Having extensive experience with road trips with young children, Jay Quân and Chúng Huyền Thanh's family had memorable experiences on this journey with their Mazda CX-30 companion.
With a focus on comfort, technology, and a love for family road trips, the Mazda CX-30 SUV is an ideal choice. Passengers will enjoy a comfortable interior with premium leather seats, along with convenient features such as dual-zone automatic climate control, a sunroof, and a power tailgate.

Sharing his experience of driving long distances with young children, Jay Quân said: "My family drives around a lot, and my two children are very excited throughout the trip because they love seeing the sea and mountains. This is like a habit for my family whenever we have free time, especially when driving on weekdays with wide, open roads. For families with young children driving long distances, I think you just need to prepare enough personal items for the children for the trip. Many families who have never traveled far before are hesitant because they worry the children will get tired, but in reality, the children are the most excited and energetic. Parents just need to plan ahead for the children's rest and meals, and they might even have twice the energy of the parents."
Along the way, the members experienced the high-end entertainment and convenience features designed for families.
The interior of the Mazda CX-30 is luxurious and fully equipped.
Continuing their journey, the Amazing Tour 9 group traveled to Bau Truc pottery village in Phuoc Dan town, Ninh Phuoc district, Ninh Thuan province. This village is famous as a long-standing traditional craft village of the Cham people in Ninh Thuan, known for its unique pottery products made using traditional handcrafted methods without the use of a potter's wheel. After being shaped, the pottery is decorated and engraved to add a unique touch to the product. The patterns, though simple, still possess a very special charm.
After experiencing pottery making at Bau Truc, Chung Huyen Thanh shared with Travellive: "This isn't the first time my husband and I have experienced pottery making, but this time it felt very special. The pottery making here is much more manual than in other places. The artisans don't use a potter's wheel; instead, they use hand-molding techniques to shape the pottery. These steps require a high level of skill and meticulousness from the artisans to create unique and exquisite pottery pieces."
Bau Truc pottery is popular with tourists because of its rustic, simple beauty and strong Cham cultural identity.
In many other places, people use a potter's wheel to make pottery; however, the artisans in Bau Truc pottery village don't need a potter's wheel but can still create incredibly high-quality and beautiful products.
The defining characteristic of Bau Truc pottery village is that its products are entirely handcrafted using a unique firing method found only here. Bau Truc pottery artisans primarily use their hands to mold various shapes such as vases and earthenware pots. The raw materials used in Bau Truc pottery are sourced from the banks of the Quao River, where the clay is pliable, smooth, and possesses many special properties. The decorative motifs on Bau Truc pottery often reflect the rich Cham cultural heritage.
Visitors to Bau Truc pottery village can participate in pottery-making experiences with Cham artisans. This is an interesting experience that helps visitors better understand the culture and traditional pottery-making techniques of the Cham people and create their own unique pottery products.
Each Bau Truc pottery product possesses its own unique cultural and aesthetic value.
