The highlight of the week will be an arts programme staged by students at the Viet Bac Art and Culture College and ethnic minority groups.

Visitors will also be treated to special dishes from the Mong, Dao, Tay, and Nung ethinc minority people, especially those made in the northern province of Ha Giang from buckwheat flowers.

There will be various folk games on offer, like tug-of-war, nem con (throwing a ball through a ring for good luck), stilt-walking, and see-saws.

About 40 photos featuring the beauty of Ha Giang as well as the life of local ethnic minority groups will also be displayed during the week./.
