Dong Ho Painting Village Hanoi is located in Bac Ninh. It is well-known by its traditional folk paintings, all of which are created for the annual Tet Festival (Lunar New Year). Located along the Duong River, this traditional village is supposed to be a place helping trallvers from Ha Noi relieve their stress. Also known as woodcut or Dong Ho paintings, these artworks often depict bright and colourful scenes of everyday life, folk allegories, mythical and historical figures, as well as symbols of happiness, fertility, prosperity, and fortune. Therefore, many households and businesses oftentimes use them as decorations throughout the year, particularly during Tet holidays. For the sake of producing a single Dong Ho painting, the craftsmen first carve a wooden block into distinctive shapes, before brushing a layer of ink onto each block, and then pressing them on a traditional giay gio paper. The ink is made with natural ingredients such as the ash of burned bamboo leaves, gravel, finely ground oyster shells, and flowers. Finally, the finished design is sealed by a layer of sticky rice paste
