A handmade rice paper craft village in Long Dien commune, Ho Chi Minh City - national intangible cultural heritage since 2025.
More than 130 households in the former An Ngai area still make rice paper by hand: soaking the rice, grinding it into a batter, spreading it on cloth stretched over a steaming pot and then drying it in the sun. Ba Ria - Vung Tau province recognised it as a traditional craft village in 2022, and it was added to the national list of intangible cultural heritage in 2025.
