In recent years, many communities in Viet Nam's northern highlands have chosen to draw on their natural landscapes, traditional crafts and customary ways of life to develop tourism products and tell the stories of their local cultures.
With its coastline, islands and diverse landscapes, Khánh Hòa has become one of Việt Nam's leading tourism destinations, particularly for international visitors.
Through interactive artworks created by French artist group Scenocosme, visitors can generate sounds, lights and movements, gaining a deeper appreciation of the relationship between humans and nature.
The city is home to nearly 70 craft villages and traditional craft villages, along with around 3,000 craft establishments. Many of these have become popular tourist attractions, including the Non Nước stone carving village, Nam Ô fish sauce village, Thanh Hà pottery village, Kim Bồng carpentry village, and Trà Quế vegetable village. Together, they welcome millions of visitors each year for sightseeing and hands-on cultural experiences.
From folk rituals and traditional games to craft workshops and ethnic performances, the Vietnam National Village for Ethnic Culture and Tourism is inviting visitors to discover the living traditions of Việt Nam's diverse communities through a month-long programme of immersive cultural experiences.
