Gợi ý :
The conical leaf hat is one of the typical features (symbols) of the Vietnamese culture because it cannot be found from anywhere else in the world. The leaf hat is not only a symbol of Vietnamese girls/ women, but has also become part of the spirit of the Vietnamese nation.
The hat is made from a special kind of bamboo and young and soft palm leaves. The rims are shaped into conical form. The diameter of the hat is about 40-45 cm and it is about 25-30 cm high. The form is covered with the palm leaves, which are then sewn into all rims. Finally, the hat is trimmed and painted with a coat of attar oil.
The leaf hat is used like an umbrella to protect people from sun or rain. Beneath the broad rims of the leaf hat, the girls and women look pretty and attractive.
