Visit Phu Loi Prison, a historic site from the 1950s–60s. Walk through surviving blocks and cells while your guide shares stories of the harsh conditions endured by prisoners and the resilience of those who lived through this period. End the cultural journey at a traditional pottery kiln that has preserved Binh Duong’s craft for over a century. Watch artisans shape, fire, and glaze iconic southern-style jars (lu). Guests may have the chance to interact with the artisans and learn about traditional kiln techniques. Note on Authenticity: As this is a genuine, working kiln rather than a tourist attraction, access to the workshop floor is subject to the artisans' production schedule. Please note that the kiln is typically quiet on weekends and public holidays. Should the artisans be away during your visit, we will transition to an equally captivating alternative site that showcases the rich craft heritage of the region.
