Activities at Thanh Ha Pottery Village
Activities can change with the workshop and the time of year. Ask directly when you book:
Shaping Clay on a Traditional Wheel
Some workshops may guide you through shaping on a wheel or prepare a clay form for you. Ask in advance how much you do yourself, the materials, when you receive the piece and whether it is fired.
The Thanh Ha Terracotta Park
If you want to visit the terracotta park, check its opening hours, tickets and exhibition areas on an official channel. Do not infer what is on show from an older description.
Clay Whistles Shaped as the Twelve Zodiac Animals
Gifts, children’s activities and what a ticket includes can change with the programme. Ask again at the ticket desk if you have young children.
Practical Tips for a Visit
- Tidy clothing: Working with clay can stain light-coloured clothes, so wear comfortable clothing or use the workshop’s apron.
- Timing: Check opening hours and the weather forecast, and choose a time that suits your group rather than a fixed hour.
- Support the craft village: Look at the shops selling glazed jars, oil burners and red clay tea sets to support the local artisans.

How do we get from Da Nang or the old town to the pottery village?
From the old town, use a map pin and check whether walking, cycling, a boat or a car suits the conditions on the day. From Da Nang, a private car can stop at the village and the old town when the drop-off, waiting time and cost are confirmed.
