Costume is one of the important factors that differentiate Vietnamese culture from other countries in the world. The costumes not only mark the cultural traditions and customs of the Vietnamese people, but they are also the breath and soul of a nation.
Vietnam's costumes are very diverse and rich, but the ones that impress people the most are the ao dai and the four-piece dress. The outfit carries the look and soul of Vietnam and when it comes to it, people will immediately think of Vietnam and that is the traditional ao dai. Traditional ao dai consists of a long shirt split into two front and back flaps, floor-length pants, material is silk or plain fabric, diverse colors and patterns.
Vietnam has an area of 331,690 km², located in the east of the Indochina peninsula, in Southeast Asia. Sharing a border with three countries, Vietnam borders China to the north, Laos and Cambodia to the west, and the East Sea to the east. In 2019, Vietnam's population was more than 96 million people, ranking 13th in the world. Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, is the second largest city with 6.2 million people, after Ho Chi Minh City, 8.8 million people.
Vietnam's history began from 1 to 2 thousand years BC. Over many centuries with the Ly, Tran, Le, and Nguyen dynasties, from the mid-19th century, Vietnam became a French colony. After the August Revolution, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam was born. The Battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954 marked the end of the French in the territory, but Vietnam was divided into two countries: the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in the North and the Republic of Vietnam in the South. After the events of April 30, 1975, Vietnam was unified and from July 2, 1976, officially named the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
