However, for the H'Mong and Chinese ethnic people, they will calculate the meeting schedule for Lui Ha Giang Market in their own way.

It could be a pair of Rat - Horse, Tiger - Monkey, Snake - Pig, something like that.

The King Meo Mansion, also known as the Vuong Family Mansion, is located in Sa Phin valley, Lung Phin commune, Dong Van district, Ha Giang province, about 125km from the city center and from the Dong Stone Plateau. Famous Van is only 15km away. This ancient house is associated with the life and career of two Mong father and son, King Meo Vuong Chinh Duc and Vuong Chi Sinh (or Vuong Chi Thanh). Mr. Vuong Chinh Duc (1886 - 1962) was the head of the feudal land government in the mountainous areas of the Mong people, so he was also known by the powerful name of King Meo. His son, who followed the revolutionary path, thanks to his contributions to the country, was elected as a National Assembly deputy for the first two terms. Construction began in 1898 and was officially completed in 1907, costing a huge sum of 150,000 Indochina white silver coins, equivalent to 150 billion VND today. The mansion was designed and built by Chinese Yunnan workers in conjunction with Mong ethnic people, creating a project larger than 1200m2 on an area of about 3000m2. Thanks to its long history and indisputable cultural value, King Cat Palace was ranked a national monument by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in 1993, after nearly a century of existence. In addition, this mansion also took up to 5 years to start construction because it was all built with human power and did not use any mechanical means. King Cat's mansion is located at the foot of a valley surrounded above by a high land. With this type of terrain, the entire structure is protected by mountain arcs called turtle shell positions, providing very good defense support during times of fierce war. After more than a hundred years of existence, everything in the mansion is still as intact as the first day, creating excitement for everyone who comes here to check prices at least once in their life. The architecture inside the mansion is extremely unique, the crystallization of three different cultures including the Mong, French and Chinese. The project includes 4 horizontal houses, 6 vertical houses divided into 3 areas: front palace (for guards and slaves), middle palace and rear palace (place to live and work) with 64 small rooms divided into 2 floors. . To meet the criteria of solidity, the builders used green stone to help the mansion stand firm against enemies and time. The roofs, walls and pillars are made of wood to add majesty and flexibility to the rooms. Another material used is terracotta for building tile roofs to make shaping easier but no less sturdy. To this day, the Cat King Palace is one of the few buildings that meets all the requirements for a place to live, work and become a defense base whenever a war occurs. Despite the combination of three cultures in architecture, many people commented that the Vuong family mansion is extremely harmonious, flexible and rhythmic as if forming a unified block without being restrictive or forced. In addition, although it is a project built on a land area of up to 3,000 square meters, the mansion is not as large or massive as many people imagine because it is composed of small subdivisions, with a simple, rusticity of folk architectural culture. The design with the principle of low inside and high outside makes the overall mansion even closer to the surrounding landscape. In general, most of the furniture and items associated with King Cat when he was alive have been kept and well preserved until today. Only a few chairs and wooden furniture were made of stone pine, which was later replaced by our government with ironwood and crushed wood to prevent it from gradually disappearing over time. The wooden structures have a rich local cultural identity by carving native flower patterns such as peaches, poppies... The pillars are crafted to resemble the fruit of the opium poppy, a plant that King Cat does business to make money to build a mansion. Some Western-influenced items in this project include a stone goat milk bathtub, glass shutters next to the fireplace, and the entrance is made of marble connected by a frame. Iron flowers are bold in French architecture. Existing with the unique architecture of the Cat King Mansion are surrounding stories that have been passed down from the time it was built until later. Legend has it that the original residence of King Meo Vuong Duc Chinh was in a high mountain foot next to a large canyon. With a subordinate's suggestion that the place did not conform to feng shui, the Vuong family listened and found a teacher who understood astronomy and geography to quickly find a place with both favorable terrain and good feng shui. He sent soldiers to China to invite Truong Chieu, a man who was good at reading physiognomy to build houses, to come find a location to build a mansion. After a period of careful consideration, he chose Sa Phin as the new residence for the Cat King. Truong Chieu asserted that what is surrounded by Sa Phin valley is a turtle-shaped hill, built on the turtle's back will bring wealth and prosperity, and is also the land where heroes gather. Another mysterious anecdote related to the King Cat Mansion was during the time of Vuong Chi Sinh's son. The entire Wang family was bewitched by a Han feng shui master, to the point that there was almost no one to continue the family line. Accordingly, when the Cat King was alive, he suffered from back pain and tried many miracle doctors and four-way remedies without success. A Han teacher said that his father's grave was buried on the back of a dragon, which was a sin, so his superiors reprimanded him. Believing the words, the Cat King moved the tomb to another location, suspecting that the Han people were playing a bad role and making up stories to harm him. Because of breaking the taboo, the Cat King's first wives were unable to have children. Only the fourth wife gave birth to a son, named Vuong Duy Tho.

