Hong Thai Commune, Tuyen Quang Province, sits at an altitude of more than 1,200 meters above sea level. Every year, around early July, as the summer rains arrive, a giant "ink-wash painting" seems to awaken. Water flows from the mountain slopes through underground springs, cascading into each terraced field like shimmering waves rolling against the foot of the mountains, transforming the entire valley into a vast mirror reflecting the clouds above.
In recent years, farmers across the province have increasingly adopted new grape varieties, creating high-value agricultural models that help diversify crop production while opening up opportunities for agritourism and experiential tourism development.
Tha Village, located in Ha Giang 1 Ward, has emerged as a standout destination for community-based tourism while preserving the cultural identity of the Tay ethnic minority. Home to more than 130 households and over 600 residents, 99% of whom are Tay people, the village has maintained its traditional lifestyle and tranquil atmosphere despite being situated not far from the ward center.
As the morning sun casts its golden light over terraced rice fields turning the color of the new harvest, Hong Thai - known as the "gateway to the sky" in Tuyen Quang Province - comes alive with the harvest season of one of its signature mountain delicacies: the local pear. Replacing the dreamy, mist-covered charm of the blooming season, the pear harvest paints a picture of abundance and prosperity. Beneath the deep green foliage, clusters of round, russet-skinned pears sway gently in the breeze, preserving the crisp texture and delicate sweetness nurtured by the mountain soil.
