Soul of Mong people’s panpipe kept alive in mountainous schools

Under the early summer sun of Vietnam’s northern mountainous region, the schoolyard of Sung La Semi-Boarding Primary School for ethnic minority students in Sa Phin commune, Tuyen Quang province, fills with a distinctive sound. The melodies of the Mong people’s "khen" (panpipe) blend with the laughter of highland children, bringing life and warmth to the small school nestled amid the karst plateau.
