Vietnam is home to 54 ethnic groups, each with its own unique traditions, language, and way of life.
While the majority of the population belongs to the Kinh ethnic group, many ethnic minorities, such
as the Tay, Thai, H'Mong, and Khmer, live in mountainous and remote areas. These communities
have preserved their traditional customs, including unique clothing, festivals, and folk songs that
reflect their rich cultural heritage.

and healthcare makes it difficult for them to improve their living conditions. The government has
introduced policies to support these communities, such as building schools, improving roads, and
promoting tourism to create job opportunities.
One of the most famous ethnic festivals in Vietnam is the Gong Festival, celebrated by the Central
Highlands' ethnic groups. This event features traditional music played on gongs, an important
