The Hangart – The “Living Museum” of Vietnamese Handicrafts

There are gifts brought back from Da Nang that are bought in just a few minutes. But there are also gifts that take several hours to make by hand.

The Hangart is located on the coastal road between Da Nang and Hoi An, and is a space combining art, architecture, and the experience of traditional Vietnamese craftsmanship. Google currently records this place with a rating of 5.0/5 from 883 reviews.

What makes The Hangart different from a typical workshop is that you don't just come to make one item. The space is built like a "living museum" of handicrafts, with many areas dedicated to different crafts.

You can try pottery making, woodblock printing, Dó paper making, hand embroidery, natural dyeing, essential oil making, wood carving, or lacquer art. Each experience gives you a different finished product to take home.

A rather special experience is woodblock printing on Dó paper. You'll learn about the story behind Vietnamese folk printing techniques, choose a printing block, and print the image onto Dó paper with your own hands. The finished product is then packaged for you to take home. The workshop lasts about 60 minutes and is guided in Vietnamese or English.

If you want something more relaxing, you could try making Dó paper or natural dyeing. And if you enjoy working with your hands, the pottery and wood carving workshops offer more hands-on practice time.

The most memorable part was probably the feeling of not just seeing a traditional Vietnamese craft, but actually getting to touch it. For tourists, this is also a way to create a gift with a much richer story than simply buying a ready-made souvenir.

The Hangart is located on the Da Nang – Hoi An route, so it can be included in your itinerary as a separate stop during the day. The space opens from 07:00, and the workshops start from around 09:30.
