Dear David,
I am very happy to know that you are going to visit Vietnam next week.
There are many places of interest in Vietnam that have traditional craft. However, I would suggest you pay a visit to Bat Trang Pottery village in Hanoi, the capital city of my country. The craft village dated back to 15th century. Products of the village are well-known not only in the domestic market but also foreign products.
Coming to Bat Trang, you can take a walk or join a buffalo tour for sightseeing and shopping. Besides, you should visit Bat Trang Porcelain and Pottery Market where you can directly make pottery products by yourself. You can spend a whole day in the market to make a gift for family or friends.
I hope you will have a great time here. If you have any more questions, just ask me.
I'm looking forward to seeing you.
Love,
