40 booths are displaying handicraft items and a designated space showcasing Bac Ninh traditional crafts like Dong Ho folk paintings and Phu Lang ceramics.

Other highlight products include Nam Cao tussah silk from Hung Yen province, "to he" folk toys made from colored glutinous rice powder from Hanoi, and coal sculptures from Quang Ninh province.

There is a zone decorated with art installations and 3D models inspired by Dong Ho folk paintings and the northern Vietnamese countryside.
