Ripen rice season in Cao Duong

Cao Duong hamlet is located at an altitude of nearly 1,000 meters with a cool climate all year round, bordering the Cham Chu special-use forest. In September, when the rice begins to ripen, the Ripen Rice Festival is held. The golden terraced fields, soft and winding like silk strips across the mountainside, create a majestic natural painting that attracts many visitors.

The competition showcasing traditional costumes of the Tay, Dao, H’mong, and Nung ethnic groups features more than 30 girls representing the unique beauty of the villages in the commune.

The campfire night lit up the mountains, bringing together ethnic communities and visitors in a vibrant atmosphere of drums and flutes. Joyful dances and radiant smiles fostered solidarity and warm bonds among participants.

With the New Rural Development Program, the main road of the hamlet has been concreted, facilitating trade, travel, and the organization of festivals.

From early morning, Dao women in traditional costumes eagerly participate in the Festival.

Blending with the vibrant colors of traditional costumes, art performances not only highlight the cultural identity of ethnic groups but also honor the long-standing agricultural traditions of the local people.

Along with economic development in the hamlet, local people have introduced many mountain specialties, gradually promoting and selling them at stalls, creating an attractive highlight for visitors.

Visitors and local people enjoy sightseeing, experiencing, and shopping for local specialties.

At the festival, visitors not only immerse themselves in the lively atmosphere but also join ethnic people in harvesting rice, reenacting the atmosphere of the harvest season on the terraced fields of Cao Duong.

H’mong women in traditional costumes harvest ripe rice, brightening up the scene of Cao Duong’s ripen rice season.

Amidst the brilliant golden landscape of ripe rice, people and visitors capture memorable moments together. Smiles and check-in photos not only preserve beautiful memories but also spread the joy of a prosperous harvest season in Cao Duong.
