The season of thick flowers dyes Mu Cang Chai village pink
Báo Lao Động•11/01/2025
Yen Bai - The flowers are blooming most brilliantly, showing off their colors all over the big and small roads, on the porches, on the high cliffs in La Pan Tan commune, Mu Cang Chai district.
The To Day flower belongs to the peach family, has five pink petals, long red pistils and blooms in attractive clusters. According to Thao A Su, a young H'Mong person working in tourism in La Pan Tan commune, To Day flowers start blooming from high mountains to low because cold weather will stimulate the flowers to bloom earlier. From mid-December to mid-January of the following year is the season when the flowers bloom in the Northwest. At this time, the flowers bloom the most in Mu Cang Chai, Yen Bai. It seems that on every road leading to the villages, you can see the brilliant pink color of this flower. The areas with the most densely blooming flowers are Ta Chi Lu, Trong Pao Sang, and Trong Tong villages in La Pan Tan commune, Mu Cang Chai district. Visitors can hire a local to guide them and travel by foot or motorbike to see the flowers. Not only growing abundantly in La Pan Tan, visitors can also visit the communes of Nam Khat, De Xu Phinh, Lao Chai... to immerse themselves in the dense forests of blooming flowers. In the past, the flowers grew naturally because the seeds fell and germinated when conditions were favorable. Local people often cut them down for firewood, peeled the bark to make musical instruments, tools... but in recent years, the flowers have bloomed more and more beautifully, attracting tourists to visit, thereby developing accommodation services, tour guides, motorbike taxis, photography... creating a new source of income for the people. Gradually, the thick forests of the flowers have been preserved and planted to serve tourists. The thick-stemmed tree stumps that Thao A Su photographed in La Pan Tan are all between 10 and 40 years old. The trees grow quickly but do not live long because of stem borers, and they easily die after about 40 to 50 years. However, the old stumps will sprout new shoots on the next tree. According to Thao A Su, the thick-stemmed flowers of the forest have trees that bloom after a month and are often peeled off by Mong flute artisans to make flute belts. In addition to the beauty that adorns the mountains and forests in late winter and early spring, thick-stemmed trees are also used to make musical instruments, tools, and flowers to decorate houses... In the Hmong culture, the traditional New Year takes place at the end of the 11th lunar month, on the night of November 30th of the Kinh lunar calendar, the Hmong celebrate New Year's Eve. This time coincides with the season of thick plum blossoms, so the flowers of the mountains and forests become a symbol of Tet, signaling a new year for the Hmong people. Tourists staying at Thao A Su's homestay have a panoramic view of the terraced fields of the three communes of La Pan Tan, Che Cu Nha, and De Xu Phinh. In addition to homestay services, the young Mong people also provide food services, trekking tours, and local cultural experiences... The peaceful beauty of Mu Cang Chai village in the season of thick plum blossoms captivates visitors.
