"200-year-old rice paper village busy preparing for Tet"

From dawn to dusk, local villagers work tirelessly to ensure batches of cakes are ready for the Tet market.

About 60 households in the village are known to maintain the craft of rice paper making.

Tet is the busiest time of the year, when village households produce a wide range of flavoured rice paper, from plain and salted to sweetened and coconut.

Villagers are now racing against time to complete each step so the cakes can be delivered to traders on schedule.

Making a rice paper sheet requires many meticulous steps which require the skillfulness and patience.

A bustling atmosphere prevails in the village with just two weeks to go until Tet.

The craft village which has existed for over 200 years is now entering its peak season of the year.

Upon arriving at the craft village, the aroma of rice flour and coconut rice paper fills the air throughout the village and its surroundings.

Rice paper is not only a means of livelihood, but also a source of pride for a craft that has endured for more than 200 years.

Quality rice paper is expected to be smooth and crispy, with a satisfying crunch when bitten, yet soft and chewy when dipped in water.

Thuan Hung rice paper has a very unique flavour found nowhere else.

Each type of cake also has many different sizes, offering customers a wide range of choices.

Rice paper making of the village has been recognised as national intangible cultural heritage by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

The village has also become a tourism destination for visitors who love to explore the rice paper making recipe.
