Residents of Vo Tranh Commune taking part in arranging the artistic teapot-shaped model on the tea hill of Goc Gao Hamlet, using more than 1,000 conical leaf hats

This is the opening activity in the event series “Experience Vo Tranh - Imprint of the Tea Land, a One-Year Journey of Building Reach and Development,” running from now until June 30, aiming to promote tea culture, develop community-based tourism, and honor the locality's distinctive cultural values.

At the program, more than 1,000 people joined together to arrange the artistic teapot-shaped model using conical leaf hats. The model was designed in a stylized form, carrying images symbolizing the Vo Tranh tea-growing area and the locality's distinctive tea culture. The highlight of the event was the Tac Xinh performance - a traditional folk art form of the San Chay ethnic minority. In it, 100 members of the San Chay ethnic minority in traditional costumes played the core role, together with a large number of officials, union members, militia forces, teachers, and students who took part in the performance in a unified formation.

Through the activity, the Organizing Committee hopes to spread the spirit of community solidarity and help preserve and promote the traditional cultural values of the San Chay ethnic group, while also promoting the image of the Vo Tranh tea-growing area and boosting the development of community-based tourism and the local economy.

According to the plan, within the framework of the event “Experience Vo Tranh - Imprint of the Tea Land, a One-Year Journey of Building Reach and Development,” the locality will hold a range of activities such as hands-on experiences in specialty tea-growing areas; building a tea-culture space; the photo contest “Colors of the Tea Region”; a logo design contest for Vo Tranh Commune; the review and recognition of outstanding traditional tea-craft villages; the review and recognition of “bright, green, clean, beautiful, and civilized” roads; and the contest “Tea Land Hamlet Girls”…

Through this rich and distinctive series of activities, the locality not only helps preserve and promote its traditional cultural values but also creates opportunities to promote the potential and strengths of Vo Tranh's tea, community-based tourism, and people. This will gradually build the image of a distinctive tea-growing area into an attractive destination, helping boost socio-economic development and improve the lives of local residents.
