Ha Noi, the capital of Vietnam, is one of the most interesting destinations for domestic and foreign tourists. Among many attractions are the craft villages. There are about 1500 handicraft villages recognized in Viet Nam, and about 300 are traditional handicraft villages. The heartland of craft villages is the Red River Delta, and particularly around Ha Noi. Ha Noi is home to more than 45 percent of the nation’s total number.

How were those craft villages set up? Years ago, after harvest time, Vietnamese villagers used natural materials, such as clay, bamboo, wood, and some certain kinds of plants and leaves to make craft things for their family’s daily needs. Gradually, they made their handicrafts more and more perfect, and then sold them to others around the village to get extra income. The ways to make handicrafts have been passed down from generation to generation. Family members, relatives, and friends work together. Those artisans never compete but help one another to do better business. Each craft village has its trademark name of handicraft products.

The government has organized marketing offices, agencies, and design centers to introduce handicrafts to everyone so that the artisans can sell their products. Today, many ceramic, porcelain, bamboo, rattan, wood, and lacquer products from handicraft villages are sold as souvenirs throughout the country.
