This will be a trusted address for tourists inside and outside the province as well as local people to find and buy high-quality products, imbued with Nghe identity.

Third, is the area for displaying counterfeit goods - warning and educating the community.

This activity aims to help people and tourists recognize and distinguish genuine goods from counterfeit goods, raise vigilance and protect the rights of consumers, contributing to the correction of market order in the province.
