Speaking at the opening ceremony, Chairman of the Ha Giang Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Van Son emphasised that the province has implemented a policy of flexible adaptation to and control of the epidemic in 2022 and reopened to tourists from March. To date, Ha Giang has welcomed nearly 2 million visitors and many tourism products have been upgraded to meet the needs of visitors, he noted.
Themed “Karst Plateau Vitality”, this year’s festival will feature a series of side events, including an exhibition of local “One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) goods and signature agricultural products, a marathon titled “Running on Happiness Route”, and an auto race and motorbike race.
There will be a Kayak and a SUP (racing paddle board) race on iconic Nho Que River.
Visitors can also enjoy the view of a floral road on the ancient street of Dong Van as well as various folk games of ethnic minorities, sports events and traditional cuisine.
Buckwheat flowers in Dong Van Karst Plateau Geopark have become a tourist icon of Ha Giang Province. Not only are they used as a traditional food by ethnic people, the flowers of the grain also bring a poetic beauty, creating a unique feature in the mountainous highlands.
