Vietnam offers a generous dose of magic at any time of the year, however, some months are more preferred by travelers than others. Depending on what you are looking for, beach lovers love to visit Vietnam in the dry months from February to June while fans of trekking love to visit the highlands from October to March.
What is happening in Vietnam this November? With the country spans from North to South with over 1,650kms, travelers have a lot of options to choose from. Here are the highlighted events of this month.
Ha Giang Buckwheat Flower Festival
Nestled within the mountainous terrain of northern Vietnam, Ha Giang Province offers a unique cultural tapestry, home to ethnic minorities like the H'Mong and Thai. Travelers exploring this province have the opportunity to witness exotic local lifestyles.
What truly captivates visitors in Ha Giang is the untamed beauty of its natural surroundings. The province has become a magnet for motorbike enthusiasts and trekkers who are drawn to its rugged landscapes year after year. Mother Nature has bestowed Ha Giang with a diverse array of scenery, featuring towering rocky mountains, glistening rice terraces, and, in the month of November, expansive fields adorned with enchanting white and magenta buckwheat flowers.
Buckwheat, a staple grain for the locals, is typically cultivated after the summer-fall rice crop each year. Presently, buckwheat flowers have blanketed the slopes of Dong Van District. To celebrate this natural spectacle, the Annual Buckwheat Flower Festival commences on November 10, featuring cultural events, traditional games, and a spirited buckwheat flower competition.
Ha Giang is renowned for the awe-inspiring Nho Quế River, panoramic mountain passes, vibrant ethnic markets, and the much-anticipated Buckwheat Flower Festival held in November. This festival, a hallmark of autumn in Vietnam's northern province of Ha Giang, transforms the landscape into a dreamlike tableau as acres of green fields burst into simultaneous bloom, with purple and white petals creating a truly enchanting scene.
Mang Den Cultural Festival 2023
Situated approximately 60 kilometers northeast of Kon Tum city and blessed with a consistently cool climate, where average temperatures range from 16 to 20 degrees Celsius, Mang Den emerges as a captivating ecotourism destination in the heart of the Central Highlands.
Mang Den Culture Festival 2023 is scheduled to grace the town of Mang Den, nestled within Kon Plong District, Kon Tum Province. The festival's comprehensive agenda includes a thrilling caravan festival, an enticing food contest, a mesmerizing music show, and an informative investment forum.
When it comes to activities in Mang Den, while it may not offer the bustling array of options found in more established destinations like Dalat, where mountain biking, cable car rides, and canyoning adventures abound, Mang Den possesses an untapped potential for a diverse range of eco-tourism experiences. Its distinct advantage lies in its tranquil ambiance, making it an ideal place for relaxation within the embrace of nature.
One of the standout attractions in the vicinity is the Pa Sy Waterfall, a natural gem that ranks among the top highlights in Mang Den. Its allure doesn't stem from sheer size but from its idyllic location, hidden amidst towering mountains and enveloped by lush greenery, creating an ambiance that transports visitors to the heart of a verdant jungle.
Another must-visit attraction is the nearby mountain pass. If you're approaching from Kon Tum city, you'll traverse the Mang Den mountain pass, which offers breathtaking vistas of the surrounding mountains, plantations, villages, and the lush forests of the central highlands.
The central highlands, like the northern mountains of Vietnam, are home to a rich tapestry of ethnic minorities, each with its own distinctive culture. In the vicinity of Mang Den, several ethnic minority villages offer immersive cultural experiences. Exploring at least one of these villages is a remarkable way to delve into the diverse cultural heritage of the region.
Hanoi Tourism Gift Festival 2023
The festival will feature products of Hanoi's craft villages, including craft village experience space, miniature landscape space, cuisine, along with other unique cultural activities. This event aims to stimulate tourism demand and promote the image of the capital city as an attractive and safe tourist destination. It is also expected to support artisans and craft villages in producing souvenirs for tourists, connect craft villages and gift production units with tourism service providers, thereby contributing to the development of the tourism industry.
The festival, with the theme Hà Nội – Đến Để Yêu (Hà Nội – Come to Love), will kick off at the pedestrian zone in front of Thống Nhất Park on Trần Nhân Tông Street. The highlight of the festival is the exhibition space with 70 booths introducing gift products from typical craft villages in Hà Nội like Phú Vinh woven bamboo village, Thạch Xá dragonfly bamboo village, and Bát Tràng pottery village.
