From Cao Bang, it takes you only 1 hour and a half to stop your motorbikes right in front of the peaceful village of Quang Uyen district, where is famous for traditional cultural festivals. If our northeast Vietnam motorbike tour - 8 days crew is lucky enough, we can attend the crop- praying ceremony of Tay people held annually in April and May of the lunar calendar. In the morning of the ceremony, people prepare offerings and cook. In the afternoon, there are two parts: worshiping and gathering at the neighborhood culture house. The offerings of Land Gennie are carried out by the village chief, consisting of pork, meat, sticky rice, and wine. Therefore, the seasonal praying ceremony is done thoughtfully.
When the ritual of worship finished, the village leader will inform people to go to the neighborhood culture house. Here, everyone has fun eating and drinking, talking about family and agricultural work. This ceremony reflects their wishes for favorable weather, bumper harvests, good health, and happy life. It is a popular form of community cultural activities of Tay people in Quang Uyen district. Besides, this festival is also a harmonious combination of spiritual life and national solidarity.
From Quang Uyen, you can ride more 50 km to Ban Gioc waterfalls. The waterfall possesses magnificent and charming beauty that nature has bestowed to the place. The cool summer water of Ban Gioc waterfall will make you just want to release yourself and immerse into it. To get ready for the next day, you will stay overnight at a lovely homestay at Quang Uyen.
