Preserving and promoting intangible cultural heritage in Dong Nai

With its diverse ethnic communities and rich cultural traditions, Dong Nai province is often described as a “miniature Southeastern Vietnam.” The province is home to a wealth of indigenous knowledge embedded in local social and community life. From village organisation, customary laws, and the role of village elders to community regulations and a vast trove of beliefs, rituals, festivals, and folk arts, these elements have formed a distinctive body of intangible cultural heritage that shapes Dong Nai’s unique identity.
