Culture festival dedicated to H’Mong ethnic pan-pipe
The H’Mong ethnic group’s pan-pipe festival will take place in Dong Van Karst Plateau in the northern mountainous province of Ha Giang this month.
During the three-day event, from August 31 to September 2, the festival will feature a wide range of cultural activities, including pan-pipe dance and performances of ancient songs. A dancing contest will be held, gathering local ethnic pan-pipe artists.
In addition to learning about the origin and history of this music instrument, tourists will also be able to join in with some traditional H’Mong games.
An art exhibition featuring paintings by veteran artist Do Duc will be open to public during the event. The painter has visited the karst plateau many times and fell in love with the land and its people, who have given him great inspiration for his artworks.
According to Chairman of the Dong Van Commune People’s Committee, Hoang Xuan Thinh, the festival aims to preserve and develop cultural values related to the H’Mong pan-pipe – a symbolic image of this ethnic group, thus further promoting the local ethnic culture to people.
Ha Giang Province and its Dong Van Karst Plateau is among the favourite destinations for both Vietnamese and foreign travellers.
