Address: Son Dong Village, Hoai Duc district, Hanoi
Products: Handmade carved religious kits

Lying about 15km from Hanoi center, Son Dong traditional craft village (Hoai Duc, Hanoi) is known for its well-preserved cultural essences in folk sculptures. Throughout so many turbulences in the national history, Son Dong craft village remains the firse choice for those who seek for paralleled sentences, bas-reliefs, Buddhist statues or religious items… Son Dong village was founded following the evolutions of Vietnamese Buddhism. Nowadays in Son Dong, every household has at least 1 person who is skillful at lacquering and sculpture. Main materials employed by villagers to make Buddhist statues or religious kits are usually jackfruit wood, “doi” wood and in particular golden cored wood, which is light and precious (its life span can reach 500 years in good conditions). These types of wood should meet some strict standards and rules to be used. As a result, product quality is always guaranteed and products’ life span is frequenntly longer than that of products of other locations. Thanks to diligence and good skills, Son Dong craft village has undergone a series of positive changes.
