Ha Noi, the capital of Vietnam, is one of the most interesting destinations for domestic and foreign tourists. Among many attractions are the craft villages. There are about 1500 handicraft villages recognized in Viet Nam, and about 300 are traditional handicraft villages. The heartland of craft villages is the Red River Delta, and particularly around Ha Noi. Ha Noi is home to more than 45 percent of the nation’s total number.
How were those craft villages set up? Years ago, after harvest time, Vietnamese villagers used natural materials, such as clay, bamboo, wood, and some certain kinds of plants and leaves to make craft things for their family’s daily needs. Gradually, they made their handicrafts more and more perfect, and then sold them to others around the village to get extra income. The ways to make handicrafts have been passed down from generation to generation. Family members, relatives, and friends work together. Those artisans never compete but help one another to do better business. Each craft village has its trademark name of handicraft products.
The government has organized marketing offices, agencies, and design centers to introduce handicrafts to everyone so that the artisans can sell their products. Today, many ceramic, porcelain, bamboo, rattan, wood, and lacquer products from handicraft villages are sold as souvenirs throughout the country.

Sedge Mat Craft Village In Tien Giang Province
In the Mekong Delta., Long Dinh village of Tien Giang province is famous for its traditional craft of weaving flowered mats. The mat's high quality makes them popular domestically, and they are also exported to markets worldwide including Korea, Japan and America.
In spite of its well-established reputation for this traditional craft, mat weaving only started here some 50 years ago. It was first introduced by immigrants from Kim Son, a famous mat weaving village in the northern province of Ninh Binh. However, the technique of weaving sedge mats in Long Dinh, as compared with other places in the South, is somewhat different. Long Dinh branded mats are thicker and have more attractive colours and pattems.
Weaving sedge mats is similar to growing rice. Long Dinh mat production mainly occurs during the dry season, from January to April. Weavers have to work their hardest in May and June, otherwise, when the rainy season starts in July, they will have to put off finishing their products till the next dry season. No matter how much work it requires, Long Dinh mat producers stick with this occupation, as it brings a higher income than growing rice.
This trade provides employment for thousands of local labourers. At present, nearly 1,000 households in Long Dinh village live on weaving mats. To better meet market demands, Long Dinh mat weavers have created more products in addition to the traditional sedge mats. Particularly, they are producing a new type of mat made from the dried stalks of water hyacinth, a common material in the Mekong Delta.
Thanks to the planning and further investment, the mat weaving occupation has indeed brought in more income for local residents. Their living standards have improved considerably, resulting in better conditions for the whole village.
