Bình Dương Province

Bình Dương sits just north of Hồ Chí Minh City and is one of Vietnam's fastest-growing industrial provinces - yet beneath the factory zones lies a rich heritage of lacquerware, ceramics, and traditional crafts brought by Teochew Chinese settlers centuries ago. The province's craft villages in Thủ Dầu Một and the ornate Chinese assembly halls of Bình Dương town offer a glimpse into southern Vietnam's artisan past. For solo travelers, it's an underrated half-day trip from Saigon into living craft history.
