Bac Giang - Beautiful as its name, Bac Hoa village is a place with a peaceful rhythm of life and the beauty of traditional houses and land, hidden between green fields and high mountains.
Nestled at the foot of the mountain in the province of canvas growing in Luc Ngan, Bac Hoa village brings an interesting experience to visitors when they have to travel through the hills of yellow flowery canvas, or the mountain pass with a steep cliff on one side and a new abyss on the other.Stopping at the beginning of the main road leading to the village, the scene of Bac Hoa village appears peaceful and familiar. The road leading to the village crosses a small stream, with both sides being green fields. The end of the road is covered with ancient, wall-lined houses, covered with Yin-yang tiles next to each other. This is a Nung village with nearly 100 houses submitting to the People's Land.Meeting Mr. Luong Van Son - a young man of the village, we were enthusiastically invited by him to go into the house, drink water and chat. While away, he introduced his house as well as many surrounding houses. "Currently, there are about 20 houses in the village that still retain the ancient architectural style, made of earth and roofed with Yin-yang tiles," said Mr. Son.To complete the house, it usually takes people a few months, from the stage of getting the soil, mixing the soil, making the mold... Therefore, in the past, anyone who built a house or pulled buffaloes and harvested rice would come to help each other.The moss and decoration on the Yin-yang tiled roof has even dyed the small house in the village with ancient colors. The architecture of the house here is usually 3 rooms or 5 rooms, the upper part is a beam system, a canteen... "Warm winter breeze, sunny at noon, every time you enter the house, it cools up", Mr. Son said while laughing.The air in Bac Hoa village is fresh, peaceful, sunny and windy. Standing in front of a small yard where the peach trees bloom late, looking far away is a field with only chrysanthemum flowers, covered with layers of fabric, and white flowers covering the hills. If you want to go to a house to play, just step into the yard, because here, people do not use a brick wall to cover the jackfruit but often make a canopy or leave it empty.This season, people in Bac Hoa are busy taking care of fabric hills. In addition to making nests and fields, fabric is a crop that brings income to the people. After checking the fabric garden, when she met us, Ms. Duong Thi Chi enthusiastically invited us to play at her house. "The lychee flowering season here is the most severe season, taking care of the lychee and preparing for the new rice crop," Ms. Chi said.After finishing the hard work, according to Ms. Chi, the people in Bac Hoa village will have a big Tet holiday. During the year, people here have many major holidays such as the 3rd Lunar New Year (the beginning of the season when sowing), October 10 of the new moon celebrating rice. Most especially, the Tinh market held on January 12 attracted all villagers, from the old, young, and girls to have fun. In the music flowing through the mountains and forests and the bright pink color of the blooming peach blossoms, the people of Bac Hoa gathered to chat, eat, sing, and play folk games.The afternoon sunlight gradually fell, making Bac Hoa village even more ancient, peaceful, and fragrant with the occasional smell of ripe rice. The rooster crowing from afar, mixed with the sound of children playing in the distant hours. Bac Hoa people also finished their long working day, some led horses, some muddy and muddy to return home.According to Mr. Luong Van Son, Bac Hoa village in recent years has had more beautiful roads to the village, and more tourists coming to visit. The villagers have started to grow more chrysanthemum flower fields, both for tourists to take photos and harvest for the economy.Bac Hoa village still retains its original appearance, and does not have many tourism services, so this is a suitable place to go during the day. When visiting Luc Ngan district, in addition to Bac Hoa village, visitors can experience harvesting fabric in the ripe season or visit some other attractive places: Chu bread village, Khuon Than lake, Ta Cang stream...
