Local noodle soup designated as national intangible cultural heritage

The Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism has just recognized “My Quang” (Quang Nam-style noodle soup) as part of the national intangible cultural heritage list.

The ministry’s decision followed a formal request from the authorities of the central Quang Nam province in August last year.

The local noodle soup has been categorized under the domain of folk knowledge.

The craft of making My Quang is acknowledged for encapsulating the distinctive culinary values of the area.

According to the Quang Nam People's Committee, the dish evolved alongside the southward migration of settlers, adapting to available ingredients and thus contributing to its rich and varied flavors.

This versatile dish highlights the folk culinary culture of the land, appealing to a broad range of tastes and embodying the local history and folk knowledge.

Quang Nam is home to My Son Sanctuary, which was recognized as a world cultural heritage site by UNESCO in 1999. The province is a neighboring locality of Da Nang city./.
