Overview

Phu Lang is one of the three ancient pottery centers of the Northern Delta region, which was formed and developed about 900 years ago with traditional handicraft products and appliances.

These days, ceramics used in Phu Lang are believed to be present in a number of historical sites in the Red River delta, such as communal houses, temples, pagodas… Moreover, Phu Lang pottery village still keeps its pristine features and the lives of people here are as rustic as materials of ceramics.

The ceramic village of Phu Lang retains the simple beauty and peaceful atmosphere of many years ago, with its narrow zigzag lanes, red brick walls, and unchanging scenes of rural Vietnam. Phu Lang has become a tourist attraction to both local and foreign visitors.
