Brocade weaving of Pa Then ethnic group

The Pa Then people are one of the 54 ethnic groups in Vietnam and primarily inhabit the northern provinces of Ha Giang and Tuyen Quang. Over many generations, the Pa Then people have formed and preserved a diverse and rich culture, most notably a tradition of brocade weaving. This unique cultural feature strongly reflects their spiritual lives and is also a great source of pride.
