This small village on the bank of Ninh Cơ River used to be well-known for their sericulture and mulberry silk business.
According to the elders, traditional silk production in Cổ Chất has existed for a few hundred years.
Many families depend on silk production as their main source of income for generations.
During the colonial era, the French even built a sericulture factory right next to the village. Since then, Cổ Chất Village started to see its golden days./.
