- SƠN MÀI & NHÀ HÀNG LÀNG VIỆT - LANG VIET LACQUER & RESTAURANT - Before visiting the tunnels, enjoy a visit to a unique workshop where art and humanity converge. Here, observe the meticulous process of crafting traditional Vietnamese lacquerware.
This location is particularly special as many talented artisans are locals with disabilities, including those affected by Agent Orange (a lasting impact of the war). Watching them transform eggshells and mother-of-pearl into stunning artworks is both humbling and inspiring.
