[Photo] March, Ban flowers bloom in the mountains and forests of Son La

March - the season when bees go to collect honey, the whole Northwest suddenly brightens up, radiant with flowers competing to show off their colors, including the white and purple color of the Ban flowers blooming all over the mountains and forests of Son La. This is also a favorable opportunity for tourists to visit to admire the beauty of the flowers associated with the lives of the ethnic groups of Son La.

Along both sides of Highway 6 or the steep cliffs... from Moc Chau town through Yen Chau district, Mai Son to Son La city and then to Thuan Chau district, the Bauhinia flowers have bloomed. In particular, when arriving in Son La city, visitors can also see the flowers along the main road of the city with rows of Bauhinia trees in white and purple.

This year, Son La city will organize the Ban Flower Festival on March 15 and 16, to honor, preserve and promote various types of national cultural heritage associated with preserving and promoting tourism potential. The festival will feature many cultural and artistic activities along with folk games imbued with national identity.

In the daily life of the Thai ethnic group in Son La or at festivals..., the Thai ethnic group often use Ban flowers as offerings to express their desire for life, desire for couples and gratitude to the land, sky and ancestors.

Every year, to prepare for the Ban flower festival, Son La city organizes decoration and pruning of leaves of Ban trees on main roads.

Everywhere on the roads of Son La at this time, you can see the characteristic white color of rows of Bauhinia trees competing to show off their colors.

The pistil of the Bauhinia flower has a sweet taste and is very popular with bees. The Bauhinia flower petals have a rich taste and the Thai people often use them to make a unique Bauhinia flower salad, attracting visitors from afar with its special flavor...

Every March, Son La's Ban flower region becomes even more special when the Ban flowers bloom brilliantly all over the roads, communes, villages, mountains, and hills...

In Son La, Bauhinia trees are also planted in the central areas of districts, towns and cities, creating highlights and also a place for tourists to take photos every time the Bauhinia flowers bloom.

Not only tourists from outside Son La province, but also Thai ethnic girls in the province eagerly wait for the blooming season to pose and capture moments with their ethnic traditional shirts and scarves...
