Ninh Phuoc: the land that tells its story through the rhythm of looms and the breath of clay
While pristine beaches call out to lively souls, the Ninh Phuoc region, stretching to the south, serves as a peaceful haven for those enchanted by indigenous culture. Join Cam Ranh International Terminal (CRTC) to uncover a destination of serene beauty, where the unhurried pace of life narrates millennia-old heritage tales.
The first touchpoint on this vibrant journey is the sun-kissed, fruit-laden vineyards at local estates like Ba Moi or Hoang Yen. Moving beyond mere sightseeing, visitors can step into the shoes of real farmers, using specialized scissors to carefully harvest grape clusters without bruising the stems. This hands-on experience extends to learning the meticulous craft of traditional wine fermentation and tasting a rich spectrum of products, from fresh grapes to concentrated nectar. Leaving the agricultural sweetness behind, the journey transitions to Bau Truc Pottery Village—one of the oldest pottery villages in Southeast Asia and a recognized national intangible cultural heritage. Here, clay is not shaped on a potter's wheel but molded entirely by the artisans' graceful hands and fired in the open air, resulting in completely unique, one-of-a-kind masterpieces. The clever integration of cultural displays with hands-on pottery workshops not only delights tourists but also serves as a sustainable strategy for the local community to engage the younger generation in preserving this traditional craft.
Each Bau Truc pottery piece is a unique masterpiece, deeply imbued with the breath of clay and the traditional open-air firing techniques of Cham artisans.
Continuing the heritage melody is the rhythmic clacking of looms at My Nghiep Weaving Village. The creation of each Cham brocade is an artistic endeavor demanding immense patience, spanning from cotton processing and natural dyeing to weaving intricate patterns that symbolize the universe and the cycle of life. By trying their hand at the loom and feeling the difficulty of keeping the patterns perfectly aligned, visitors gain a profound appreciation for the weeks of dedication poured in by the weavers. Consequently, taking home a woven piece transforms from a simple souvenir transaction into a deep gesture of respect for the local artisans' talent and hard work.

After a fulfilling series of cultural immersions, the My Nghiep lotus pond emerges as a perfectly deliberate, quiet pause to conclude the trip. Strolling along rustic bamboo paths just above the water during the gentle morning or late afternoon light, visitors can leisurely sip lotus tea while listening to stories about the life cycle of this elegant flower. The Ninh Phuoc region is the beautiful embodiment of the "slow travel" philosophy, offering genuine emotions from a land that knows how to tell its own stories through its daily rhythm. From Cam Ranh International Airport, we are always proud to accompany you and open doors to countless magnificent cultural journeys—serene yet exceptionally brilliant.
