Serial activities of traditional vocation are taking place in Hanoi
Starting from 12 July, series of activities introducing traditional vocations of Hanoi as well as contemporary art have been organized in many historical relics of Old Quarter of Hanoi
Starting from July 12, 2025, a series of activities introducing traditional vocations of Hanoi and contemporary art have been organized at various historical relics in the Old Quarter of Hanoi. The event is scheduled to run until July 31, 2025.
The main goal of this series is to enrich visitors' understanding of traditional vocations while fostering a sense of responsibility for preserving their value in modern life. The historical relics in the Old Quarter are simultaneously seeking attention to maintain their originality.
These activities are hosted at four major locations, including Kim Ngan Temple (42-44 Hang Bac Street), where an exhibition of Chuong village hats combined with contemporary installation art is displayed; Dong Lac Temple (38 Hang Dao Street), featuring a traditional fan exhibition; the Old Quarter Information Center (28 Hang Buom Street), showcasing the Doi Tam drum through contemporary artistry; and a historical house at 87 Ma May, presenting an expo of Dao Xa traditional instruments.
Hanoi, having served as Vietnam's capital for over a millennium, continues to attract skilled artisans from nearby regions. The city boasts the highest number of traditional vocational villages, with many still thriving today. Notable examples include the Bat Trang ceramic village, Dong Ho painting village, Ngu Xa bronze village, and Van Phuc silk village, all of which have preserved their long-standing reputations despite Vietnam's rapid industrialization.
