Phuc Sen Blacksmith Village
Làng rèn Phúc Sen
A traditional blacksmith village of the Nung An people, where forge fires glow and hammers ring constantly, and its handmade knives are famous far and wide.
Phuc Sen Village is in Quang Uyen district and has a blacksmith tradition several centuries old. Most families in the village make a living from handcrafted metalwork. Using bellows-powered forges and hammers, they make cleavers, sickles, hoes and more. The products are known for their sharpness and durability and are sold to northern Vietnamese provinces. Visitors can enter the workshops to watch masters forge and quench blades, and buy a knife as a souvenir (observe airline rules for checked baggage). Entry is free. The village is set in a karst valley and has beautiful scenery.
