Thanh Ha Terracotta Park Tours

Learn all about the art of terra-cotta and pottery at Thanh Ha Terracotta Park. Just outside of Hoi An, the 64,583-square-foot (6,000-square-meter) park and museum showcases the history of terra-cotta locally and elsewhere. Take a workshop, marvel at mini world landmarks, or just browse the artisans market.
 
The Basics
In wandering around the park’s five main areas—Nam Dieu Village, Creativity Workshop, Trade Promotion, Pottery Museum, and the Outdoor Exhibition Area—you’ll see a wide range of examples of terra-cotta and pottery, from giant murals to miniatures. Watch artisans at work and buy directly from them, or try your hand at making your own pottery. The park sometimes offers workshops and special activities, for an additional fee.
 
It’s easy to visit Thanh Ha Terracotta Park independently, as part of a trip to Thanh Ha Pottery Village. Some half- and full-day guided tours from Hoi An and Da Nang stop by the park and pottery village en route to or from attractions such as My Son Sanctuary.
