About 7km away from Thu Dau Mot city, Tuong Binh Hiep was Binh An district’s small village producing ancient pictures and was the place receiving residents with clever hands from the North and Central.

The merry clop of Cham weaving looms
Everyday, a Cham woman called Gai sits by an old loom in her soil-walled house in My Nghiep Village to weave fabric. The work creates a merry clop sound when the loom components hit together. The simple but good-to-listen-to hollow sound goes echoing amidst the laughs and giggles of the children and the chatting of the adults in the traditional Cham weaving village in the central province of Ninh Thuan.
