Discover the traditional craft villages of the Xo Dang people in Mang Den

in PhotoFeed2 months ago

Mang Den is not only famous for its wild natural beauty but is also the cradle of long-standing traditional craft villages of the Xo Dang and Mo Nam ethnic minorities. The brocade weaving, basketry and vermicelli making from red rice are not only a means of livelihood but also carry within them the cultural identity and pride of the whole community.

Each brocade fabric is a work of art. The brilliant patterns are woven by the talented hands of Xo Dang women, telling stories about nature, life and ethnic culture. This is not just a product, but also the soul and love of the weaver placed in each thread.

Red rice – a typical agricultural product of the Xo Dang and Mo Nam people, is processed into soft, fragrant vermicelli. Red rice vermicelli has a unique flavor of the mountains and forests, and is both a traditional dish and a source of pride for the people in the region.
