My friend said that when the eco- tourism and community tourism spots in the mountainous areas of Quang Nam are gradually "making their mark" on the tourist map, adventures capturing beautiful moments are always chosen and sought after by "followers". Especially, in the "downhill" mist season, amidst the magical scenery, ethnic minority villages appear and disappear under the white mist, creating a strange attraction.
Spring travel upstream
A bit of gentle spring sunshine falls on the corner of Voong village (Tr'Hy commune, Tay Giang). Very quickly, the white mist covering each roof begins to move. That moment recalls a few years ago, also on the road to the border commune of Tr'Hy - Que peak with mountain mist appearing in the floating spring sunshine, a feeling both far and near.
The highland villages appear in the white mist. On the top of the hazy A Xan mountain, A Rang village shimmers in the open space. The sky is covered with thick clear mist, a closed arc with the mirror in the middle gradually appears, the Co Tu village is strangely beautiful in the eyes of tourists.
Strangely, the Co Tu people wake up very early. As soon as it is light, the elderly women bring their looms to the front porch and sit there weaving brocade. As a unique feature, the skillful hands of the Co Tu women help weave colorful brocades, becoming gifts for guests during the new spring days.
Mr. Alang Toa - Head of A Rang village said, according to the Co Tu culture, on Tet holiday, local people often have the custom of giving lucky money to distinguished guests with brocade or family jewelry such as agate, beads, sculptures... These gifts, although not of great material value, contain the host's feelings for the guests and have a deep humanistic meaning, wishing everyone a peaceful new year.
“During Tet, guests coming to the village, especially those from far away, are warmly welcomed by the Co Tu people. The best dishes are served as a way to express affection, because the Co Tu people believe that only affection for each other is the most important thing. That is also the most meaningful spring gift,” said Mr. Alang Toa.
In the spring in the highlands, many interesting destinations are formed from works with community significance. In addition to the space of the village house, at the beginning of the new year, the highland people often visit the rivers, streams, primeval forests and even hydroelectric dams at the foot of the mountains. In Nam Giang, in recent years, the Nam Giang - Dac Ta Ooc International Border Gate area has become an ideal spring destination for people living along the Vietnam - Laos border...
Experience unique space
In recent years, Tet for the people of the highlands is not only limited to visiting and wishing each other a happy new year, but also a time to spend more time on the journey of experience. "Where to go this Tet", the question from friends during the year-end gathering always urges us to look for new destinations with unique spaces.
Last year, we went on a spring trip together on the legendary Ho Chi Minh trail. However, we were not the only visitors. Along the 50km-long route from Prao (Dong Giang) to Thanh My (Nam Giang), we occasionally encountered groups of people, including foreign tourists, who shared the same interest in experiencing the “white mist road” at the beginning of the new year.
Coincidentally, we captured beautiful moments at our stops. Amidst the floating mountain mist, the lake became even more clear and blue. The random combination of nature created a gentle, peaceful and poetic scene. At the foot of Truong Son mountain, the feeling of being immersed in the cold mist was like being lost somewhere both strange and familiar.
Mr. Tran Ngoc Hung - Head of the Department of Culture and Information of Nam Giang district said that in recent years, tourists have gradually become interested in the journey to experience the Tet atmosphere of the mountainous people. Many appointments have been connected by people doing community tours, bringing tourists closer to the space of the mountainous villages, the traditional Tet atmosphere, as well as the unique spring travel story at the "heaven's gate"...
“Some young people like to explore and experience. And during Tet, they often invite each other to visit streams, primeval forests, hydroelectric reservoirs, border markers to... enjoy spring. For them, it is not simply a journey of experience, but an opportunity to immerse themselves in nature, praying for a new year of good health and luck,” Mr. Hung shared.
Seizing the opportunity from the experiential tourism trend, Mr. Hung said, the locality is building a community tourism model in Dong Ram (Thanh My town) with many vibrant and unique spaces through discovery and experience tours, promising to bring visitors many interesting surprises.
