Travel Guide to Tho Ha Village in Bac Giang
Amazing Location of Tho Ha
The Tho Ha Village has a beautiful location with low mountains to the north and with the other sides almost surrounded by river – the Cau River or Nhu Nguyet River and. Villagers are most required to cross the river by boat for their work outside of the village. Thanks to this relatively isolation that the village always keeps for itself a quiet vibe which is unchanged for several centuries.

Amazing Traditions at Tho Ha
Tho Ha used to have a several-century old tradition of making pottery starting from the 12th century and experiencing the height during the 14th century. The legacy is visible in the village nowadays: old houses with walls made of broken pottery. Nowadays villagers have other occupations: making rice papers, crab-rice papers and rice noodle.
The wall of a house at Tho Ha
A trip to Tho Ha brings you back in time when red brick houses were found in the village; the village paths were tiny which were barely wide enough for two people walking side-by-side; villagers were hectic busy working in steamy kitchen… Tho Ha Village is certainly a hidden gem in Vietnam, and a visit to this charming village is a great way to experience traditional rural life in the country as well as to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

Where to Stay
Tho Ha Village is a small village without homestay or accommodation to visitors and so there aren't many accommodation options nearby either. However, you can choose to stay in nearby Bac Giang City or Bac Ninh City, which both have several accommodation choices to suit different budgets from adventure to luxury travelers.
How to get there
To get to Tho Ha Village, the easiest way is to take a taxi or private car from Hanoi, which takes about 2 hours. Alternatively, you can take a bus from Hanoi to Bac Giang City, and then transfer to a local bus to Tho Ha Village. The bus journey takes around 2-3 hours in total. It is closer to take the old Route 1A rather than the newly built Hanoi – Bac Giang Highway.
