Thai Hong Pear Flower Garden

In the early morning sunlight, the pear gardens with pure white flowers in Hong Thai commune (Na Hang) are as beautiful as a giant crystal strip, captivating visitors. The warm spring weather is also the time when the pear garden blooms at its fullest and most beautiful. Whether the weather is hazy due to thick fog or clear blue and sunny, being immersed in the beautiful pear gardens in Hong Thai gives us a wonderful feeling that we don't want to leave. In the past, plum trees grew wild in the forest. The fruit was not big, the color was not eye-catching, but it was delicious because of its sour taste, crispy skin and strong sweetness. Thuong Lam girls are charming, gentle, willing to work hard. The natural beauty of Tay girls and their hands to spin cotton, weave fabrics, and embroider brocade have created the age-old cultural beauty of the people here. Surprisingly, the two lands are hundreds of kilometers apart, but the song still brings people and nature closer together. The song makes people more proud and love the nature and people of Tuyen's mountainous region. Plums and pears have existed since ancient times in Hong Thai, a land of many white clouds, many high mountains and several degrees colder than other areas of Tuyen Quang. Residents living on high mountain slopes and farming on terraced fields are mainly Dao Tien people. There are also Mong and Tay people. Their creative and diligent labor from generation to generation has carved a picture of their mountainous homeland. For a long time, plums and pears were just things to eat, entertain guests, and give to relatives and friends. Very rarely is it a commodity product. The tree lives humbly on hillsides or mountain slopes. Spring comes, each tree has its own look, offering the world a season of pure, white flowers. It seems that only when the tree wears new clothes, people are startled to think of the tree, of the cycle of creation. Over the past decade, as tourism has developed, pears and plums have become the highlight of this land. Especially when Hong Thai Terraced Fields was recognized as a National Landscape, pear trees were focused on growing and taking care of people. Pear forests with several hectares of land and hundreds of trees are cared for, pruned, and invested in watering systems. An entire road of pear flowers, up to 6 km long, with nearly 1,000 trees, from Khau Trang village to Na Mu village. Just a few days ago, people planted pears along the winding concrete road, but now pears have bloomed white flowers all over the sky. The tree trunks and branches of pears have white mold and rough patches of symbiotic lichen, and have cracked clusters of beautiful little buds. They huddled, crowded together, sparkling like the silver beams of Dao girls. Thousands of tiny raindrops, resting lightly on thin wings. Clouds and mist like veils also come here to reside. The milky white sky crept lower. They carry moisture to the plant. Under the tree, the grass has just grown green. The white of the flowers, the green of the grass, it seems they are racing with Spring. Many tourists suddenly uttered the poem of the great poet Nguyen Du: "The young green grass creeps up the horizon/The white pear branch is dotted with a few flowers." The end of February and beginning of March is when the weather is in full bloom. Each flower branch, intertwined with each other, resembles a white bridge hanging in the air. On the flower beds, bees were busy searching for honey, accidentally pollinating and bearing fruit for the trees. When the gardener whitewashed each tree stump, the pear tree now looked like a Dao girl wearing white leggings, just stepping out of the Khau Trang fields. Here and there, next to the pear tree are patches of moldy rocks and moss growing around. Standing stones, lying around the base. Strangely enough, the hard, dry thing blends with the pure, clear pear flower. Wandering around the village, we will encounter yin and yang tile roofs. The Dao people's house is spacious and warm like your heart. The houses are close together, at the back of the mountain, at different heights, clustered together into villages. People share the same water source. Water flows from high mountains all year round, gurgling to the village, then distributed to every house. Water to cool garden plants and fields. Pear flowers light up the deep tiled roof, or does the tiled roof make the pear blossoms shine? The costumes of the Dao Tien people are the same, amidst the dark indigo color, the bright spots of silver buttons stand out. As time passed, the pear silently grew, until it was harvested, humble again in its simple brown color. You can go up the mountain slope to explore ancient Shan Tuyet tea trees. The age of the tree is up to a hundred years. To harvest tea, people have to climb trees, vine branches, and pick buds. The outer bark of the tree trunk is white mold. There are trees that I can't wrap my arms around. In cold weather, tea trees have to wear an extra layer of warm clothing, which is a layer of patchy lichen. Tea overcomes cold dew and cold wind, leaving it for buds all year round.

Miss Mo is famous for her beautiful figure, gentle personality, skin as white as a banyan flower, eyes as clear as lake water, and pink lips like rice flowers. One day, her husband went to pick medicine in the mountains but never returned home. Ms. Mo was at home feeling anxious and missed her husband, so she decided to go to the top of Pac Ban to find him. She kept walking, but strangely, when she neared the top, the sky darkened, forcing her to stop and rest. When I woke up, the mountain top seemed higher than yesterday. She kept walking until one day and night covered the entire mountain top and she kept going. The darkness fell down the mountainside and became a waterfall. From far away, visitors will clearly hear the sound of rushing water. The closer you get, the colder the air spreads. When you reach the waterfall, you seem to be lost in a fairyland scene. The waterfall is hidden at the foot of the mountain, right below there is a clear blue lake. From here you will sit down to reach the waterfall. Sitting on a small boat, visitors have the opportunity to relax and admire the natural scenery of clouds, mountains, trees, and forests "embracing" each other. If viewed from below, Mo Tuyen Quang waterfall releases white foam just like a staircase reaching high into the sky. The waterfall is divided into 3 levels: At the first waterfall, the water poured very strongly, the streams of water raced violently against the horizontal rocks, creating white foam. The second waterfall flows more gently and gently, each stream gurgling through the rocks. The high rocks are covered with many layers of green moss. Right at the foot of the waterfall there is a small clear blue lake. People here tell each other that this is the tears of missing her husband. The third waterfall is the highest point of Mo Tuyen Quang waterfall with huge streams of water flowing strongly right at the foot of the waterfall. The air here is colder due to ice and steam, creating excitement and refreshment for adventurous guests.