But that's not all of Dong Van. Hidden deep in the layers of rock and soil, there is a small town called Pho Bang. This is a little-known land. Even though it has been forgotten over the years, it still retains its wild, ancient and strangely peaceful features. In the past, when mentioning Pho Bang, people often immediately thought of the busiest marijuana and drug trading center in Ha Giang, but after being cleared, this place retreated and had an almost closed life with others. the outside world. Due to its geographical location, hidden deep in the rock layer, the road to Pho Bang is quite difficult and dangerous. We can start from Dong Van old town and go back about 17 km. With dangerous and precarious mountain passes where one side is a deep abyss and the other is a high mountain, you should firmly hold the steering wheel and pay attention to the signs and convex mirrors mounted on both sides of the road.

Hanging on it are red couplets and a lantern with engraved words of Ha Giang. The Chinese ethnic people have become discolored over the years. Things that were seemingly unusable for a long time, now under the talented hands of the ethnic people living in this land, have created a rare, ancient and wild beauty in the Northwest high mountains.

Day after day, no matter how the world and people change, the lifestyle of ethnic people still follows a certain trajectory. Young men still carry baskets to work in the fields, and women diligently carry their children on their backs without forgetting their work. Occasionally we see small children with dirty clothes but their eyes radiate clarity, wild innocence and full of life like buckwheat flowers growing on dry, rocky mountain slopes. With a pristine, ancient scenery that few people know about, an ethnic group with a simple and elegant lifestyle have all created the peaceful small town of Pho Bang.

