[In Pictures] Colours of Hoi An Silk

“Colours of Hoi An Silk” is an artistic programme that recreates the history of mulberry cultivation, silkworm raising and silk weaving at this ancient trading port. The programme helps domestic and international audiences gain a deeper understanding of Hoi An’s silk-weaving craft, while contributing to the promotion of the graceful, elegant image of the Vietnamese ao dai (traditional long dress).
