A visit to a traditional craft village

Nick: There are so many pieces of pottery here, Phong. Do your grandparents make all of them?

Phong: They can't because we have lots of products. They make some and other people make the rest.

Nick: As far as I know, BatTrang is one of the most famous traditional craft villages of Ha Noi, right?

Phong: Right. My grandmother says it's about 700 years old.

Mi: Wow! When did your grandparents set up this workshop?

Phong: My great-grandparents started it, not my grandparents. Then my grandparents took over the business. All the artisans here are my aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Mi: I see. Your village is also a place of interest of Ha Noi, isn't it?

Phong: Yes. People come here to buy things for their house. Another attraction is they can make pottery themselves in workshops.

Nick: That must be a memorable experience.

Phong: In Viet Nam there are lots of craft villages like Bat Trang. Have you ever been to any others?
