Amidst the flickering campfire in the center of Dong Van ancient town, the sound of H'Mong khen harmonizing with the fun dances imbued with the culture of the H'Mong people in the Stone Plateau has helped connect tourists and spread the beautiful image of Tuyen Quang tourism.
For Hung, dancing is not only to celebrate with tourists, but also all national pride, the desire to bring the breath of highland culture to domestic and foreign tourists.
When night fell, in the public space of Dong Van ancient town, Sung Manh Hung in traditional H'Mong costumes seemed to transform into a real dancer. In his leading role, Hung made visitors immerse themselves in lively dances.
Hung shared: "I myself must have positive energy to spread and connect people, through art performances in the campfire night, I want to bridge the gap between local people and tourists".
Videos about Hung's arts nights and dance moments with tourists on social networks attract hundreds of thousands of views. Currently, Hung's TikTok has more than 500,000 followers and Facebook has more than 700,000 followers.

Recognizing the advantage of social networks in promoting culture and tourism of the highlands of Tuyen Quang, Hung also recorded videos about the daily life of indigenous people, the majestic natural scenery of the highlands of Tuyen Quang and posted them on social networks for many people to know about.
Amidst the explosion of social networks, Sung Manh Hung chose for himself a very unique way of promoting Tuyen Quang culture and people. That is meticulousness, meticulousness and respect for traditional values.
Hung said: "I spend time going to ancient villages with the old houses and lifestyles of the people to film and introduce the characteristics; the very ordinary activities of people in the highland markets".
Sung Manh Hung himself is also directly teaching khen to young children with meticulousness from how to breathe, how to hold the flute and khen correctly, to how to coordinate rhythmically between breathing and body movement.
According to Hung, this is the way to preserve the unique cultural values of the H'Mong people who are facing the risk of fading away.
Only when they know the culture, origins and unique identity of their nation will the younger generation know how to cherish and preserve it," Hung confided.
