Many young people are excited to participate in the Thang Long - Hanoi Festival 2025 with the desire to contribute to spreading the beauty of national culture to international tourists.

At the Tay Nguyen exhibition booth, visitors can enjoy many "specialties" made from Ngoc Linh ginseng such as jam, wine, gummy candies or ginseng bird's nest.

The festival is an opportunity for artisans and skilled workers of the craft village to show off their exquisite craftsmanship, make handmade products right at their booths and share stories about the cultural values ​​hidden in each work.

With the theme "Heritage Convergence", the festival becomes a meeting point of cultural values ​​from three regions, where visitors can immerse themselves in art, fashion , painting exhibitions and culinary experiences for more than 2 weeks.

Not only attracting a large number of Vietnamese people, the Festival also makes international visitors excited by the impressive scale of organization and the sophistication in each traditional handicraft product.

From simple conical hats, under the hands of artisans, the Chuong village conical hat brand of Ms. Ta Thu Huong has left a strong impression with the motifs of people, culture, and landscapes of Vietnam, hand-painted with great care and meticulousness.

Artisan Do Thi Sang (Kim Son sedge craft village, Ninh Binh) shared that being able to pass on the values ​​of her ancestors is something she is always proud of.

Foreign visitors are impressed by the Vietnamese-style exhibition space with thatched roofs, bamboo tables, paper lanterns, etc., recreated realistically and closely.

At each booth, local people take on the role of “tour guides”, introducing typical products and telling cultural stories associated with each handicraft.

The stall of Kim Son sedge craft village (Ninh Binh) attracted attention with 100% handmade products that are both beautiful and highly applicable such as baskets, boxes, handbags, hats, fans...

Ha Thai lacquer products (Hong Van commune, Hanoi) impress with their vibrant colors, vivid patterns and cultural stories behind each motif.
