Da Nang: Rice Paper-Making in Tuy Loan Ancient Village

Discover Tuy Loan’s 500-year-old rice paper craft, an Intangible Cultural Heritage, in the fresh morning air. Join artisans to steam, dry, roast, and taste this crispy local delicacy.
Begin your early-morning journey with a short drive from Da Nang to Tuý Loan Village, recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. Known for its unique rice paper made from a blend of rice, sesame, and local spices, Tuý Loan has preserved this craft for over five centuries.

Upon arrival, stroll around the village’s communal house, a gathering place rich in history and tradition. Your guide will share insights into local life before taking you to an artisan’s home.

Under the guidance of a skilled artisan, prepare the batter, spread it thinly over the steaming pot, and watch it transform into delicate rice paper. Try enhancing the flavor with roasted sesame, ginger, or garlic.

Experience the village’s signature step – roasting over glowing charcoal – which gives the rice paper its light, crispy texture and smoky aroma. Join in turning the rice paper until it’s perfectly golden.

Relax with a cup of hot tea and savor your freshly made rice paper in the cool morning air, while listening to stories about the village’s proud heritage.
