Introduction to Bau Truc Pottery Village Private Tour
History and Culture of Cham Pottery in Bau Truc
Located in Ninh Thuan Province, Bau Truc Village is one of the oldest pottery villages in Southeast Asia. Cham pottery here is entirely handmade — without the use of a pottery wheel — showcasing the skill, patience, and creativity of the Cham people.
Each piece of pottery tells a story of culture, spirituality, and local life passed down through generations.
Why Choose a Private Tour with Local Artisans
A private tour allows for an authentic, hands-on experience with Cham artisans. You’ll not only observe but also participate — molding clay, creating your own pottery, and learning the symbolism behind each design. This intimate setting offers more interaction and personalized guidance.
