A new destination to experience within the neighborhood of the “starillage” of ceramics in Hanoi capital. Check-in now!

Located in Van Giang district (Hung Yen province) but right next to the door to Bat Trang village in Gia Lam district (Hanoi), The Centre of Vietnamese Quintessential Craft Villages (Trung tâm Tinh hoa Làng nghề Việt) impresses the curious visitors with the artistic architecture inspired by potter’s wheel, which is a typical symbol of the craftsmanship of Bat Trang village.

Spanning an area of 3,300 square meter, the striking three-storey structure features 7 spiral columns like giant potter’s wheels by the Bac Hung Hai river (sông Bắc Hưng Hải), Insides, the first floor is now set up to display and sell porcelain and ceramic (the price is surprisingly so affordable that we decided to buy some small souvenirs). By the time this building come into full operation, the floor would also be a space for art exhibition, as well as other pottery experience for visitors.

The second floor would be used for displaying the typical products of the Crafts Village, a variety of handicrafts along with “family tree of ceramics craftsmanship”. It is also expected to hold auctions of finest artworks. The top floor is an theater with outdoor space for events or celebrating traditional activities. These floors are now in finishing stage and closed to public, so we only visited the store and some public area, but to be honest, that’s surprisingly a hidden gem more than our expectations.
