For the Co Tu ethnic group in mountainous districts of the central province of Quang Nam, the Guul is regarded as a sacred house, integral to their cultural, social, and spiritual life. The Guul is not only unique in its architecture, but also serves as a venue for important community activities, including gong festivals, traditional singing and dancing, and village elders’ meetings.
The Lai Chau Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, in collaboration with the People's Committee of Tam Duong district, recently organised a special exhibition on the cultural heritage of the Dao ethnic group, featuring rituals of “tu cai”, or “cap sac” (coming of age) ceremony.
