Van Phuc Village – Journey Along Vietnam’s Silk Legacy

Located just 30 minutes from Hanoi’s center, Van Phuc Silk Village is one of Vietnam’s oldest and most famous craft villages — where every thread is woven with elegance, tradition, and national pride.

Your visit begins at the vibrant Van Phuc silk market, where hundreds of handwoven silk products await: scarves, ao dai, ties, and delicate souvenirs. Then, step inside traditional workshops, especially the Van Xuan Silk House of master artisan Trieu Van Mao, to witness the full process of silk-making — from spinning and dyeing to weaving — all done on centuries-old wooden looms.

As you stroll through the charming alleyways, discover the village’s ancient houses, the traditional craft exhibition center, a wall mural street that captures silk’s artistic essence, and the “Silk Road” pathway lined with creative installations perfect for photos and exploration.

More than just a shopping stop, Van Phuc offers a living cultural experience, where heritage, craftsmanship, and the heartbeat of village life come together in every step and every strand of silk.