One Pillar Pagoda was started construction in the year Ky Suu 1049, under the reign of King Ly Thai Tong. According to folk legend, in a dream, King Ly Thai Tong dreamed of Guan Yin Buddha sitting on a lotus, radiating light and inviting the king to come with him. When the king woke up from his dream, he immediately told his servant. Monk Thien Tue advised the king to build a pagoda on a stone pillar just like in his dream, making a lotus throne for the Buddha to sit on. In history books, it is recorded that at the current location of the One Pillar Pagoda, there is a stone pillar above which there is a jade pagoda. In the jade pavilion, there is a statue of Guan Yin Buddha that was built in a square lake. The king often came here to chant Buddhist scriptures and pray. Later, the next prince repaired the pagoda and built a pagoda next to it 10 meters to the southwest. This cluster of relics was named Dien Huu Tu with the hope of "long-lasting blessings". In 1105, King Ly Nhan Tong repaired the pagoda and built two white porcelain-roofed towers in front of the yard. In 1108, Nguyen Phi Y Lan ordered someone to cast a large bell and named it "General Enlightenment" with the meaning of awakening the hearts of the world. During the war against the French, the One Pillar Pagoda was mined and destroyed by the French expeditionary force. After taking over the capital, the Ministry of Culture of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam researched and established a major restoration project to rebuild the One Pillar Pagoda exactly like the original architecture. In 1955, Hanoi's One Pillar Pagoda was restored and preserved until now. Next to it, there is still a pagoda with a three-entrance gate with a horizontal panel inscribed with the three words "Dien Huu Tu". In 1962, the One Pillar Pagoda complex in Hanoi was recognized as a National Historical Architectural and Artistic Monument. By 2012, the One Pillar Pagoda was honored by the Asian Records Organization to set the record for "The temple with the most unique architecture in Asia". The original structure of the One Pillar Pagoda is supported by wooden beams holding firmly to the stone pillars. The structure of the One Pillar Pagoda currently includes: Pillars, Lotus pedestal, and pagoda roof. The pillars of the one-pillar pagoda are built with two stone pillars overlapping each other, forming a vertical pillar with a height of 4 m, not including the sunken part below the base. The diameter of the stone column is 1.2 m wide, making the viewer feel "as solid as stone". The Lotus Palace has a square shape of 3 m on each side, blocking the surrounding balcony, supported by a system of solid military columns, underneath are large wooden beams securely attached directly to the stone pillars. The tenon joints are precisely chiseled to each inch and the joints fit tightly together, creating an extremely sturdy structure. Inside the Lien Hoa station is luxuriously decorated, with an altar above which is placed a gilded statue of Guan Yin Buddha with a thousand eyes and a thousand hands. Surrounded by many worship objects: a pair of ceramic water vases, a lotus flower vase, a set of altar tea and bowls, and a bronze incense burner. The altar is painted with gilded vermilion and decorated with many yellow cloud motifs. On the innermost ceiling, there is a small horizontal panel with three golden words "Lien Hoa Dai" written on it, painted red. The pagoda's roof is covered with traditional brick-red scale tiles covered with moss over time. Each tile is a manifestation of the skill and meticulousness of the craftsman. When roofing tiles, the most difficult step is to match the tiles at the corner of the gutter so that there are no gaps, because this is the junction between the four edges of the pagoda roof, which often have gaps. If you want to roof tiles in this location conveniently, right from the stage of making and joining the joints, the joints must be really tight and match each other. One Pillar Pagoda has four curved roofs with knife heads soaring into the sky, also known as "blade ships". The pagoda's roof is supported by a system of levers extending close to the bottom. On the top of the pagoda's roof is the image of "two dragons flanking the moon", this is a typical architectural feature in pagodas, temples, communal houses and shrines. The two dragons bend their bodies and turn their tails toward each other, but their heads are facing the moon. This architectural feature symbolizes fertility and harmony of yin and yang. The pair of dragons symbolizes positive energy, and the moon shape represents negative energy. The sum total is the number three of fertility, that's why when people go to temples, they often light 3 incense sticks to symbolize the 3 objects in "two dragons flanking the moon". This is an image imbued with humanity in the nation's spiritual artistic architecture. The lotus flower is considered a symbol in Buddhist culture, reminding people of the virtues of honesty, patience, innocence, direct action... Lotus Flower Dai is crafted in the image of a lotus placed on a high stone pillar. In the middle of Linh Chieu lake, it seems as if it is reaching up to escape the worldly world. An extremely elegant, pure and unique image. Linh Chieu Lake has a surrounding flower wall decorated with cubic motifs. Outside, another large lake is dug, called Bich Tri lake. Bich Tri Lake is located within the grounds of Dien Huu Pagoda, located to the right of One Pillar Pagoda. In front of the yard of Dien Huu pagoda is the Bach Tuynh stone tower. From the stone tower there is a small bridge leading to the One Pillar Pagoda. On the full moon day or the first day of every month, the administrators organize a cleaning ceremony and perform worshiping ceremonies in the temple. People also often come to visit and worship from afar. In the summer, the temple is open to welcome visitors every day of the week, in the winter it is closed every Monday and Friday of the week. There is no charge to visit the temple. Coming to One Pillar Pagoda, people often pray for perfect wisdom and full vitality.
