Vietnam Conical Hat

Click and drag to rotate around.

The conical hat is synonymous with Vietnam and has become a sort of informal Vietnamese national symbol that is recognized worldwide.
 
It is worn by Vietnamese everywhere- on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, in the fields of Sapa, on the rivers of the Mekong Delta and in the markets of Hanoi. Its many uses include shielding from the fierce sunshine and hard rain, as a basin or a bowl to contain water when one is thirsty, as a fan when they are hot, as a basket of a bunch of vegetables. Romantically, young couples can also veil their kisses behind this traditional conical hat during their dates.
 
Buy the conical hat as a souvenir from Vietnam in the Ben Thanh Market and Binh Tay Market of Ho Chi Minh City, HCMC.
