Long Dinh village in Tien Giang province's Chau Thanh district is famous for the craft of weaving sedge mats. Thanks to its high quality and eye-catching designs, Long Dinh mats are loved for years. The village’s traditional craft was established 60 years ago by craftsmen from famous mat-weaving areas in the north, such as Kim Son in Ninh Binh, so the village’s mat-weaving techniques are different from others in the south.
