The photo “Bamboo basket seller” by Vietnamese photographer Ly Hoang Long has been named in the top list of the “Travels” photo competition launched by All About Photo (APP) Magazine. The photo was taken in Tat Vien village on the outskirts of Hanoi. “The most well-known item of Tat Vien village, Hung Yen province – the North of Vietnam, is the bamboo fishing basket. It is a simple tool made of bamboo, rhombus, and is flexible so that the farmer can lay it in the stream to catch small fish,” APP wrote.

“This traditional craft has been passed down through many generations in Tat Vien village for 200 years. The bamboo basket is not only a manual labor tool but also a decorative item used in the interior design of hotels, restaurants, and shops these days.”
