(Fatherland) - After many years of research and development, Mr. Nguyen Van Binh (born in 1986, from Ha Nam, currently living in Da Nang) has created 2D and 3D wooden models, which have become unique souvenirs and displays, contributing to promoting Da Nang tourism to visitors from near and far.
According to Mr. Nguyen Van Binh, since 2016, he has been interested in 2D and 3D wood carving models when he helped a friend make a gift. After moving to Da Nang, he came up with the idea of laser engraving on wood to make souvenirs to sell to tourists.
To invest in this field, Mr. Binh boldly spent about 300 million VND to buy a laser engraving machine and learn graphics...
In the beginning, Mr. Binh experimented with making simple items like keychains and gradually tried his hand at more complex and sophisticated models.
"Designing a model is like building a house, you have to understand the structure, details, patterns and specific details of the project. First, build from the foundation, to each column, beam, then roof, decoration...", Mr. Nguyen Van Binh shared.
Under the skillful hands of Mr. Binh, Dragon Bridge, Golden Bridge, Linh Ung Pagoda, Ba Na Hills and many other wonders and famous landmarks in Da Nang in particular and across the country in general... have been "miniatured" and recreated in a detailed and vivid way.

Turtle Tower Model (Hanoi).
Model of President Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum.
Ben Thanh Market Model (HCMC).
That Theater model in Nha Trang (Khanh Hoa).
Model of Independence Palace (HCMC).
Da Lat Station.
Mr. Binh shared that to have a finished product, it takes many steps; from researching the construction and location through actual observation or through images and videos, then coming up with ideas, drawing images and model details on the computer. Each product is completed in about 3-15 days depending on the complexity.
To create the model, the main material is wood; some special products are made of natural wood to carve patterns with high aesthetic value. Besides, there are other materials such as paper, steel, thread, plastic...
Mr. Binh informed that a simple 2D model with 10 - 20 details can be assembled in about 10 minutes, while a 3D model takes about 10 hours. "Complex models with thousands of details can take a whole week to complete," Mr. Binh said.
The products that Mr. Binh makes are not only skillful and creative but also show the uniqueness and cultural diversity of each locality, attracting the attention of domestic and foreign tourists.
Mr. Binh's products are also regularly displayed by the Da Nang Department of Tourism at many seminars, fairs and events, contributing to promoting the city's tourism to visitors from near and far.
In addition, Da Nang City leaders regularly order models recreating the wonders of the Han River city as gifts for partners or to display on important occasions. In the photo is Mr. Binh's "Danang in miniature" model, which was used by Vice Chairman of Da Nang City People's Committee Tran Chi Cuong as a gift for French Consul General Emmanuelle Pavillon-Grosser on March 15.
