About this audio guide
This guide to Thanh Ha Terracotta Park opens with a local superstition: potters here will not sell you the first pot from a new kiln firing. It traces that rule back to families who trace their kilns some five hundred years to potters who resettled along the Thu Bon River, and to the founders' festival still held each year at the nearby Nam Dieu shrine, where a palanquin carries an ancestral tablet through the village lanes toward the shrine steps. Every glazed jar and roof tile in the park descends from that same inherited debt to the craft's unnamed founders. Look for the palanquin route marked through the lanes outside the park.
