Naturally, Ms. Yen began learning to make this breakfast dish. Initially, it was just for her family's consumption, but gradually she opened her own shop to sell to her neighbors, and now, Ms. Yen's steamed rice roll shop in the Old Town has captivated many tourists visiting the Dong Van Karst Plateau Global Geopark.

As night falls, the Old Town of Dong Van is filled with the rich aroma of thang den cakes. Thang den stalls can be found throughout Ha Giang province, but they are only sold during the cold season. In Dong Van Old Town, however, thang den is sold year-round because the air here remains cool even in summer, at night.
