Once arriving the village, you can hear the resounding sound of hammer strikes permeating every village. The blacksmith craft has existed here for hundreds of years. Unlike many others that are facing the risks of falling into oblivion, the blacksmith craft practised by the Nùng An Community in this region has not only withstood the test of time but also flourished with each passing day. Most products are created manually as relying solely on machinery would compromise their quality. The forged products by Nùng An people are highly diverse, including items such as plow blades, hoe blades, sickles, machetes, shovels, knives, hammers, axes, saws, chisels, and planes. Phúc Sen forged products have established their own brand and are favoured by both local residents and tourists alike. The craft has lifted the people of this area out of poverty, providing them with a more sustainable livelihood.
