For the Ede ethnic group in the Central Highlands, life cycle rituals play a crucial role in both personal and communal life, with the coming-of-age ceremony varying in size, timing, and offerings.

The Lai Chau Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, in collaboration with the People's Committee of Tam Duong district, recently organised a special exhibition on the cultural heritage of the Dao ethnic group, featuring rituals of “tu cai”, or “cap sac” (coming of age) ceremony.

The northern mountainous province of Tuyen Quang is home to nearly 100,000 people of Dao ethnicity whose culture boasts unique customs, rituals and arts.
