We will pick you up from  your hotel for a 45-minute car ride heading North-West of Hanoi to Van Phuc silk village.

You will take a peaceful stroll, and enjoy an ancient view of a Northern Vietnamese village, with communal houses, fish Ponds  and ancient banyan trees all alongside modern houses. Then, we will visit the families for whom silk production is a way of life. Watch, as we learn the stages of producing handmade silk: from spinning and gluing, through weaving and finishing of the silk wares.
