Tat Vien village in Thu Sy commune, Tien Lu district, the northern province of Hung Yen, has made a name for traditional bamboo fish traps. Villagers in Tat Vien have been weaving fish traps for almost two centuries. The traps are woven from bamboo strips and flexible wood of a palm species called calamus. The items, resembling an elongated spheroid, can be called fish traps for short. Still, they can catch other aquatic creatures, such as crabs and eels, as the objects have two openings of different sizes that prevent the creatures from escaping. In Vietnamese, the symmetrical traps are known as 'Do', pronounced just as 'door' but with a rising tone. (Photo: VietnamPlus)
