The story

Van Phuc Silk Village Culture Week in Ha Dong

Each November, Van Phuc Ward in Hanoi's Ha Dong district hosts its Traditional Village Tourism and Trade Cultural Week, a signature event since 2013 that promotes the area's centuries-old silk weaving craft. The week combines a formal opening ceremony, festival programming, and trade promotion for local silk producers and craft villages.

Van Phuc's reputation as a silk village long predates the modern tourism industry that now sustains part of its economy.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The Cultural Week distinguishes itself by pairing heritage promotion with hands-on competition: alongside the formal Ceremony and Festival segments, organizers run a silk pattern design contest, a tour guide competition, and a youth talent search focused on village tourism, drawing in a new generation of participants rather than only showcasing looms to visitors

02

The mystery stays covered

Van Phuc's signature umbrella-lined street is dressed with additional lights and lanterns for the week, and each edition carries its own theme, such as 2024's Ha Dong Silk Village - Convergence of Elegance, tying programming to the village's identity as one of Vietnam's oldest silk-weaving communities
