When orchids bloom with the smile of a highland girl

Amidst the colorful and fragrant atmosphere at the Lai Chau City Orchid Festival 2025, the images of ethnic girls in ao dai, ao com, and ao tho...

Every late spring and early summer, the land at the end of the Northwest sky is lit up with a myriad of brilliant orchid colors. The deep purple color of Lai Chau trumpet orchids; the gentle, feminine pink color of pearl orchids; or the long flowing white crane orchids… All of these colors create a harmony of the Northwest sky and land. That beauty has attracted many tourists from all over to the mountainous town of Lai Chau - where the most beautiful orchid baskets converge.

Each blooming orchid bud seems to remind us of the strong desire to rise up, as well as the way the women of the Northwest in general, and Lai Chau in particular, still silently preserve traditional culture every day, beautifying the village more and more beautifully. Young girls and orchids - two separate beauties but harmoniously blend together, creating a poetic and proud harmony of the Northwest land and sky. Each meticulously hand-embroidered brocade skirt, each cluster of wild orchids that is cherished and cared for, all reflect the deep attachment between people and nature here.
