Shadow from the conical hat

The Vietnamese conical hat is a symbol of the homeland, the origin of the nation, a link to tradition. The conical hat is not only an item to protect from the sun and rain but also a part of the soul of Vietnamese culture, appearing in poetry, paintings and becoming a meaningful souvenir.

For foreign author Felix Schickel , the image of the conical hat has left an extremely impressive, unique impression, unique in Vietnam that cannot be found anywhere else in the world . That has helped the author preserve the moment of the conical hat with the photo series: Beneath the Conical Shade . Location: Long Xuyen Ward, An Giang , Vietnam.

Introduction: Worn by generations, the conical hat has not only protected against the sun and rain — it has also been a companion on every journey. It carries both laughter and work, weaving traditional stories into the rhythm of modern streets. In those moments, the familiar silhouette becomes a quiet symbol of identity, grace, and the strong bond between people and their homeland.
