For Manh Khang, brocade is not simply a handicraft product but also a work of art, a precious cultural treasure of the Central Highlands people. Each pattern has its own meaning, closely linked to the lives and beliefs of the people. “Maintaining and developing the art of brocade weaving helps preserve the cultural values and unique identities of ethnic groups,” he shared.

To create a complete brocade, the artisan must go through many meticulous steps. From choosing natural cotton fibers, dyeing them with leaves, to stretching the fibers onto the loom and skillfully threading each thread back and forth. Each stitch contains the artisan’s passion and love for the traditional craft.

“Anyone who has ever set foot in the Central Highlands will surely never forget the colorful brocades. Each pattern on it is like a fairy tale about life, about people and about the soul of this red basalt land. For me, every trip to the Central Highlands is a journey of discovery and admiration for the artistic masterpieces created by nature and people,” he confided.

Sharing with Thanh Nien , the male MC said this was his third time coming to Dak Lak . He was impressed by the majestic landscape and was also attracted by the story of the brocade fabrics. "A beautiful and sophisticated brocade woven by hand takes 1 month to weave. For me, preserving, promoting and appreciating the value of brocade is not only preserving a craft but also a way to express love and pride in national culture," the male MC shared.

During his journey, Manh Khang was impressed by the water worship rituals. Every year, during the dry season or after the harvest, people often hold ceremonies to thank the gods for providing abundant, clean water sources... He shared: “The water worship ritual is a reminder to protect water resources. Water is not only an indispensable part of life but also has profound spiritual and cultural values, encouraging the community to respect and protect nature.”
