Muong Chanh preserves traditional pottery-making

Currently, there are three households in the commune still practicing pottery-making and five businesses selling ceramic products. The commune is implementing various measures to preserve the traditional craft, such as combining it with experiential tourism activities; encouraging locals to continue production while harmoniously integrating traditional elements with modern trends to create ceramic products that meet consumer tastes; showcasing and promoting ceramic products at events within and beyond the province; and connecting with businesses and organisations to explore and expand markets for these products.
