"This is a peaceful, non-touristy village on the side of a river. Tho Ha feels like a journey back in time to the Vietnam of yesteryear, with its mud-brick houses and winding, narrow alleyways typical of the old Red River Delta."

Hanoi Local

Tho Ha is a traditional crafting village about 50 kilometers northeast of Hanoi. It’s encircled by a river, so the only way to reach the village is by boat. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped back in time since not much has changed over the centuries. The villagers spend their days making rice paper by hand, as well as rice paper cakes, a local treat.
