A Roang is far but close

HNN.VN - A Roang is a border commune of A Luoi district, which is about 90km away from Hue city center. People living here are mainly the Ta Oi people. Being located at the foot of the majestic Truong Son Mountain, A Roang was once a poor and extremely difficult place to travel to. However, it is now an attractive destination for visitors who love the rustic beauty of people and villages in wild mountains and forests, or immersing themselves in waterfalls and lakes in the middle of mountains and forests.

Through the photo angles taken by Truong Vung, a photographer, Thua Thien Hue Weekly would like to invite you to visit the land and people of A Roang. Whether it's just a festival night, a Khen panpipe dance, or simply watching the elderly weaving the bamboo products, and young women weaving the zeng, etc., they are all friendly messages about a place, where both the land and the people are being rustic and remote, but are always open and welcoming.
