Quang Binh is a land blessed by nature with many scenic spots such as Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park, Son Doong cave system, Nhat Le beach, Da Nhay beach... Moreover, this locality is also home to many ethnic groups, creating a rich cultural blend. The diverse topography and population have led to the formation and development of many traditional craft villages in Quang Binh. Besides their economic value in providing income for the people, the products of these traditional craft villages also reflect the essence and cultural identity of each region.
For example, the fishing village of Cảnh Dương – a coastal area situated next to the picturesque Roòn River – is famous for its traditional crafts of fishing, fish sauce making, and dried seafood production. Here, visitors not only have the opportunity to learn about traditional crafts and the worship of the sea god, but also to enjoy the unique lullabies sung here.

The area along the Gianh River alone boasts famous craft villages such as Tan An rice paper village, Tho Ngoa conical hat village, Tho Don rattan weaving village, and Hoa Ninh blacksmithing village… It is from these craft villages that a treasure trove of folk songs, chants, and rhymes, along with a system of traditional festivals, emerged, bringing a rich cultural life.
