What to see, in order

01

Family workshops

Potters shape pots, lamps and whistles on foot-turned or electric wheels; many families have worked clay for generations.

02

Terracotta park

Garden of clay models of world landmarks and a small museum of the craft (separate ticket, check).

03

Try the wheel

Potters let visitors throw a small piece for a fee; kids take home a clay whistle.

04

River at sunset

The ride back along the Thu Bồn is flat and pretty.

How to do it well

  1. 1Cycle out after 15:00; buy the village ticket at the entrance.
  2. 2Walk the main lane and look into two or three workshops; the ones with a wheel set up for visitors are easiest.
  3. 3Buy directly from the potters; fragile pieces need wrapping for the flight.
