Bac Kan Culture - Tourism Week 2025: A proud mark

Floating stage on Cau River is shimmering and magical.

Bac Kan Culture - Tourism Week 2025 is a major event, especially meaningful in the year of celebrating the 125th anniversary of the founding of Bac Kan province, the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South, the reunification of the country, and the 135th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's birthday. With the theme "Song Cau - Where the source converges", the event has opened up an emotional journey of experience, where culture, sports , and tourism intertwine, shining on the beautiful natural background of the upstream land.

Where cultural values converge

On the opening night, with elaborate staging, the performances took the audience along the historical and cultural flow from Bac Kan to the provinces of the Cau River basin such as Thai Nguyen, Bac Giang, Bac Ninh, Hanoi , Hai Duong. The elaborately staged artistic performances were like a colorful symphony, honoring the national cultural identity, convergence and aspiration for sustainable development.

The highlight that cannot be missed is the elaborately designed floating stage in the middle of the poetic Cau River. In the light mist, the modern sound and lighting system has transformed the river into a magical silk strip, where art speaks for itself.

Traditional rafts are rowed rhythmically, carrying artists to perform right on the water, creating a dreamlike scene. The lights shining on the river reflect sparklingly, blending with the melodious Then melodies, the sounds of the Khen and the flute echoing through the mountains and forests, making the art space become lively and magical.

Ms. Tran Thi Khanh Huyen, Song Cau ward, Bac Kan city shared: This is truly a sublime art party on the water. It feels like being lost in a magical, shimmering fairyland on the poetic Cau river...

Not only a performance stage, the Cau River has become a cultural flow, connecting ancient and modern values, between basin areas, between nature and people.

Bac Kan: An attractive destination on the tourist map

Not only marked by large-scale cultural events such as the Culture - Tourism Week 2025, Bac Kan increasingly affirms its special attraction to domestic and international tourists. This land at the headwaters of the Cau River converges rare values of nature, culture and people.

Mr. Nguyen Manh Than, Vice President of Vietnam Tourism Association shared: Bac Kan has great advantages in terms of pristine nature, fresh climate, and rich ethnic culture. If we continue to invest systematically in products and communication, Bac Kan will certainly become a favorite destination for domestic and foreign tourists.

From the green gem of Ba Be Lake – one of the 20 most special freshwater lakes in the world, to natural wonders such as Nam Cat Lake, Hua Ma Cave, Dau Dang Waterfall, Puong Cave… Bac Kan opens up for tourists journeys to discover the majestic, wild and charming beauty. The primeval forests of Ba Be National Park – ASEAN Heritage Park – still whisper an endless green symphony.

Ba Be Lake - an ideal destination for tourists who love the fresh air.

Coming to Bac Kan is coming to the colorful cultural space of 7 ethnic groups, where Then, Sli, Luon, Pao Dung melodies resonate in the mountains and forests, where Bat dance - a national intangible heritage - is preserved and taught through many generations. Traditional festivals such as Long Tong, Gau Tao, Xuan Duong Love Market... still retain their traditional beauty, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the rhythm of life in the highlands.

Bac Kan cuisine is also an experience not to be missed. The rich flavor of bamboo shoots, Na Ri vermicelli, the sweet aroma of grilled Ba Be lake fish, the warm taste of fermented wine or the sophistication in the dishes of the Tay, Nung, Dao people... all leave an unforgettable impression on the hearts of those who enjoy them.

With outstanding natural advantages, rich cultural identity and friendly people, Bac Kan is gradually becoming an ideal "green destination" for tourists who love nature, love indigenous culture and seek new, profound experiences...

Even though in the future, Bac Kan will be merged into Thai Nguyen province, the cultural values, nature and people here will remain intact and shine. Merging to become stronger, to open up new development opportunities, to bring the identities of the Cau River, of the Then, Sli, Luon melodies… to resonate and fly further.

The 2025 Bac Kan Culture and Tourism Week has come to an end, but its echoes will continue to spread, like a heartfelt invitation to friends and visitors from near and far: Come to Bac Kan - where cultural sources converge, where nature and people together write the most beautiful stories…/.
