Introduction:

Bao La Village is located along the northern banks of the Bồ River, renowned for its traditional craft of weaving bamboo products and crafting household items such as baskets, mats, screens, fans, and more. This craft tradition dates back to the Nguyen Dynasty. Over generations, the people of Bao La Village have meticulously crafted high-quality products. In 2013, Bao La Woven Bamboo Crafts Village was officially recognized as a traditional craft village by the provincial People's Committee of Thua Thien Hue Province, under Decision No. 725/QD-UBND dated April 16, 2013.

To preserve and promote the values of the traditional craft village, the People's Committee of Thua Thien Hue Province issued Decision No. 1008/QD-UBND on May 6, 2023, designating Bao La Woven Bamboo Crafts Village as a tourist destination ("May tre dan Bao La") in Quang Phu Commune, Quang Dien District, Thua Thien Hue Province.

A service area for refreshments and dining is available within the cooperative's premises to cater to visitors' needs.
