The Dong Ho folk woodcut picture village is located on the east side of the Duong River, Song Ho Commune, Thuan Thanh District, Bac Ninh Province.  The making of Dong Ho folk pictures has been recognised as a national intangible cultural heritage.

Danang Today would like to share with our readers some photos, taken by reporter Ngoc Doan, which reflect how the folk woodcut pictures are made.
