VOV.VN - Lung Tam, a village nestled among misty rocky peaks and shrouded in clouds year-round on the Dong Van Karst Plateau in Ha Giang province, is renowned for its age-old tradition of brocade weaving of the Mong ethnic community.
The weaving village is unique in that it grows flax, while most Mong people in this rocky highland region traditionally cultivate corn in the crevices of the barren mountains.
The Mong women meticulously split the threads to obtain flax fibers, which are then pounded in stone mortars to soften them, leaving behind only the strong, durable strands.
After being repeatedly boiled in a mixture of water, ash, and beeswax, the linen threads gradually become softer and take on a whiter appearance.
