Long ago, the Kon River was believed to be a sacred lifeline of the Cham people. Along its flow, towers rose from red brick, built with a technique that still puzzles architects today. This half day experience follows that ancestral path into Binh Dinh’s cultural heartland, where Champa history, strong local rice wine, and royal craft traditions still live on.
Begin at Banh It Cham Towers from the 11th to 12th century, one of the most impressive Cham complexes in the region. With your guide, uncover the storey of the Champa Kingdom, Hindu influences, and the hidden symbolism shaped into the towers’ lines, layers, and sacred orientation.
Next, step into Bau Da Village, home of Binh Dinh’s most famous rice wine. Watch traditional distillation using clay pots and time tested methods, then enjoy a guided tasting of three local wines, including the legendary Bau Da spirit at 50 percent ABV, known for its bold aroma and smooth, warming finish.
Finish in Phu Gia Conical Hat Village, where artisans craft hats with a refined structure and remarkable durability. These hats were once favoured by royal court officials and noble families for their elegance, strength, and prestige. Meet the makers, learn how each layer is formed with precision, and see how this heritage craft is passed down through generations.
This is not a checklist tour. It is a storey driven morning of architecture, spirit, and craft, all woven into one memorable journey.
