Learn to weave sedge at Kim Sơn, on the reclaimed land the reed grows on
Dry it, dye it, weave it
A cluster of sedge-weaving villages on the reclaimed coastal belt south-east of Ninh Bình city, where the reed is grown, sun-dried in roadside yards, dyed and woven by hand. Walking the villages and drying yards is free; a guided weaving session has to be arranged ahead through a local operator. Daytime, cash.
