Hanoi (VNA) – With 1,350 craft villages, including 308 traditional ones, Hanoi has seen a need to balance maintaining production and preservation of traditional values, especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ha Thai lacquer village in Duyen Thai commune, Thuong Tin district is known as an outstanding traditional craft village in Hanoi. It is now home to over 300 households with more than 1,500 workers. Its lacquer products have been exported to many European markets thanks to their durable prestige and quality made by the skillfulness and creativity of artisans.
Do Trong Doan, a local artisan, said the village is meeting difficulties in production such as weak vocational training, low competitiveness and reliance on imported materials. Other traditional craft villages are also in the same situation when handicraft products are experiencing bad sales amid the pandemic.
