Everything changes rapidly in modern life. In Tả Phìn commune, Lào Cai province, the Dao people have preserved the centuries-old art of natural fabric dyeing. Using forest plants, they create deep indigo hues by hand, a quiet craft that carries the spirit, identity, and memory of the mountains.
The Hùng Kings Commemoration is a significant occasion for Vietnamese people, a time to honour their founding ancestors and reflect on a shared sense of origin. Recognised by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity since 2012, the Worship of the Hùng Kings holds an important place in the country’s cultural life.
Hùng Kings Commemoration has gone beyond borders. Thousands of overseas Vietnamese from 50 countries and territories on April 26 gathered for a shared Hùng Kings Commemoration programme called "Global Vietnamese National Ancestors Day". The event aims to connect people with their roots and promote Vietnamese cultural values around the world.
