Getting started

What to expect
Conical hat village
Visit a local conical hat village to see how the nón lá is made and learn why it is a long-standing symbol of Vietnamese identity.
Features
- You explore the conical hat village with entrance fees included when you book a guided option, so you can focus on observing the craftspeople without arranging access yourself.
- During the visit, you learn about the history and meaning of the nón lá and watch how locals shape, layer, and stitch the hats as part of a daily craft.
- Workshop materials with locals are provided as per option selected, giving you the chance to try a few simple steps of hat-making instead of just watching from the side.
- Guided tour options include an expert English or French-speaking guide on a private basis, who helps translate conversations with artisans and explains each step of the process.

Hue traditional cake cooking class
After the village, you join a local family or culinary artisan for a practical Hue cake cooking class and tasting.
