Van Phuc Silk Village is situated on the banks of Nhue Thi River, Nguyen Trai Road, near Ha Dong city, 8 km southwest of Hanoi. It takes you only 30 minutes by motorbike to go there from the centre of Hanoi. The village has been much well known for its traditional sericulture, weaving, and silk products. Tourists coming here are lured by various beautiful shirts, crafts, ties, dresses and many other things made of silk available in the village. What is special is that the silk is made by very simple looms, which is the genuinely traditional Vietnamese way of making silk.

Thi is the best guide!

We had a wonderful guide with Thi, he was very helpful and friendly. We had my five year old daughter with us and he was very playful, entertaining her and helping us find food for her and many restroom breaks. He also kept her happy while we shopped! Thank you Thi for interesting conversation about Vietnam and a great day!
