Bau Truc Village

Phan Rang & Thap Cham


This Cham village is known for its pottery and you’ll see several family shops in front of the mud and bamboo houses. It's around 4km northwest of Phan Rang's centre, off the main road to the Cham temples. The Cham Cultural Centre has set up music classes here so villagers can learn to play traditional Cham musical instruments (drums and the saranai flute). A heritage trail is also being developed.
