Description

Explore Phu Vinh Bamboo and Rattan Village, a charming destination renowned for its traditional bamboo and rattan crafts. Discover a quintessential aspect of Vietnamese craftsmanship and rural life. Learn about the village's history, founded in 1700 and originally called Phu Hoa Trang, which means “endowed with manual dexterity.” In 1800, the name was changed to Phu Vinh. Everyone in the village, young or old, man or woman, weaves rattan and bamboo. It has been in their blood for generations. In the past, every household in the village was involved in the craft. Now, about 90% of the villagers follow the trade, but Phu Vinh artisans have spread the craft to 12 other provinces and cities in Vietnam. The long-lasting handicraft tradition helps create jobs for people in Phu Vinh craft village, improving life quality. See how their love and passion is shown in every handicraft product. Located in Phu Nghia commune, Chuong My district, 27 kilometers to the southwest of Hanoi, the Phu Vinh bamboo and rattan weaving craft village is dubbed “the land of rattan” for its well-known handcraft decorative and utility products. Next, visit the Tram relic complex, situated in Tram Mountain in Long Chau Village, Phung Chau Commune, Chuong My District, southwest Hanoi. The complex consists of three ritual sites: Tram Pagoda, Hang Pagoda, and Vo Vi Pagoda. Tram Mountain is a unique ‘stone plateau’ in Hanoi outskirts, housing the aged-old ritual sites and marvelous beautiful landscapes. The lesser-known tourist destination is considered as a ‘rocky plateau’ in Hanoi, evoking wildness and magnificent poetry with a peaceful world of rock, grass and trees, of familiar nature. The great limestone karst is made up of many small peaks, bizarre rocks and mysterious caves that make visitors feel as if they are in the rocky plateau of Ha Giang Province. The history of Tram pagoda (or so-called Tram Son Tu) dates back some centuries ago. Tram Son Tu was built by feudal general Tran Van Tang (unknown the dates of birth and death) in 1515. From the main entrance of the relic site, visitors have to walk through a spacious courtyard to visit Tram Son Tu which is located on the left-side with its back against the mountain. The pagoda is surrounded by many old trees, bringing freshness and coolness all year round to the holy space. There is also a breathtaking view from the pagoda courtyard with a small trail embracing the whole relic site and the peaceful Day River on the foot of the Tram Mountain. Tram Mountain has a moderate height that is suitable for hiking and camping. For an adventurous trekking, visitors can climb up Tram’s cliffs. Setting a campsite on the top of Tram mountain after a long day trekking around would be a good choice for those who want to stay overnight within the nature. Travelers can admire the miracle sunset in a summer afternoon, then, spend a memorable night under the starring stars.
