Peaceful Tha village
Quiet, authentic, picturesque – Tha village is well known among
tourists for its charm and peaceful beauty. Located just 2km from Ha Giang, Tha
village stands out for its stilt houses, green bamboo groves and lush rice
fields.
Tha village offers a gentle beauty far from the urban hubbub. The murmur of
limpid streams and a flirting wind in the palms welcome you at the village
entrance. Then you enter a mysteriously region submerged all year round in a
mist, a lush forest floor, where centuries-old values are still present. Here
you will come across no trace of modernity, no multi-storey buildings, and no
vehicles. Nguyen Van Nhuong lives in the village: "I prefer the wooden houses on
stilts to concrete housing. Building a house on stilts costs about 300 million
VND but it's worth it because it is very comfortable and airy throughout the
year. "
Here in the village you can take an actual breath of fresh air and enjoy the
warm hospitality of the people. The Tay people are very warm and welcoming. If a
stranger invites you to drink a cup of tea or offers her prettiest smile, do not
be surprised.
Tay people still weave brocade products like bags, scarves, skirts, and pants.
For a closer experience of Tay life, spend a night with the locals.
In addition to a taste of their corn alcohol, you will have the chance to savor
their many culinary specialties: fish with fermented bamboo shoots, chicken
salad, grilled pork with bamboo and wild vegetables. The Tay cook very well. Mai
Thi Chung lives in Tha village: “Tourists are impressed by our hospitality and
the customs we fiercely preserve over time. We offer our best recipes to
tourists. We grill meat on the pan - our best dishes served at Tay parties.
These dishes are prepared using lots of special spices, such as cardamom, basil,
pepper, and shrimp paste”.
After dinner, tourists can experience Then singing, the intangible heritage all
generations of Tay perpetuate. A singer improvises lyrics of his song while
playing a kind of guitar called a Tinh other while artists perform graceful
dances. Everything is in harmony like a painting of life in paradise.
