The Story of Ha Giang buckwheat flower
The story told by Ha Giang indigenous people begins from the time when people in the mountainous region lived mainly on rice and corn. That year, they were really in difficult situation since they had no rice and corn left, while harvest season was still very far ahead. They found everywhere but unfortunately, nothing eatable was discovered. One day, they suddenly smelt a strange fragrance in the wind. They followed the ravine with curiosity then finally saw a forest of tiny flowers. They collected the grain of those flowers to eat instead of rice and corn. The flower is buckwheat flower.

Since the buckwheat was found, local people have been making cake from buckwheat nuts flour or making liqueur from the mixture of buckwheat nuts and corn. The buckwheat leaf is used as food for cattle.
Blooming season of buckwheat flowers lasts from October to November. Coming to Ha Giang during this time, visitors will see buckwheat fields appearing densely through Quan Ba, Dong Van to Yen Minh and Meo Vac district, covering the rocky plateau with its lively color.
