For generations, the Nung people have used indigo plants to dye fabric, creating the distinctive indigo hue that characterizes their traditional costumes. Producing a rich, lasting colour requires numerous steps, from growing the plants and soaking them to extracting the dye, dyeing, drying and polishing the fabric. Each stage demands patience, meticulous care and skills passed down through generations.

Every year, from late August to October, the Tay ethnic community in Thuan Hoa Commune comes alive with the rhythmic sound of pestles pounding young green rice flakes, a traditional delicacy closely associated with autumn in the area. Each green, chewy grain of young green rice flakes embodies not only the gifts of nature but also the dedication and meticulous care of local farmers at every stage of production.
