Despite lacking formal training in filmmaking and editing, the content produced by Trang A Vu, born in 1999, from Ban Moi village, Van Chan commune, still attracts viewers' attention thanks to its authenticity and relatable nature.
Anh Vu said: “Starting to build the channel in July 2025, I encountered many difficulties during the content creation process due to a lack of experience and technical skills; completing a video of about 1.5 - 2 minutes often took more than a day. However, through the process, I gradually accumulated experience and improved the quality of my work.”
According to Mr. Vu, the channel's content mainly focuses on showcasing life in the highlands, especially the landscapes and culture of the Suoi Giang area. Images of ancient tea hills, misty mountain scenery, and traditional markets have received considerable attention from viewers.
Choosing to tell stories about his hometown through social media, Giàng A Cánh, from Pang Cáng village, proactively invested in cameras and drones and taught himself video editing techniques online to gradually improve his skills. For him, self-learning not only helps him master the equipment but also creates products that are relevant to the local context.
"Some videos have garnered hundreds of thousands, even millions of views, which motivates me to continue maintaining and developing the channel," Cánh shared.
As their skills improve, many young people pay more attention to content, focusing on exploring the unique values of their local area such as daily life, cuisine , customs, and the landscapes of the highlands.
As one of the most influential figures on social media with nearly 1 million followers, Song Thi Mai, a Mong ethnic woman born in 1998 in Suoi Giang village, is gradually asserting her role in promoting the image of her homeland in the digital space. Her content mainly revolves around tea plants, traditional tea-making, and the daily life of the Mong people.
Through short videos, images of Suoi Giang with its ancient tea hills, local customs and traditions, and daily life are vividly conveyed, helping to bring highland culture closer to a wider audience.
Mai shared: "I started this channel in late 2023, initially just thinking of recording moments from my daily life. But when I received a lot of positive feedback, especially from people far away who love the scenery and people here, I gained more motivation to continue."
According to Ms. Mai, maintaining the content isn't always easy, as travel conditions, weather, and family commitments all affect the filming and editing process. However, the viewers' interest has helped her persevere, not only to spread the image of her hometown but also to promote local products.
According to Ms. Mai, some videos have helped more people learn about Suoi Giang Shan Tuyet tea, and some customers have even sought to buy the product or wanted to visit the location to experience it firsthand.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Ha, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Van Chan commune, said: "We highly appreciate the proactive and creative spirit of young people in utilizing digital platforms to introduce the culture, landscapes, and distinctive products of the locality, contributing to promoting the image of Suoi Giang and Van Chan. In the future, we will continue to pay attention to and create conditions for young people to play a role in digital transformation, especially in the field of promoting tourism and distinctive agricultural products."
In reality, sharing stories about one's hometown in the digital space is becoming an effective method for promoting local culture and image. In the context of integration, this is a way to preserve and promote traditional values through a new approach.
However, for this activity to develop sustainably, it needs support in terms of skills, content guidance, and media knowledge for young creators. Organizing training courses and building a content creation community at the local level will contribute to improving product quality. In addition, authenticity must continue to be maintained. Only when content accurately reflects life, respects cultural identity, and tells stories of the homeland in the digital space can it build trust and achieve lasting impact.
Through authentic and emotionally rich videos, young people in Van Chan are contributing to promoting the image of their homeland in the digital space, bringing the culture of the highlands closer to the community.
