Ha Giang Buckwheat Flower Festival

The festival was held for the first time to honor the unique cultural values of Dong Van Karst Plateau in 2015

According to the legend, in the past, the people in the Northern mountainous region lived mainly on rice and corn. One year, they were out of rice and corn, but harvest season did not still came. They went everywhere but didn’t find anything to eat. One day, suddenly, they smelt a strange fragrance in the wind, they followed the ravine then saw a forest of tiny flowers. They brought its grain to eat instead of rice, corn. That flower is buckwheat flower.

The buckwheat flower grows in clusters and usually blooms for about 1 month (late October, early November). When newly blooming, the flower is tiny white, after pinkish and finally dark red. Local people often take flour of the buckwheat fruit to make cake or mix its grain with corn to brew wine. The buckwheat leaf is used as green vegetable and trunk for cattle feed.

The festival is going to take place in two weeks. Pack your backpack now and join in this beautiful festival in Ha Giang.
