For those who want to enjoy the gentle fragrance and admire the mysterious beauty of buckwheat flowers, it is important to know the ideal time and place. Let's explore the brilliant beauty of Ha Giang plateau in buckwheat flower season with iGuide.ai!
Buckwheat flower season is usually in October and November every year, and is grown in many districts of the Dong Van Stone Plateau and Suoi Thau grasslands, Xin Man district, Ha Giang province. In season, the pink color of buckwheat flowers stretches into fields, precariously on the cat-ear rocks, behind the ancient villages in Ha Giang. The tiny flowers make the mountain and forest scenery both majestic and poetic.
The color of buckwheat flowers when they first bloom is mainly white and light pink. Later, when the temperature drops and the air is cold, the flowers will have a dominant purple or dark pink color. Buckwheat flowers are most beautiful when the petals turn purple-pink. The flowers bloom in clusters, the petals gather into a cone shape.
Lo Lo ethnic girls in brocade dresses amidst the dense flower forests create a unique image of Ha Giang, leaving a unique impression on tourists coming here. Tourists coming to Ha Giang can rent ethnic costumes to take pictures with buckwheat flowers, bearing the mark of the mountainous region. However, the weather when buckwheat flowers bloom in Ha Giang is quite cold, so visitors need to prepare thermal clothing or warm clothes inside.
In the past, buckwheat flowers were mainly grown for their seeds, which were used to make cakes to store for people to fight hunger during the lean season. It is also an oriental medicine. Buckwheat has an astringent, slightly spicy taste, neutral properties, and has the effect of clearing away dampness, eliminating swelling, and clearing heat and detoxifying.
Thanks to the development of tourism, this beautiful flower is known to more tourists. Nowadays, to serve the needs of tourists, Ha Giang people grow flowers in alternating seasons from early autumn to the end of winter. Therefore, tourists can see the flowers at more times, not just during festivals.
Visiting the buckwheat flower season, visitors can also see images of Mong ethnic children, barefoot, holding hands with innocent faces, playing in the flower fields. The crisp, mischievous laughter of the children in the middle of the vast buckwheat flower fields seems strange but very familiar, making visitors feel like they are returning to their childhood many years ago.
