Not only is it a daily production activity, picking bamboo shoots in the highlands has now become a unique tourism experience, contributing to promoting indigenous culture and increasing income for people.
Within the framework of the highland green market during this year's holiday, visitors can experience a new experience of picking forest bamboo shoots.
Mr. Mua A Chenh - Secretary of the Party Cell, Head of Pa Hau village, Chieng Lao commune said: "The bamboo shoot picking experience program not only creates a joyful atmosphere but also helps people raise awareness of forest protection and properly exploit bamboo shoots. This is also an opportunity to promote local products and attract tourists to experience.
The special feature of the event is that visitors can directly enter the forest and harvest fresh bamboo shoots with their own hands.
After harvesting, bamboo shoots are brought back to be weighed and sold on the spot, bringing a feeling of authenticity and closeness to the working life of the highlands.
Many tourists are excited to both experience and be able to buy clean products to take home.
Participating in the activity for the first time, Ms. Luong Thu Thanh (Chieng Sinh ward) shared: "I really like being able to directly pick bamboo shoots and watch the teams compete in picking bamboo shoots. The atmosphere is joyful, close, clearly showing the working life of the people in the highlands. I also bought more local products as gifts.
In addition to the bamboo shoot picking experience program, this year's highland green market in Chieng Lao commune also attracted a large number of people and tourists.
Here, local products such as hill chicken, wild vegetables, ginger, turmeric, fresh bamboo shoots... are sold in abundance, ensuring freshness and deliciousness, imbued with the flavor of the mountains and forests.
Ms. Lo Thi Ban Bun - Secretary of the Party Committee of Chieng Lao commune, said: "Through the bamboo shoot picking experience program, the locality wishes to introduce the potential and advantages of forest resources, and at the same time create more experiential tourism products, contributing to increasing income for people.
Organizing the green fair fair not only creates a playground for people to exchange but also contributes to preserving traditional labor culture, opening up a sustainable community tourism development direction in the highlands of Son La.
