient Town walk<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__time\">Return anytime via Minh Vu Travel<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mv-price-box__row\">\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__label\">19:00\u201320:30<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__value\">Dinner + lantern-lit evening (or return to Da Nang)<\/span>\n      <span class=\"mv-price-box__time\">Pre-book return car<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <p class=\"mv-note\">This itinerary adds Phuoc Kieu Bronze Village if combined with a My Son Sanctuary trip (add one full morning).

The Ancient Town lanes get the photographs; the villages get the understanding. A morning at Thanh Ha or Kim Bong gives you context for the wooden houses and ceramic roof tiles you have been walking past \u2014 suddenly the town is not just beautiful, it is explicable. The craft tradition and the heritage site are the same story, told from different ends.\n\n  From Da Nang, the craft villages are easily combined with an Ancient Town visit as part of a full day trip or a 2-night Hoi An stay. A private car from <a href=\"https:\/\/danangtohoian.com\/vi\/dich-vu-xe-rieng-tai-hoi-an\/\">C\u00f4ng ty Du l\u1ecbch Minh V\u0169<\/a> allows you to set your own sequence, stop as long as each village deserves, and return on your own schedule.\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"faq\" class=\"mv-faq\">\n  <p class=\"mv-section-label\">C\u00e2u h\u1ecfi th\u01b0\u1eddng g\u1eb7p<\/p>\n  <h2>C\u00e1c c\u00e2u h\u1ecfi th\u01b0\u1eddng g\u1eb7p<\/h2>\n\n  <div class=\"mv-faq-item\">\n    <button class=\"mv-faq-question\">What are the traditional craft villages near Hoi An?<\/button>\n    <div class=\"mv-faq-answer\">The six main craft villages are: Thanh Ha Pottery Village (terracotta, 3 km west), Kim Bong Carpentry Village (traditional joinery and boat building, across the river), Tra Que Vegetable Village (organic herb farming, 3 km north), Phuoc Kieu Bronze Casting Village (gongs and bells, 7 km south), Phu Chiem Mat Weaving Village (sedge mats, 5 km east), and the Hoi An Silk Village (silk weaving and lantern making, 2 km north).<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"mv-faq-item\">\n    <button class=\"mv-faq-question\">Can I visit Hoi An&#8217;s craft villages on a day trip from Da Nang?<\/button>\n    <div class=\"mv-faq-answer\">Yes. The nearby villages \u2014 Thanh Ha, Kim Bong, and Tra Que \u2014 can all be combined with an Ancient Town visit in a single full day from Da Nang. Phuoc Kieu (7 km south) is best added as part of a My Son Sanctuary excursion. A private car with Minh Vu Travel gives you full flexibility over your sequence and timing. Book at danangtohoian.com\/hoi-an-private-car or via WhatsApp +84 905 989 702.<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"mv-faq-item\">\n    <button class=\"mv-faq-question\">Is Thanh Ha Pottery Village worth visiting?<\/button>\n    <div class=\"mv-faq-answer\">Yes \u2014 it is the most accessible of the craft villages and offers a genuinely hands-on experience. The pottery wheel workshop is suitable for all ages and gives real engagement with a living craft tradition. Allow 60\u201390 minutes. Best visited in the morning when artisans are most active.<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"mv-faq-item\">\n    <button class=\"mv-faq-question\">How do I get to Kim Bong Carpentry Village from Hoi An?<\/button>\n    <div class=\"mv-faq-answer\">Take a sampan boat from the Bach Dang Street riverfront \u2014 10,000\u201320,000 VND per person, 5 minutes across the Thu Bon River. This is the preferred approach: the river crossing is part of the experience and gives you a unique view of the Ancient Town from the water. Alternatively, drive 4 km around via the Cam Nam bridge.<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"mv-faq-item\">\n    <button class=\"mv-faq-question\">What can I make at Hoi An&#8217;s craft village workshops?<\/button>\n    <div class=\"mv-faq-answer\">At Thanh Ha you can throw and shape pottery on a kick wheel. At lantern workshops on Le Loi Street, you can build and cover a traditional Hoi An lantern to take home. At Tra Que, farm workshops include planting, harvesting, and cooking a full meal from the garden. Lantern workshops require advance booking; pottery and farm workshops can often accommodate walk-ins in the morning.<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"mv-faq-item\">\n    <button class=\"mv-faq-question\">Which craft village is best for families with children?<\/button>\n    <div class=\"mv-faq-answer\">The lantern-making workshop is the most child-appropriate \u2014 short, hands-on, with a tangible result children can bring home. Thanh Ha Pottery is the runner-up \u2014 the wheel session is engaging for children aged 6 and above and the mess is part of the appeal. Tra Que farm walks work well for children who are curious about where food comes from.<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"mv-cta-box\">\n  <h2>Visiting Hoi An&#8217;s craft villages from Da Nang?<\/h2>\n  A private car from Minh Vu Travel lets you set your own route \u2014 Thanh Ha in the morning, Kim Bong after lunch, and the Ancient Town in the evening.
