Phuoc Tich Ancient Village
Làng cổ Phước Tích
A pottery village with more than 500 years of history, preserving dozens of traditional timber 'lu' houses. It once made ceramics for the Nguyen court.
Phuoc Tich Ancient Village lies about 40 km north of the city centre, in Phong Dien district. The O Lau River wraps around it on three sides. The village still has dozens of traditional timber houses and ancestral halls more than a century old, linked by ancient banyan trees and brick paths. It is known for pottery, and it once fired jars for the royal court. Pottery workshops here let visitors try their hand at it. Few tourists come, and the atmosphere is calm. Entry is free, but permission is needed to visit private homes. Hiring a car is recommended, and the village can be visited on the same day as Tam Giang Lagoon.
