Horse fighting festival in Ha Giang

Horse fighting is a traditional festival in Ha Giang. The restoration of the horse fighting festival in Ha Giang has contributed to preserve the tradition of Tay ethnic people and create a unique festival attracting tourists to Ha Giang Plateau.


As a Southern district of Ha Giang province, lying along National Highway No.2 and 60km away from Ha Giang city, Bac Quang district covers a total area of 109,873.69 ha, and consists of 23 communes. Bac Quang is home to 19 ethnic groups, in which Tay ethnic people make up 50% of the district’s population; Kinh people 25%; and ither ethnic groups like Nung, Dao, Cao Lan, San Chi, Thai and Muong, the remaining 25%. Each ethnic group has distinctive customs, practices and cultural peculiarities, which makes Bac Quang district in particular and Ha Giang province in general stand out.
Apart from unique festivals, such as the festival to pray for good crops, the celebration of the new rice, the rite of maturity of Dao and Nung ethnic people, and traditional “then” singing of Tay ethnic people, Bac Quang is famous for the unique horse fighting festival of Tay ethnic people in Banh Hanh commune. The border province of Ha Giang, especially its mountainous districts, has many difficulties in traffic. Thus, the house has long been employed to serve life of people in Ha Giang.
In unfavorable transport conditions, the horse is the most popular means of transport. Girls and guys travel to the market by horses. Horses help the locals carry goods, maize and rice home. As for people in mountainous areas, the horse is the most familiar animal. As thought by Vietnamese people, the horse is a very strong, highly durable animal that can run very fast. Thus, there are many horse races across the country such as the horse race in Bac Ha, Lao Cai, and the Thi Thung mound horse race in Phu Yen. But the first horse fighting festival was held in Bang Hanh commune, Bac Quang district, on August 17 – 18, 2013.
The festival, the first of its kind, was warmly welcomed and supported by the local authorities and local people. From early morning, people in Bang Hanh commune and from neighboring areas flock to Thuy Lam Vien ecotourism site to attend the first unique horse fighting festival. 30 horses competing at this year’s festival are divided into 15 pairs. Owners of the horses come from communes in Trong Con zone and other districts in the province, as well as the neighboring districts of Lam Binh, Na Hang and Ham Yen of Tuyen Quang, Bac Ha district of Lao Cai and Luc Yen district of Yen Bai. These carefully selected horses are very strong and have good tricks.
Earlier horse fighting was part of folk festivals of Tay ethnic people in Bang Hanh. It fell into oblivion. Organizing this year’s festival is a good way to preserve and promote striking features of the local ethnic culture, enrich the locals’ cultural and spiritual life, and especially preserve and develop precious genes of domestic animals in Bac Quang. This is also a good way to encourage the locals to develop husbandry.
Pairs of horses fight against each other. The wining horses are selected for the final round. Two horses bite, kick and bump into each other until one of them gets out of the fixed circle. Before the matches start, the horses are numbered and cared. The female horse makes matches more thrilling. It becomes the reason for the fight. The two male horses try hard to show off their power and conquer the female one. This is a good way to provoke the fighting horses.
On normal days these horses are good friends of farmers. In the fighting site, they are brave competitors that pose stunning tricks to capture attention and arouse eagerness among viewers. It can be said that this unique event of Bang Hanh commune can be found nowhere else. A section of forests resound with the applause and cheers of the crowd when fighting horses start a match. This makes the match more thrilling. On normal days, they are good-natured pack horses. But in matches, they give double kicks and bite their rivals to defeat them. After 4 rounds within 2 days, the organizing board selects the best two horses for the final match.
In the end, the first prize goes to the horse No. 2 owned by Vu Van Phu from Ham Yen district, Tuyen Quang. The horse fighting festival in Bang Hanh commune is organized to promote Ha Giang tourism. More importantly, it is aimed at preserving the local ethnic culture, and developing the local herd of horses for economic purpose. This is also a striking cultural feature that should be preserved and promoted.
After the festival closes, the horses come back to daily life, helping their owners in production. It can be said that the horse has become an indispensable part in the people’s life in the mountainous areas. That explains why horses are always cared and loved by everyone. With the aim of promoting fine features of the annual horse fighting festival in Bang Hanh commune, following the success of the first festival, people care for the horses in a special way, with greater attention to their food, practices and bath.
After the success of the first horse fighting festival in Bang Hanh commune, the horse seems to play a more important role in local life. It is hoped that the next horse fighting festivals organized on the 15th day of the 1st and 7th lunar months every year, will bring wonderful moments to the locals and tourists, making a contribution to preserving and promoting unique features of Vietnamese folk festivals.

