Just about 30 minutes by motorbike from the centre of Hanoi, Van Phuc is famous for its silk products.
Shirts, crafts, ties, dresses and many other things made of silk can be found in the village. The special thing is that the silk used there is made with very simple looms. This has attracted many visitors to the village wishing to see the traditional Vietnamese way of making silk.
In order to promote economic development, many houses in the village have been turned into shops selling silk products to customers.
If you want to buy gifts from Vietnam for your foreign friends, you should definitely go to the village. But more than just that, you will have the chance to explore what daily life in Vietnam’s countryside is like. The village also has many historical and cultural relics. |
