It has a 300-year tradition of making colorful paper flowers for offerings and paper lotus flowers.

Depicting popular local flowers, with colors representing the five basic elements of the universe, Thanh Tien villagers create colorful flowers out of paper, which were initially used for offering purposes. Later on, the paper flower-making craft evolved to include paper lotuses and diverse applications for decoration.
