Vietnamese and Chinese children decorate Vietnam's 'non la.'
The activities were part of a cross-border exchange program for children living along the Lang Son–Guangxi border.
The program was designed to foster friendship between young people from the two provinces and provide a meaningful space for them to connect, learn, and experience each other's cultures and customs.
As part of the program, the Chinese and Vietnamese students visited the Lang Son Museum to learn about Vietnamese history.

A highlight of the day was the creative workshop where students decorated non la and crafted pottery.
They painted familiar symbols from both countries onto the conical hats, including lotuses, bamboo, pandas, and the Great Wall of China.
Each hat prominently featured the national flags of Vietnam and China placed side by side, representing unity and friendship between the two countries.

The principal of Elementary School No. 4, which the Chinese students attend, said the children were thrilled to be selected for the trip and proud to participate.
Among the visitors, several students could speak Vietnamese, thanks to family ties in Vietnam.
Their language skills helped them integrate more easily and build connections with their Vietnamese peers.
Le Thuy Dung, deputy secretary of the Lang Son Youth Union, said the program held special meaning, as it nurtured cross-border friendships from an early age through engaging, educational activities.
