Day 1: Cycling to Bat Trang Pottery Village one day
Our guide will pick you up at your hotel lobby at 8:00 am and bring you to the bike store (by taxi of course) for a brief introduction to how the bike works and your pending cycling trip.
We then cycle to the Long Bien Bridge where you’ll cross the mighty Red River. As you cross the 1.5 kilometres (1 mile) long bridge you’ll learn about this famous bridge’s history from colonial times through to the Vietnamese War and its enduring importance today. Once across the Red River, you continue along the embankment for a bit as you cycle past the patchwork of fields and orchards of fruits and vegetables including rice, corn, grapefruit, and kumquats.
At around 10:00 a.m, we arrive at the Bat Trang Ceramic Village - a distinctive northern Vietnamese village on the banks of the Red River. It has preserved its charm and small village atmosphere despite the popularity of its world class ceramic production. Here, we can enjoy a tour of the village and visit with the local craftsmen who produce the famous high-quality ceramics.
Following lunch, at a local restaurant, we stop at a ceramic studio to learn about pottery production from one of the local craftsmen. You also have the chance to make your own piece and have more.
