Dao people at the foot of Yen Tu mountain
The majority of the Dao people in Uong Bi concentrate in the mountainous region of Yen Tu in Thuong Yen Cong Commune at the foot of Yen Tu. They have recently paid much attention to the preservation and development of traditional cultural values.
At the village of Khe Su 2, a small workshop of embroidery and weaving of Dao people's belts was established by Dao Thanh Y people a few years ago.
A Community Cultural House built in 2016 has become a venue for locals to gather, sing “pa dung” songs (love songs of the Dao people) and teach the young to embroider in a conventional manner.
The preservation and development of traditional cultural values has contributed to promoting the spiritual and cultural life within the community, creating motivation for the Dao people at Thuong Yen Cong commune to develop their economy and lead better lives.
