Vietnam’s silk and brocade in Hoi An charms visitors
PANO - The International Silk - Brocade Festival 2017, organized in the Hoi An silk village in the central coastal province of Quang Nam, has seen the participation of seven Asian countries and 12 Vietnam’s ancient silk and brocade handicraft villages.
The festival, the third of this kind, aimed to honor artisans, traditional silk and brocade handicraft villages; promote silk and brocade products to international visitors and global silk producers; and expand markets of traditional silk and brocade products.
The Hoi An silk village, where silk has been produced and exported over the past 300 years, is expected to be a bridge bringing Vietnam's silk to the world through activities of honoring traditional silk; and to be a commercial silk distribution center of Vietnam.
People’s Army Newspaper would like to introduce some images of the festival in the Hoi An silk village.
