Mr. Nguyen Van Minh, a tourist from Hanoi , shared: "I have traveled to many places, but nowhere else has peach blossoms as beautiful and natural as in Lang Son. Not only did I get to admire the flowers, but I also got to immerse myself in the lives of the Tay and Nung ethnic groups, listening to them tell stories about their traditional customs."

Beyond the vibrant blossoms, the peach blossom season is also a time of lively festivals throughout the highlands of Lang Son. Local people hold the Long Tong festival, singing sli and luon songs in a joyful atmosphere to welcome spring.