In Indochina, the French army became increasingly bogged down in the war and fell into a passive defensive position. To save the situation, the French Government created the Rêve plan to blockade the border, use puppet troops for occupation, and concentrate European and African troops into a mobile force to carry out the policy of "using the Vietnamese to fight". Vietnamese people", "using war to feed war". In Cao Bang, France focused on strengthening the system of military bases and posts on Highway No. 4 from Cao Bang town to Dong Khe, That Khe, Na Sam, Lang Son; in which Dong Khe is an important sub-region, the shield of Cao Bang. On our side, along with strengthening military forces and expanding liberated areas, to enlist the support of people's democratic countries around the world, our Party and President Ho Chi Minh advocate promoting public works.

Cao Bang was chosen as the main battlefield of the Border campaign, because Cao Bang has a common border with Guangxi province - China, a convenient international exchange route, and is the focal point of important strategic roads. Road No. 4 runs along the Northeast border to the Gulf of Tonkin coastal region. Road No. 3 connects Cao Bang - Bac Kan - Thai Nguyen.

Given the importance of the Campaign, from the end of August 1950, despite being busy with many important matters, President Ho Chi Minh - the supreme leader - went to the front with the Campaign Command to directly direct the Campaign. campaign, mobilizing soldiers and people to fight. The victory of the Border Campaign has profound national and era significance.

President Ho Chi Minh and General Vo Nguyen Giap. The Border Campaign eliminated more than 8,300 enemies from combat, liberating the entire Vietnam-China border from Cao Bang to Dinh Lap with 350,000 people, with an area of ​​4,500 km2; breaching France's "East-West Corridor". The enemy's siege both inside and outside of the Viet Bac base was broken. The victory of the Border Campaign changed the war situation between us and France, creating a new change in attack and counter-attack strategies, contributing to bringing the resistance war to victory, culminating in the campaign. Dien Bien Phu in 1954. When looking back at France's failure in the Indochina war, former Governor General of Indochina Catoru bitterly confirmed: "The failure of the French army at the Vietnam-China border in October/ 1950 had a decisive influence on the fate of Indochina and Dien Bien Phu later suffered from that influence. The victory of the Border victory in 1950 proved the correctness of the "all-people, comprehensive, long-term, relying on one's own strength" war policy proposed by the Party and President Ho Chi Minh. The lessons of promoting internal strength, building resistance forces, and building the army to achieve victory in the 1950 Border Campaign still remain valuable in the current work of building and protecting the homeland.

Ho Thang Hen

Thang Hen Lake, hidden behind the canopy of old forests and cat-eared cliffs, is a blue diamond-shaped lake with four seasons. The Tay people say it resembles the tail of a bee, so they call it Thang Hen ("bee tail" in the Tay language). Thang Hen is the largest freshwater lake among the 36 freshwater lakes in Tra Linh district. Although they are separated, they are connected by underground caves. The lake water is hazy jade green all year round, even during flood season - when other lakes in the same area are red with mud. The reason is because the lake's upstream is Thang Hen cave at high altitude. Water pouring out from the mouth of the cave provides a source of "clean water" for the lake. According to the legend of the Tay people, in the past, Cao Bang land had a handsome and intelligent man named Sung. After passing the exam, the king allowed him to return to honor his ancestors for seven days. Returning to his hometown, he married Miss Booc.

He quickly said goodbye to his wife and ran back to the capital in the middle of the night. Mr. Sung ran 36 steps before falling, hitting his head on the mountain and dying. His 36 steps are 36 large and small lakes in the Thang Hen lake complex (now in Tra Linh district). As for the rock caves surrounding the lake, they were created by Mr. Sung's toes. Every year in September and October, Thang Hen Lake's water will be drained in just a few hours. Therefore, witnessing this strange phenomenon is extremely lucky. Even the indigenous people can only estimate the time and are not sure when the lake will dry up. When the water is barely scratched, people will race to the lake to catch fish, shrimp, and shrimp to eat. Big fish are the top "hunting" targets to grill for guests. Strangely, even though thousands of cubic meters of lake water dropped, the surrounding landscape remained unchanged. Therefore, many people compare Thang Hen Lake to a bag of water whose bottom has been punctured by someone. Local people spread word of mouth that the phenomenon of Thang Hen Lake drying up in just one night was a sea monster that had been imprisoned in the valley for many years. In the frenzy of being hunted, it used its claws to create underground caves vertically and horizontally. To enjoy the beautiful scenery of Thang Hen, you should not sleep late. When the sun just peeks behind the mountains is the best time to immerse yourself in the wonderland here. At this time, the lake surface is like a jade mirror covered with a white veil.
