Bicycle Tour Of Bat Trang Ceramics Village

Join us on this 6-hour, private bicycle tour and get the chance to explore Bat Trang, a small, quaint village about 13km southeast of central Hanoi, on the other side of the Chuong Duong Bridge. Your guide will receive you at your hotel before 8:00 am, after which you will be briefed about issues regarding safety and bike handling.

Cycle along the Red River dyke, cross the Long Bien Bridge along the way. This bridge, which was formerly known as the Paul Doumer Bridge, is one of the greatest engineering accomplishments of the French, who once ruled over Vietnam.

Continue riding along the dyke after crossing the bridge before heading for a small biking trail that passes through cornfields and vegetable as well as fruit gardens. See lush green paddy fields along the way. Ride past banana, guava and apple farms.

Reach Bat Trang after about two hours of cycling. Apart from its scenic location, the village is also famous for its high-quality ceramic products. The vases, bowls, cups and plates made by the villagers are exported worldwide.

Take a short walk around the village. Explore its ceramic market and visit the Bat Trang Temple as well as Bat Trang Communal House. Discover the local way of living and learn more about the traditions of the place. Stop at a local workshop and learn more about the pottery-making process. Try making pottery on your own. Its time to cycle back to the capital city now.
