A unique feature of the exhibition was the display of traditional handicraft village products such as ceramics, lacquerware, woodcarving, wooden clogs and traditional cakes. “This activity not only promotes the image of a dynamic, modern Thu Dau Mot, but also shows the city’s deep respect for its distinctive cultural heritage. This cultural foundation is vital to our journey towards sustainable development”, shared Trinh Ngoc Phuong, Deputy Director of Thu Dau Mot city’s Culture, Information and Sports Center.

In today's development journey, these historical slices and enduring cultural values  are the fire that preserves identity, fueling faith and aspiration for an integrated - steadfast - and courageous Binh Duong.