Banh Mi in Vietnam cuisine

Banh Mi is not only served alone, but Vietnamese often increase ingredients in the baguette such as pork, bacon, eggrolls, pork paste and vegetables or mustard-a Vietnamese cuisine. The interfusion between Vietnamese and French cuisine has created a Vietnamese specialty – Vietnamese Banh Mi.
Listed among top 10 best street foods around the world by the National Geographic magazine, 5 unbelievable sandwiches from around the world voted by Huffingtonpost.com, written by numerous magazines, that is the Vietnamese Banh Mi or Vietnamese bread. It is available in the US for years and people love it. It is described as Vietnamese snack consisting of baguette bread filled with meat, vegetables and chili.Banh Mi officially became an English word in Oxford dictionary on March 24, 2011. Banh Mi has now helped Vietnamese cuisine become a permanent position to the world culinary map.
Banh Mi is a common fast food in Vietnam because people can eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. With various kinds of Banh Mi from traditional to fresh bread, Ho Chi Minh is often dubbed as the city of Banh Mi, because it is quick and light snack. Banh Mi has become a good friend of Ho Chi Minh City residents during the day. Bakers therefore crushed over dozens of Banh Mi to serve the taste of customers. Banh Mi arrived in Ho Chi Minh City at the end 19th century. Afterwards, the taste of Banh Mi became interfusion between French and Vietnamese culinary art.
In the old times, people often ate bread with pork. But today, it is difficult to find a real Vietnamese traditional store serving bread with pork which is cooked by traditional way like Sau Le bakery.  This store also adds many other kinds of ingredient but they keep the traditional way of cooking pork to sell with bread. Pork meat lean is the main ingredient using Banh Mi stuffing. It is marinated and cooked for hours to create the distinctive taste. Sau Le Banh Mi bakery has been in Ho Chi Minh City for years now. Baking is not only a job to make a living, the third generation of the Sau Le family wants to maintain traditional Banh Mi culture in Ho Chi Minh City.
With hundreds of bread types, ABC bakery could be called the home of bread.  The bread here is diversified from baguette, sandwiches to sweet bread. Quynh Hoa Banh Mi store is well-known in town by the diversification of filing for decades.  Customers coming here are not only impressed by quality of bread but also the friendliness of the seller. In Ho Chi Minh City, queuing up for bread is like a long standing tradition. No matter how many loaf of the bread they want to buy, people here don’t mind waiting a long line to get the favorite bread. Bread here includes 8 different types of fillings: pork, pressed meats, pork floss, sausage, another type of red pressed meats and 3 types of ham.
Along with Ho Chi Minh City, the port city of Hai Phong also owns a specialty, a very special kind of Banh Mi. This city still retains the tradition of Banh Mi Vietnam, but has also changed to serve different flavor enjoyed by local people. Almost three in the morning is the busiest time of the day for every bread maker in Hai Phong city when they get up and prepare the making bread. Mr. Cuong has been a baker in Hai Phong for 65 years now and is the inventor of Banh Mi stick. Mr. Cuong is the only Banh Mi stick in Hai Phong that has passed bread recipe down to next generation.
Doing exercises in the early morning, then buy some bread for breakfast, this has become a daily habit for the local people. Banh Mi often goes with pate. Mr. Cuong’s wife has 40 years of experience making pate. Pate is made from liver and fat creating the fragrance flavor. Different from the traditional Banh Mi, the filling of this special Banh Mi in Hai Phong City consists of only pate. In his free time, Mr. Cuong often helps put pate into the bread. They have done this job for the last 50 years and are good examples of couple keeping the local tradition. For Hai Phong people, eating some load of the special kind of Banh Mi becomes the daily habit. Customers ranged in all ages.  Whether bread is in the North or in the South, bread has always been an indispensable part of Vietnamese cuisine. Vietnamese love eating bread and it take place in the diversity and the taste of bread they made.

