• LỤA VIỆT - Silk is a natural protein fiber derived from the cocoon of the silkworm, and certain types can be woven into textiles. Approximately 3,000 silkworms consuming 104 kilograms of mulberry leaves are needed to produce two pounds (one kilogram) of silk; this process takes over three days. The result is a lightweight, soft, and highly absorbent material, making it an ideal fabric for warmer climates.
  Silk was once considered a luxury, accessible only to noble families. Today, the fabric is widely used, and beautiful silk products are affordably available to everyone. Be cautious of purchasing silk at unusually low prices, as it may be of questionable quality.
  A professional silk manufacturing enterprise supplies silk not only to customers but also to designers in the Vietnamese fashion market and internationally. It exports fabric to Korea, Japan, Thailand, Denmark, France, England, and the U.S., ensuring authenticity.

The tunnels’ location was of significant strategic importance: they are at the end of the infamous Ho Chi Minh Trail and within striking distance of southern Vietnam’s capital. Initial construction began in 1948 when the Viet Minh needed a place to hide from French air attacks, and by 1965, the tunnel complex was estimated to consist of 200 km of tunnels. It included hospitals, schools, meeting rooms, kitchens, and sleeping quarters. Life was challenging for the inhabitants, and to protect against outside intruders, booby traps were laid throughout the complex.

• SƠN MÀI QUANG MINH - Handicraft factory: The high quality of resin from Vietnamese lacquer trees, especially those in the north, was a crucial factor in the rapid development of this art form.
  Decorated lacquer statues, panels, boxes, and trays can still be seen at many temples and pagodas.
  Over the centuries, the use of lacquerware extended to larger items such as wooden chairs and tables, decorated with engraved, painted, inlaid mother-of-pearl designs.
  By the 18th century, important centers for lacquerware production emerged in both the north and south.
  As part of their strategy to open Vietnamese handicrafts to new foreign markets, the French introduced formal training programs in lacquerware at the School of Indigenous Arts near Saigon from 1901 and in Hanoi from 1930.
  Since then, lacquerware has continued to develop into one of the mainstays of the Vietnamese handicraft industry, both domestically and internationally. Today’s most popular items include vases, jewel cases, desk sets, trays, and vertical blinds.
