The film set-like bamboo forests in the northeastern mountainous province of Cao Bang are likely perfect places for swashbuckler fans and young backpack tourists to check in and take photos.
Bac Ninh province recognised Xuan Lai bamboo and rattan as a local collective trademark at a ceremony in the northern province on October 26, making it the sixth product in the locality to receive Government protection.
