Hand embroidery painting is a big part of the Vietnamese culture; traditionally, girls are expected to know how to decorate pillowcases, curtains and tablecloths with hand embroidery.

If you have a opportunity to visit the Su Quan Embroidery Village which spreads across a large wooded area overlooking a lush valley in Dalat city of Khanh Hoa province, you will see the ambient complex features spacious showrooms dedicated to stunning embroidered paintings; a variety of temple-style shophouses selling silk garments; landscaped rock gardens with small ponds garnished with orchids, sculptures, ferns and stonewalls embellished with colourful flowerpots and ancient Chinese calligraphy.
