Preserving cultural heritage of Thanh Y Dao in Quang La highlands
Amid the mountains and forests of Quang La (Quang Ninh Province), the Thanh Y Dao community continues to preserve traditional cultural values passed down through generations. From dances and love-exchange songs to every stitch on brocade fabrics, each cultural element is not only a memory of the ethnic community but also a resource for strengthening its identity and promoting sustainable development.
