Such beautiful hats ever. Unforgettable weekends away from hustle and bustle of the city life. Love people and social life here

How beautiful Chuong village is! My friends took these pics and I already asked them to post here. Ok! Let’s talk about Chuong village. Chuong village is a traditional handy craft village and it has a national and international reputation for its product - Nón Lá (conical hat). Both men and women can wear conical hats in a rainy day or even a hot day but people (foreigners and Vietnamese as well) are used to know it as a traditional symbol of Vietnamese women. Talking about how much time we can make a Nón Lá, it depends on what kind of hats we make. But I normally make a good quality hat in at least a day, from early morning to evening. And then we sell them in the local market. The local market doesn’t open every day, just in a few days per month. If you wanna go to the market, you should get up early and then go there at around 6-7 am. Believe me, if you come later, you cannot see what really happens in the market :D I was born and grew up here and I have taught how to make a hat since I was 5, so I have already had 20-year-experience making a hat, not too much as older people but I absolutely can show you who are the best makers, how to make a quality hat and lots of other interesting things in my village. I post my review here not to earn money, I just wanna introduce my village to the world, meet new people (Vietnamese and foreigners), show them how beautiful countryside villages in Vietnam are, and improve my English (sorry it’s a bit personal). And I do it for free in the weekend because I have to work in the day during the week. But don’t worry, just contact me, if I’m free on the week days, I’d like to be your tour guide :) Hope you guys have a amazing trip to Chuong village!
