Where Is Thanh Ha Pottery Village and How to Get There

Alongside the 500-year-old traditional craft village, an unmissable contemporary architectural highlight here is the Thanh Ha Terracotta Park — one of the largest pottery museums in Vietnam.

From the center of Danang city, the travel distance is about 32 km. The most convenient route is to drive along the coastal Vo Nguyen Giap Avenue, turn onto Lac Long Quan Street toward Hoi An, and then go straight along Hung Vuong or Duy Tan Street to reach the pottery village. If you are traveling with family, booking a round-trip Danang to Hoi An private car transfer with a stop at Thanh Ha Pottery Village is the most comfortable choice, saving you from the heat and the hassle of navigating.

Exciting Activities You Cannot Miss in Thanh Ha

Visiting Thanh Ha Pottery Village is not just about sightseeing; it is an interactive, hands-on journey with clay, water, and fire:

1. Try Your Hand at the Turntable and Shape Your First Pottery Piece

Unlike industrial pottery villages that use molds, Thanh Ha pottery preserves the traditional “turntable throwing” method, which requires smooth coordination between two people: one uses their foot to pedal the wheel, while the other uses their hands to smooth the fine clay. Elderly artisans will guide you step-by-step: from centering the clay, hollowing out a bowl, smoothing a vase neck, to creating delicate patterns.

2. Admire the Thanh Ha Terracotta Park - Miniature Pottery Wonders

Thanh Ha Pottery Park is Vietnam’s largest outdoor pottery museum, designed by architect Nguyen Van Nguyen with inspiration drawn from the pottery turntable. It gathers hundreds of miniature world-wonder models made entirely of terracotta: Hanoi’s Turtle Tower, Egyptian Pyramids, the Statue of Liberty, the Roman Colosseum, and the Sydney Opera House.
