Vietnam - Craft villages - Interior of a home in Kim Chinh sedge basket weaving village

Interior of a home in Kim Chinh, sedge basket weaving village, Ninh Binh province, Vietnam. With Vietnam’s growing population making less land available for farmers to work, families unable to sustain themselves are turning to the creation of various products in rural areas. These ‘craft’ villages specialise in a single product or activity, anything from palm leaf hats to incense sticks, or from noodle making to snake-catching. Some of these ‘craft’ villages date back hundreds of years, whilst others are a more recent response to enable rural farmers to earn much needed extra income.
