In addition, some artists and artisans will create wood carvings, pottery, weaving, and wickerwork...

Through this activity, the organizers hope to contribute to preserving and maintaining the traditional cultural and artistic values ​​of ethnic minorities in A Luoi, the traditional beauty that is gradually fading due to the introduction of new trends; the traditional house architecture of ethnic minorities is at risk of being changed and lost. From there, promote and honor those values ​​to domestic tourists and international friends.
