On 14 to 16 January 2019, the Ly Son – Sa Huynh Geopark took parts in the first Vietnam Brocade Festival hosted by Daknong Province.
Together with other three geoparks from Daknong, Ha Giang and Cao Bang, the Ly Son – Sa Huynh Geopark introduced typical features of heritages to visitors, including publications, photos and souvenirs. These provided basic understanding on geopark, a concept is rather new to most of the Vietnamese people.
The event organized the first time in Vietnam aimed to build awareness and further promote values of traditional brocade handicraft of 54 ethnic groups in Vietnam. This special cultural festival was attended by many delegations nationwide as well as akin ethnic groups from Indonesia, Cambodia and Laos.
Apart from promoting the geoparks, this is also a good chance for geopark teams to exchange lessons and good practices among the network.
