Along the Nam Tu River
In the autumn days of September, upstream of Tu Thuong mountain (Nam Xe commune, Van Ban district), we came to the village of the H'mong - a very small ethnic group, also the only place in Vietnam where the Hmong live.Regularly maintain cultural activities, traditional arts of our nation
The gentle Nam Tu stream originates from the top of a high mountain and runs down to bend around the village of Tu Thuong. The terraced fields in the ripe rice season are bright yellow, with a couple of fields that people have just harvested. It was interesting when we were immersed in the Hmong folk songs and dances of the couples who made love, threw con, danced the flute, sang the pipe... We experienced watching Hmong women weave cloth, embroider brocade, and watch Hmong men knitting. In particular, the people here still preserve and preserve many traditional rituals and customs with the cultural beauty of the Blue Mong ethnic community such as: the custom of painting on eggs, pounding shoe cakes on the Lunar New Year...

Not only developing the economy, building a new countryside, and creating a peaceful and prosperous village, the Blue H'mong people on Tu Thuong mountain are still united, together promoting the national cultural identity, creating the flavor of "25 colors" flowers" in the highlands bordering Lao Cai.
