From VFMD:

Friends of Vietnam Heritage (FVH) runs informative trips to handicraft villages which are a bit different from other village outings. We meet the locals and artisan families, and try our hand at a craft. Hopefully you will discover something new. Thạch Xá Bamboo Dragonfly Village & Tây Phương Pagoda excursion. This craft village is famous for its wonderfully famous coloured balancing bamboo dragonflies. Originally, made for children, the trade has grown into one of Vietnam’s leading crafts. We meet the first bamboo dragonfly-making artisan, learn how they are made and we decorate our own dragonflies. In the afternoon we visit ancient Tây Phương Pagoda with its amazing carvings and reliefs.
