Phú Xuyên, Rural district in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Phú Xuyên is a rural district in Hanoi that spans a large area dominated by farmland and scattered settlements. The district includes multiple craft villages, residential zones, and a network of waterways and transportation routes that connect different parts.
The territory has been worked as an agricultural zone for centuries, developing into a center for various craft traditions along the way. In recent times it went through an administrative restructuring that reorganized how it is formally divided and managed.
The area is known for its craft villages where artisans continue to produce leather goods, textiles, and decorative items using traditional methods. These craft traditions remain central to how the community identifies itself and organizes its economic life.
The area is best explored using local transportation since it consists of scattered villages and farms spread across the territory. Regular bus connections from central Hanoi serve the craft villages, and early morning is the best time to visit when activity is at its peak.
The region is crossed by several rivers including sections of the Red River, which has shaped the area for ages. Additionally, a historic railway line runs through the territory connecting it to other parts of the country.