Vietnam Airlines excess baggage tips

Having a chance to own cheap Vietnam Airline tickets, or tickets of low-cost airlines, passengers can save travel expense more by skipping baggage. On departure date, passengers can bring only 07kg of hand baggage into aircraft. Yet, with the following tips of Vietnamairlinestickets.com, passengers can bring excess baggage easily.
Do not buy baggage early
It is highly recommended that passengers should not book baggage when purchasing a cheap Vietnam Airlines ticket. It is because the departure date is far from the time of booking; it will be wasteful to deposit baggage fee, if passengers or Vietnam Airlines cancel flight due to personal or weather reasons. Passengers should only buy excess baggage one day before or on departure date. Passengers can add baggage online. For those who are backpackers, buying Vietnam Airlines baggage is needless. Most of them bring carry-on baggage. Passengers should request checked baggage for the return if there are many gifts, items as liquid or bulky items which are not allowed in hand baggage. You do not have to worry anything if you do not have excess baggage.

Vietnam Airline Tips

According to regulation of Vietnam Airlines hand baggage and of other airlines, each passenger is allowed to bring only 07kg of hand baggage. At some airports in ASEAN, they do not check too strictly, depending on flight, airline, and security staff. Passengers can bring a carry-on baggage and a backpack. It means that passengers do not have to buy excess baggage, but they can bring a hand baggage and a small backpack. Almost Vietnamese airlines accept this; however, to avoid the check of security staff, passengers should do the following things:
- Passengers should represent hand baggage (7kg) at the check-in counter. And, your backpack should be kept by your relatives or friends, and then give to you later. After check-in, passenger gets his backpack and pass through security checkpoint. It is ensured that staff at security checkpoint will not ask you about your baggage, unless you have restricted items in your bag. All they have to to is checked your items in baggage allowed or prohibited.

- You wait at the lounge to prepare for boarding. About 15 - 20 minutes before the scheduled departure time, all passengers will be called to get onboard. For Vietnam Airlines flights, passengers can travel though tube cage, or by bus for other carriers' flights. Then, Vietnam Air staff will be waiting to check passengers' boarding pass, and may check your bag one more time.
- To avoid being checked for the last time, you can open your hand baggage and stuff your bag inside, if it is possible. If there is no room for your bag, you should wear your backpack suitably. For example, you should stand behind a group of people to avoid being recognized. Do not stand at the beginning or the end of queuing line, you will be checked easily by airline's staff. If passengers can act more careful, they can get on board easily.
- For those who do not have a suitcase, they can bring a bag and a nylon bag. The bag can weigh 07kg, and the nylon bag can weigh about 3-4 kg. In theory, you are bringing overweight baggage; thus, you should not present both of them at check-in counter. After the staff at the check-in counter check your 7-kg bag, he will attack a tag on the bag, which shows that the bag was allowed to bring into aircrafts of Vietnam Airways.

For alone travelers, they can take both bags to check-in counter, but the smaller one should be hidden. Then, take both bags flexibly and smartly to to avoid being recognized by staff. When passing through checkpoint, passengers should be confident as the security staff will not check again. At the waiting lounge, you will sit until the boarding time. At the boarding gate, the staff may request to check bag again. They may ask why tag is only attached on one bag, what about another? Therefore, to avoid being asked, passengers can put their smaller bag in the bigger one, if there is enough room. Although your bag may weigh more than 10kg, you can wear it on your shoulder with tag attached. In short, you should arrange you hand baggage into two bags. The main bag weighs 07kg. The rest one will be kept by relatives standing away from the counter. Passengers should use a big backpack to put small bag inside in case your baggage will be checked again when boarding.
