Sao Ha Village (Ha Giang) - Movie "Soul Eater"
This coming December, the movie "Soul Eater" will officially hit theaters with a story about the meaning of the image of a mouse wedding and a monstrous mouse mask. The movie is adapted from the original novel of the same name by writer Thao Trang, the novel is released online, parallel with the movie. This is also a movie in the same "universe" of Hell Village.
Set in Sao Ha village (Ha Giang), the film has unique, separate designs and the beautiful, mysterious atmosphere of the Northeastern mountains. Sao Ha village still retains its pristine, rustic beauty from the village roads to the houses. The filming scene is similar to the novel: the village appears hazy in the fog, like a long-abandoned ruin. A village described as "three no's", no electricity, no water, no phone signal, creating a feeling of desolation and depression, suitable for the mystery of horror movies.

Ba Be Lake (Bac Kan) - Movie "The Last Wife"
Inspired by the novel “Lake of Resentment” by author Hong Thai, the setting of the film “The Last Wife” takes place in the 19th century of Vietnam. Ba Be Lake (Bac Kan) was chosen by the film crew as the setting for many impressive scenes because of its characteristic change of scenery three times a day: early morning, noon and late afternoon. In the film, An Ma Island and Ba Goa Island are highlighted with images of many large and small rocks stacked on top of each other, with green trees appearing and disappearing.
Not only memorable for its poetic scenery, the movie "The Last Wife" also scores points with its elaborately staged miniatures. The rural market in the film partly helps the audience imagine a distant town, both familiar and strange. In particular, the water puppet scene received much attention from the stage, the water system, the artisans and the puppets' appearance.

Tra Su Melaleuca Forest (An Giang) - Movie "Southern Forest Land"
Recently, Tra Su cajuput forest (An Giang) was chosen as the setting for the movie “Southern Forest Land” by director Nguyen Quang Dung. Previously, Tra Su was also the filming location for the movie “Spiritual Seven Mountains” by director Ham Tran.
Tra Su cajuput forest was chosen as the setting for the film because it still retains the wild and majestic beauty of the Southern forest, "similar" to the description of writer Doan Gioi. The typical landscape built in the film is the image of a floating market typical of the Southwest region in the 1920s. Interspersed with canals filled with heavy alluvium and deep green cajuput forests, creating a romantic, cinematic beauty.

Dinh Yen mat village (Dong Thap) - Movie "Flip side 6"
In the film project “Flip Side 6”, Dinh Yen mat village (Dong Thap) was chosen as the main setting. Not a virtual film set, but from the foundations and old relics here, director Ly Hai recreated the scene of the traditional craft village when it was still prosperous.
Dinh Yen mat weaving village is located right next to Hau River. There are many alluvial grounds and sand dunes here, so plants such as sedge and reed grow very well. With skillful hands, the people here weave threads to create smooth, brightly colored mats. These mats are also closely associated with the lifestyle of Dong Thap people. In 2013, mat weaving was recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage.
