This month, the village will dazzle its visitors as it is becomes covered in
Mexican sunflowers and buckwheat flowers, hosting a variety of cultural
activities from different ethnic groups to welcome in the new year under the
"Sac hoa” (beauty of flowers) programme.
In particular, the mountain market – which features the traditional cuisines
and folk games of the Mong, Lao, Khang, Thai, Tay, Dao, and Kho Mu ethnic
groups – promises to be a fascinating event for visitors.
In addition, the Ruou Can festival, which is centred on a special wine stored
in a large jar and drunken with a long pipe, will be acted out by the Khang
ethnic group in Son La province’s Quynh Nhai district. The festival is
organised from the first to the third month of the Lunar calendar, praying for
good health and prosperous villages.
Stellar artistic performances of the ethnic people will be staged at the
