A project to renovate the tomb of a 17th-century royal concubine has begun in Duy Xuyen district, the central province of Quang Nam.

Farmers in remote Đăng Hà commune in Bù Đăng district, southern Binh Phuoc province, toiled away at inefficient cashew nut farming before switching to mulberry trees to breed silkworms. And the little worms have helped local people wiggle away from poverty.

Experts have recommended the use of high-yield silkworm varieties that can adapt to Vietnamese conditions to reduce reliance on imports from China and other countries.

When mentioning weaving, people may think of women laboriously sitting besides weaving looms. However, you may doubt your current knowledge on weaving when watching silkworms do the weaving.

One woman's passion led her to achieve what many others thought would be impossible: training silkworms to weave blankets.
