Hello everyone \ud83d\udc4b, today I\u2019m taking you on a super exciting journey \u2013 exploring 5 traditional craft villages in Da Nang<\/strong>. This city isn\u2019t just about beaches and mountains, it\u2019s also home to centuries-old crafts that carry the soul of Quang Nam culture. Honestly, I only realized after this trip that Da Nang is so much more than Dragon Bridge<\/em><\/a> or Ba Na Hills!<\/p>\n

\ud83e\udea8 Non Nuoc Stone Carving Village<\/strong><\/h3>\n

First stop \u2013 Non Nuoc Stone Carving Village<\/strong>. Located at the foot of Marble Mountains, this place feels like a \u201cstone art wonderland.\u201d Walking through the village, I was amazed by countless statues of Buddha, lions, dragons \u2013 big and small.<\/p>\n

A local craftsman told me the village has existed for over 200 years, passed down from generation to generation. Watching skillful hands hammer and chisel every detail\u2026 I was honestly impressed. At one moment, I stood there thinking \u2013 these stones almost felt alive.<\/p>\n

You can combine it with a Marble Mountains visit and a Hoi An night tour<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\ud83d\udc1f Nam O Fish Sauce Village \u2013 salty taste of the sea<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Leaving Non Nuoc, I headed north to Nam O Village<\/strong>. As soon as I arrived, the aroma of fish sauce filled the air. Here, locals still preserve the traditional way of making fish sauce \u2013 fermenting fresh anchovies in clay jars for months.<\/p>\n

The best part? I got to taste fish sauce straight from a freshly opened jar. The flavor was rich, slightly sweet, salty but smooth. Pair it with fresh herbs or rice paper rolls, and wow \u2013 that\u2019s the taste of home! I even brought some bottles back as gifts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf3e Cam Ne Mat Weaving Village \u2013 weaving threads of memory<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Next, I dropped by Cam Ne Village<\/strong>, about 10 km southwest of Da Nang. Famous since the 15th century, this village is known for its handmade mats. Watching artisans rhythmically weave sedge threads with a \u201cclick-clack\u201d sound was oddly soothing.<\/p>\n

One elder smiled and told me: \u201cBack in the day, Cam Ne mats were once offered to the king.\u201d How amazing is that? Looking at a finished mat \u2013 thick, smooth, durable \u2013 I finally understood why this craft has survived for centuries.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf58 Tuy Loan Rice Paper Village \u2013 crispy soul of the countryside<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In the afternoon, I made my way to Tuy Loan Village<\/strong> \u2013 heaven for rice paper lovers. The rice papers here are huge, almost as big as a conical hat, and when grilled, the aroma fills the entire neighborhood.<\/p>\n

I even tried making one myself \u2013 felt like crafting an \u201cedible artwork\u201d \ud83d\ude05. Locals shared that this craft has been around for more than 500 years, and just recently in 2024, it was recognized as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Tasting a freshly grilled rice paper roll with pork right in the village\u2026 oh my gosh, it was next-level delicious!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf6a Cam Le Sesame Cake Village \u2013 sweet childhood memories<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My last stop of the day was Cam Le Village<\/strong>. The moment I walked in, the nutty aroma of roasted sesame seeds filled the air. Their sesame cakes are small, crispy, and addictive \u2013 one bite, and you can\u2019t stop.<\/p>\n

Locals told me the craft boomed in the 1950s, and today about 20 households still carry it on. The most famous brand? \u201cBa Lieu Sesame Cakes\u201d<\/strong> \u2013 a name that rings a bell for many people here. To me, biting into these sesame cakes felt like tasting a piece of childhood \u2013 simple yet full of love.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udfa5 Wrapping up the journey through Da Nang\u2019s traditional craft villages<\/strong><\/h3>\n

After a day exploring these five villages, I realized Da Nang isn\u2019t just charming for its modern skyline or stunning beaches, but also for its living traditions. If you ever visit this city, don\u2019t just stick to My Khe Beach or Ba Na Hills day trip<\/em><\/a> \u2013 spend a day wandering through these villages. Trust me, this experience will leave you with memories far deeper than any Instagram check-in!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
