Archaeology handicrafts and science and technology sites to visit Central

Towards the peninsula, we can distinguish the fishing port and the photogenic multicoloured boats. Turning your back to the port and following Nguyên Huê Avenue then An Duong Vuong for about 2 km, you arrive on the Queen's beach, the former private beach of Nam Phuong, the wife of H.M. Bao Dai, the last emperor of Vietnam. As shark attacks have been reported off the coast of Quy Nhon, swimmers are advised to check with local authorities and exercise caution, including avoiding swimming alone in remote areas.

The village was founded in the 18th century by Huynh Ba Quat, a craftsman from Thanh Hoa province. In 1990, the municipality banned artisans from sourcing raw materials from the Non Nuoc mountains. Manufacturers are now buying stone from other provinces. Some statuettes are carved by hand, others are obtained by moulding, with agglomerated marble powder. Monumental pieces of monumental dimensions, carved from imported marble, constitute an open-air museum in the Vietnamese taste of today.

The pottery village of Thanh Ha, a few kilometers west of Hôi An, was founded in the ^16th century by families from the north of the country. Its inhabitants produced clay pottery for export when the town was an important port visited by foreign merchants. Today, 35 families still perpetuate the craft tradition of their ancestors, producing pieces that make excellent souvenirs for travellers. Pottery courses are also offered by local craftsmen.
