Thua Thien-Hue to host international conference on conical hats

Participants at the event will discuss the current situation and various solutions for the sustainable development of conical hats in the locality.

The event will therefore provide a chance for craftsmen to meet and exchange information about the craft of conical hat making.

Advertising Hue conical hats and seeking measures aimed at improving vocational training for local practitioners are set to be hot topics during the conference.

The international conference is jointly organised by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF) Vietnam and the Hue Conical Hat Association, and is expected to attract plenty of domestic and foreign intellectuals and craftsmen.

The craft of conical hat making has been practiced in Thua Thien-Hue for centuries. It is still well preserved today in Tay Ho village of Phu Ho commune, My Lam village of Phu My commune, and the villages of Phu Cam, Phuoc Vinh, Doc So, Trieu Tay, and Huong So in Hue.

Craftsmen residing in the village sell millions of conical hats to the market each year, not only meeting the needs of local people, but also providing an attractive souvenir for visitors to the province.

Along with the typical three-layer conical hats made from palm leaves, local artisans use leaves from the lotus and bamboo as materials to produce conical hats.

Things Canadian Travelers Must Know Before Planning a Trip to Vietnam

While Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are the largest cities in Vietnam, the central region offers unique experiences that cannot be found elsewhere. Digital nomads from Vancouver often visit Da Nang, located in central Vietnam, during the winter season. This is not surprising given the city’s attractions and amenities. Many travelers prefer to visit Vietnam between March and April, as the rainfall is less frequent and the temperatures are milder during this time of the year. Vietnam has a number of popular sightseeing spots that should not be missed. In Hanoi, visitors can immerse themselves in the city’s rich art scene, explore historic temples, and indulge in local street food. The city also offers a mix of experiences, with plenty of opportunities to learn about the culture or enjoy a relaxing drink at a rooftop bar or a laid-back backpacker bar. Ha Long Bay is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Vietnam. The bay features over 1,500 islands and islets, with towering limesto...
