Thousands of gold chickens are ready to be launched in the market for the Lunar New Year. The most favorite markets for this product are HCMC, Bien Hoa and southern provinces

 

 

 

During the past two months, many craft villages in Lai Thieu in Thuan An Town in the southeastern province of Binh Duong have been in bustling atmosphere to produce such ceramic products to serve the demands of locals.

The owner of a factory in Lai Thieu said that they are unable to turn out enough products despite more extra working times. Owners of these factories said that these products will enjoy good sales during the Lunar New Year (or Tet). After Tet, these manufacturing houses will resume their operation to product terra-cotta piggy banks.
