Whether one is an adventure seeker, history enthusiast, or in cultural exploration, it’s the one single unique blend of nature and landmarks, making the tour necessary for any person who wants to dive into authentic Ha Giang Tours.
Thien Huong Village
Thien Huong Village, over 100 years old, on the fifth-season land, is deep in the heart of Ha Giang. The village unfolds along the way, rather like time itself did stand still. It is one of the well-preserved traditional villages of the Tày and Giáy ethnic groups. Generations of inhabitants of these communities have passed on their customs, beliefs, and crafts. This is the village that presents a peek back in time, showing how the traditional trinh tuong homes with their am duong rooftops have stood their own against the current world.
Right in the middle of Thien Huong Village is a majestic, over-300-year-old natural tree monument known as the Thien Huong Old Tree. This giant tree is much more than just a piece of nature; it is a spiritual symbol to the people in the village. It’s considered to be the heart of the village, where locals congregate to pray for health, prosperity, and protection. Its age and size make it stand living witness to the change of the village while having its roots deep in both earth and cultural identity. Visitors on Ha Giang Lush Tours will find themselves in awe of this spiritual landmark-which always seems enjoyable.
Added to all the natural beauty and rich cultural heritage of Ha Giang Lush Tours, these are the souls: people in Thien Huong Village. For their great talent concerning weaving, agriculture, and traditional cooking, people here gain great respect. You may go out and watch women weave colorful fabrics or visit the terraced fields of rice and corn grown there. Because village life is slow and easy-paced, visitors can unwind and experience what living was like in a seemingly timeless world that has varied little, day-to-day, generation after generation. Through interaction with villagers, travelers get acquainted with their customs, building a deep and personal rapport with Ha Giang culture.

In order to really enjoy the time on this tour, you would want to make sure that everything you need is with you.
Clothing: The weather in the Ha Giang region can vary quite a bit; moreover, we will be going to the mountainous area. Comfort shoes are a must since we’ll be doing a lot of walking around villages and enjoying the nice scenery. And remember to bring warm clothes with you because even if it is warm during the day, in the mornings and later in the evening it may get quite chilly at higher altitudes. Layers are key!
Essentials: Good to be protected from the elements; do not forget sunscreen and insect repellent. The mountain sun may be strong, and the beautiful greenery may bring along a few bugs. Most importantly, pack a good camera because you would not want any of those breathtaking moments with stunning landscapes and charming village scenes to be missed in photo form. Believe me, photo opportunities will be aplenty!
Best time to visit: The best time to join one of our Ha Giang Lush Tours is during the spring, from March through May, or during autumn, from September through November. You will have the option to enjoy mild weather; as such, it will be perfect for hiking and exploring without getting too hot or cold. During this time, you’ll capture the beauty of Ha Giang’s most famous buckwheat flowers in the lush greenery that blankets the hillsides.
Physical requirements: While this tour is an adventure for most kinds of travelers, please take note that the tour consists of some moderate walking. We will perform gentle walks through Thien Huong Village, which has some uneven paths and a few minor hills, but nothing too challenging. If you enjoy good health and are up for an adventure, you will do just fine; take it easy and enjoy the journey.
Respect for local traditions and customs: During Ha Giang Tours, we will be guests in Thien Huong Village, the homes, and communities of local minorities such as the Tày and Giáy people. How relevant it would be to respect their traditions? Ask for permission before taking pictures of people, approach them, and do not forget to greet a smile-too often wholly exploited by tourism. They will love your politeness and interest in their culture.
Interacting with locals: The interaction with villagers is probably the most pleasurable portion of the activity included in the Ha Giang Lush Tours. Please do not be shy. The villagers are warm and love telling stories of themselves and their traditions. A good way of respectfully doing it is by learning some simple Vietnamese phrases such as “Xin chào" or “Cảm ơn". Even when you are not speaking the language fluently, any little effort goes a long way toward making meaningful connections!
