Unique features of the ethnic cultural identity in Ha Giang
Ha Giang is located in the northernmost part of the country. It attracts tourists for not only its majestic natural scenery but also the unique cultural features of its ethnic minorities.
Unlike the Hmong, the Dao live near water sources. Therefore, many of them live in the back of the mountain. They mainly produce on terraced fields some crops such as rice, corn, potatoes, cassava, buckwheat... Furthermore, the Dao is well-known for its needlework and floral sketching on fabrics using beeswax.
The Dao culture is also quite complex because it is made up of many different groups. This is clearly reflected in the community’s spiritual sense, superstitions, living conceptions, and ritual forms as well as in folklore. The festival that is considered as the most special among the Dao people is the maturity ceremony (called Lễ cấp sắc in Vietnamese) for men. Traveling in Ha Giang in the months of November, December, and January, tourists will have the opportunity to participate in this celebration and observe many distinct aspects of the Dao culture.
One of the qualities that form a distinct flavor in the Tay ethnic culture is the art of 'Then' singing and 'Tinh' gourd lute playing. They are often performed in rituals to pray for crops or peace, and the maturity ceremony. The Tay people have retained their unique traditional cultural values. They are reflected through traditional festivals and a literary treasure trove of mythology, ancient stories, poems, folk songs... or in the customs and habits of daily living. In addition to mountain farming, the Tay people's weaving craft is also intricate, especially brocade towels with rich patterns which are very popular.
