The northern mountainous province of Cao Bang has the highest proportion of ethnic minorities in the country (accounting for 95% of its population), according to the 2019 census. Specifically, the Tay ethnic group is 40.83%, Nung 29.81%, Mong 11.65%, San Chi 1.49%, Lo Lo 0.54% and Dao 10.36%.

The authorities at all levels, relevant agencies and localities in the province have paid attention to carrying out many research, propaganda and educational activities to strongly arouse and honor the traditional cultural values of ethnic minorities in the province.

The Dao people in Cao Bang consist of two branches: Red Dao and Tien Dao, living mainly in the districts of Nguyen Binh, Ha Quang, Bao Lam, Bao Lac, Thong Nong and Thach An.

The Dao people still preserve and promote many traditional handicrafts, such as: paper making in Yen Lac commune, silver carving of the Red Dao group in Thai Hoc commune (Nguyen Binh), beeswax pattern printing of the Dao Tien people in Quang Thanh commune (Nguyen Binh).

In particular, keeping up with the needs of tourists who favor brocade embroidery products, the Dao Tien people have built an embroidery workshop in one of the tourist destinations on the Western route - "Discover Phja Oac – the area of changes" of the UNESCO Non Nuoc Cao Bang Global Geopark to attracts tourists.

The embroidery workshop in Hoa Tham commune (Nguyen Binh district) is well developed by local people.

To preserve and promote the traditional crafts of ethnic minorities, the brocade embroidery production group was established and put into operation in 2012. By 2017, to continue improving quality and operational efficiency of this model, the People's Committee of Hoa Tham commune established a Dao brocade embroidery workshop in Na Chan hamlet, Hoa Tham commune of Nguyen Binh district. The embroidery workshop gathers people with similar interests to weave, embroider, and create unique costumes and products of the Dao Tien people.

To preserve and promote local cultural values, the Culture, Sports and Tourism Department of Cao Bang province has linked the embroidery workshop of the Dao Tien people with tourism development, attracting tourists to visit and experience the traditional profession. In particular, the Management Board of Non Nuoc Cao Bang Geopark always strives to find and perfect the system of partners to contribute to sustainable tourism development.

With the goal of promoting sustainable development associated with conservation activities, Non nuoc Cao Bang Geopark has strived to support and bring many benefits to its partners - those who directly preserve and promote precious cultural assets. At the same time, it has encouraged the Dao Tien people in Hoa Tham to proactively invest in handlooms, diversify designs and product types... to create quality products to supply to the market to further attract tourists.
