As society continues to evolve, preserving the traditional culture of ethnic minorities is becoming increasingly difficult. Yet, driven by love and pride for his heritage, artisan Vang A Mang from Suoi Giang commune, Van Chan district, Yen Bai province has devoted his life to researching, collecting, and safeguarding the Hmong language and script — with the hope of passing them down to future generations.

Van Chan, the western gateway district of Yen Bai province, is not only renowned for its majestic natural landscape but also as home to 18 ethnic groups. Each group contributes its own rich cultural values to the region’s ethnic diversity. Among them, the traditional costumes of the Mong ethnic people stand out for their intricate craftsmanship woven with stories, legends, and the deep spiritual traditions of the Mong community.

Van Chan district in the northern province of Yen Bai aims to boost tourism development and expand tourism linkages with other districts in the province. To this end, the district has provided all possible conditions for local enterprises and people to invest and develop tourism projects and attract more visitors.

The Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) has provided 1 billion VND (44,000 USD) in financial relief for the northern mountainous province of Yen Bai, which was severely hit by floods over the past few days.

The northern mountainous province of Yen Bai has mobilised over 4,000 people, including army soldiers, police, militias and local residents, in search for missing people after a severe flash flood swept through the province on October 11.
