Vietnamese representative Dieu Linh has unveiled the Mong ethnic costume which she will wear for the national costume competition at the Miss Tourism Queen International 2018 pageant in Thailand.

According the Vietnamese representative, apart from Ao dai, Vietnam has a rich variety of other colourful outfits to be introduced to the world, and the traditional clothing of the Mong ethnic group are among them. For this reason, she selected the outfit, which takes inspiration from the traditional costumes of the Mong ethnic minority group, for introduction at the international playground.

The Mong ethnic costume is designed by Ngo Manh Dong Dong. Brocade is a key material, and it features hand embroidered designs by Mong ethnic people from Ha Giang Province.

The Mong ethnic costume is designed to allow Linh to show off her wonderful figure for the pageant.

The shirt is inspired by the wedding costumes of Mong ethnic people.

The outfit is complimented with a hand embroidered hat and shoes.

The entire outfit, including silver necklace and earrings, weighs more than 30kg.

The costume was made over 2 months by 26 artisans.

Dieu Linh modeled the costume for a photoshoot as the first activity of the Miss Tourism Queen International 2018 pageant on May 9.

Bringing art to remote areas - promoting ethnic culture

Hoa Binh city - Vibrant community activities at cultural houses

Building a cultural conservation area for Muong ethnic group in Luy Ai hamlet

Phong Phu commune, Tan Lac district of Hoa Binh province, is widely regarded as the cultural heartland of the Muong ethnic group. Among its many traditional communities, Luy Ai hamlet (formerly Ai hamlet) stands out as a rare location where the customs and way of life of the Muong Bi people remain largely intact.

Truong Kha temple festival celebrates Muong cultural heritage

The Truong Kha temple festival, a distinctive cultural event held every three years in Vu Ban township, Lac Son district, returned recently with vibrant rituals and folk traditions of the Muong people. Located next to the Buoi River in the Muong Trao fields, the Truong Kha Temple is dedicated to the three Kun Dol deities, revered for teaching farming techniques, irrigation, weaving, and protecting the harvest.

Hoa Binh city residents enjoy upgraded cultural houses

The demand for spaces serving community activities of residents in various areas across Hoa Binh city has been satisfied as local cultural houses now feature modern, spacious facilities thanks to the effective implementation of Resolution No. 49/NQ-HDND issued on December 28, 2021 by the city People's Council, which approved the plan for reorganising, converting, and allocating land for the construction, repair, and expansion of cultural houses in Hoa Binh’s villages and residential areas until 2025.

Enhancing cultural and spiritual life in remote and ethnic minority areas

At the end of May, the Hoa Binh Provincial Ethnic Arts Troupe organized a series of performances for residents in Region 2 and Region 3 communes across the province. Bringing art to ethnic communities in remote, isolated, and especially disadvantaged areas has become a meaningful activity. These are not merely artistic performances but also journeys to disseminate cultural values, enrich spiritual life, and contribute to preserving the cultural identity of ethnic minorities.
