Talking about the Northwest mountains, we can immediately think of the peace with the immense blue mountains. From Dien Bien, Yen Bai to Lao Cai, it can be said that visitors will never cease to be captivated by the beauty of nature and the unique tradition of the provinces located in the northwest of Vietnam.
One of the interesting things that characterizes Northwest mountains, let’s discover it with us !
The mixture of the unique cultural identity of the ethnic groups
If the Kinh people have Valentine’s Day, the ethnic minorities in the Northwest often exchange the promise of a hundred years in the Love Market. This is a famous traditional activity in the spring, when family members are eager to buy new clothes, trade, go shopping, take a stroll around town and talk about love at the most beautiful time of the year. In Sapa, visitors can participate in the Love Market every Saturday, which usually takes place at the Stone Church near Central Square.
Traditional costume is a cultural beauty that many tourists love when visiting the Northwest. Wearing a flamboyant costume will not make you become a “real” compatriot. In fact, the costumes of the Northwest people are very diverse in design, color and materials. If the H’Mong people love red, blue, yellow, purple with meticulous hand-woven motifs, the Tay people are extremely minimal with black and silver braces. The Red Dao people fascinate visitors with designs inspired by the earth, sky, and birds.
Distinguished cuisine of the Northwest mountains
Northwest cuisine is as abundant as the number of ethnic minorities here. People in the Northwest consider the market as a place for community activities and a place for fun and festivals. They spend half a day going to the market and will never forget to come across the shop to eat a bowl of Pho or a bowl of hot vermicelli…
When you eat with the locals, listen to them talking about their daily life, it must be the most wonderful experience for young backpackers. How far away is not a problem and being lived in the cultural ambience is an extremely valuable experience that any youngsters want to undergo once in their life.
“Breath-taking” scenery of mountains and forests
Northwest Area is the child which still bears the wild beauty of Vietnam. The Northwest has the kind of beauty that is wild but romantic, beautiful but familiarly simple . There is nothing to disparage about the Northwest. The scenery on the side of the road is pretty, the scenery in the village is also pretty, the view of the stream is also pretty, the scene of the waterfall is even more irresistible…
The Northwest is envisioned as a very “poetic” vivid picture that people always look forward to visiting once in their life. That attraction makes people want to explore more.
