discussed in 4.
I live in Tay Ho Village, 12 kilometres from Hue City. My village is
famous for its conical hats. We make conical hats from goi leaves.
We still follow 15 traditional steps to make a hat. A conical hat
protects us from the sun and the rain as well as makes us more
graceful. What is special about our conical hats is that each of
them carries a poem. Tay Ho conical hats are not only famous in
Hue but all over Viet Nam.
