What is the aspiration of ethnic minority communities in Ha Giang province?

Ha Giang province is characterized by karst plateaus in the north which cover areas of 04 districts comprising Mèo Vạc, Đồng Văn, Yên Minh, Quản Bạ. This unique topography constituted more than 80% of the surface as rocks with steep slopes. With the average elevation of above 650 m asl, the weather in this area is cold and lack of rain falls. Despite the harsh environment, this place is a home for generations of local ethnic minority communities. The indigenous people have developed an adaptive yet impressive cultivation on rocky mountains.

Ha Giang people living in karst plateau areas have been cultivating corn as their main food. The process of growing crops on rocky mountains relies on nature, human strength, and primitive tools. Local people have a custom of cultivating, harvesting together and in circulation for all families in the neighborhood. The cooperation among communities is vital for them to sustain in regard to environmental challenges.

In order to empathize better with indigenous people, let’s join CCD Experience tours to Ha Giang province in the annual harvesting season. While taking part in the activity, tourists and travellers will probably harmonize with the joy and get aspired by the genuine yet affluent dreams of local people.
