As the year comes to a close, Thanh Tien village (Duong No Ward, Thuan Hoa District, Hue City) buzzes with vibrant traditional paper flowers. Each flower not only boasts stunning beauty but also carries wishes for peace in the new year. Visitors to this village can admire the charm of a simple, poetic 300-year-old rural community while discovering the ancient craft of paper flower making along the southern bank of the Perfume River.

Da Nang Weekend presents to our rders images of Thanh Tien paper flowers through the lens of photographer Xuan Dat from Hue City.

Paper flowers embody the sacred philosophy of Eastern Confucianism: the "Three Principles," which symbolize Ruler, Teacher, and Parent, and the "Five Constants," representing Humanity, Rites, Justice, Wisdom, and Integrity.

Thanh Tien paper flowers consistently attract buyers with the artisanship of their creators and the beauty of the flowers themselves.

Each flower not only radiates vibrant beauty but also conveys wishes for prosperity and peace in the new year.
