The Ha Giang provincial People’s Committee held a ceremony on Sep-16th to receive a certificate from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism recognising the Hoang Su Phi terraced fields as a national heritage site.
The ceremony highlighted the efforts made by the Ha Giang authorities and people to conserve the terraces and ensure their sustainability. It was held to raise public awareness about the fields and begin connecting them with other national heritage sites in Vietnam to promote their preservation and tourism potential. In addition to being aesthetically beautiful, the terraces also have great cultural and historical value.
The Hoang Su Phi terraced fields, located in Ban Luoc, San Sa Ho, Ban Phung, Ho Thau, Nam Ty and Thong Nguyen communes of Ha Giang province, are evidence of centuries of wet rice cultivation by ethnic minorities in the Hoang Su Phi area, including the Nung, Dao and La Chi ethnic groups.
The fifth Hoang Su Phi district Culture and Sports Festival also opened earlier, featuring traditional ethnic arts and cultures.
