Bac Son Golden Season Festival: A colorful experience of agriculture and indigenous culture

Taking place in the golden rice valley (Bac Son commune, Lang Son province), the Bac Son Golden Season Festival 2025 is a unique cultural space to honor local values ​​and promote tourism potential. Taking place until November 15, the festival attracts visitors with a series of unique experiential activities, and is also an opportunity for the local community to be proud of the Quynh Son Community Tourism Village, which has just been honored by the United Nations Tourism Organization (UN Tourism) as "The best tourist village in 2025".

From November 8 to 15, the Bac Son Golden Season Festival is offering visitors the experience of immersing themselves in the agricultural life and culture of the Tay and Nung ethnic groups.

Within the framework of the Bac Son Golden Season Festival, visitors are invited to participate in a series of unique competitions and experiences. Agricultural competitions such as rice harvesting and pounding with rudimentary tools help visitors clearly visualize the beauty of traditional labor of local people.

Visitors can also try their hand at the black banh chung wrapping competition and directly participate in making yin-yang tiles - cultural characteristics of Bac Son land. In addition, for those who love adventure and exploration , paragliding and SUP rowing over the ripe rice valley are the most anticipated experiences, providing a unique and impressive perspective of the brilliant "Golden Season" landscape.

Visitors can participate in rice harvesting and pounding competitions using primitive tools.

In addition to the experiential activities, the Festival is a place to display, introduce and promote many typical products of Lang Son . This is a good opportunity for OCOP products, typical products of the province to reach consumers, while creating conditions for tourists to connect and interact with local people.

This year's event also reinforced community pride when Bac Son's Quynh Son Community Tourism Village was officially honored by UN Tourism as "Best Tourism Village of 2025". This title is a testament to the efforts to develop tourism associated with heritage conservation, promote livelihoods and move towards green, sustainable tourism. Quynh Son, a place that preserves unique traditional cultural values, has become an international standard for high-quality community tourism models.

Quynh Son has successfully surpassed 270 applications from 65 countries to receive this noble title on October 17, 2025. This is a worthy recognition for a high-quality community tourism model, based on strict criteria on governance, creativity, sustainability, environment and contribution to the United Nations' sustainable development goals.

The Bac Son Golden Season Festival is bringing visitors experiences of immersing themselves in the agricultural life and culture of the Tay and Nung ethnic groups.

Quynh Son community village, home to the Tay ethnic people, is a typical tourism model of Lang Son with a journey of more than 15 years of construction. This place not only preserves unique traditional cultural values ​​and indigenous knowledge but also demonstrates the efforts of the local government and people in developing green, friendly and sustainable tourism. Being honored is a golden opportunity for Lang Son to promote tourism and attract investment and international cooperation.
