Bat Trang is the top famous traditional porcelain and pottery village in Vietnam from the 17th century. Bat Trang was perfectly located in between two biggest trading centers at the time in the North, namely Pho Hien & Thang Long. Hence, Bat Trang's ceramics were favorite products not only in domestic business men, but also foreign ones such as Japanese, Chinese and Western trading boats. My tour will not only take you to visit the famous parts but also the ancient parts of the village.
