The traditional craft of making fish sauce in Nam O Village in Da Nang’s Lien Chieu District has been recognised as part of national intangible cultural heritage by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in the early this month. Situated in Lien Chieu District in the central city of Da Nang around three kilometers from the foot of the Hai Van Pass, Nam O is one of Vietnam’s oldest and most famous fish-sauce making villages with a history of more than 400 years. Fish sauce is considered the soul of Vietnam's cuisine, being included in the food during cooking as a key component or used as a dipping sauce. VNA Photo: Quốc Dũng
