Preserving the quintessence of ao dai
Throughout the long history of the nation, despite numerous cultural exchanges and transformations, the Vietnamese ao dai has remained a timeless symbol of quintessence unmatched by any other traditional attire. The ao dai is a perfect blend of modesty and allure, modernity and tradition, grace and strength. It continues to serve as an endless source of inspiration for tailors and designers, who constantly innovate to celebrate its beauty.

Some villages have experienced significant changes as a result of the urbanization process. A few years ago, many villages still had typical sceneries of a traditional Vietnamese village, including green paddy fields, green bamboo fences running along village roads and aged wells next to ancient houses. Yet, these lovely scenes are slowly disappearing these days. The Phong Le Ancient Village located in Hoa Tho Dong Ward, Cam Le District, Da Nang is likely to face similar challenges in the future. Therefore, the village should take seriously warning signs that its traditional cultural heritage is under threat.
