Ha Giang

“Ha Giang, the border is here. Roads in the clouds, all the way to the gate of heaven”.

There is also the heroic site of Hill 468, which any Vietnamese wishes to visit once to commemorate and better understand the legacy of over 4000 sacrifices of courageous soldiers on cliffs, in caves up in the hills.

Ha Giang, “where flowers bloom on the rock”, “live on the rock, die buried in rock”, “fight the enemy with rock, die petrified and immortal”. Together, Ha Giang community is opening up, looking for new locations to develop agricultural ecosystem and integrate multi-layered values. They integrate, expand physical spaces, and formulate emotional spaces to multiply prosperity.

Physical spaces include land, soil, climate, and natural ecosystem with high levels and low sediment structures. Emotional spaces are cultural identity, historical tradition, vernacular knowledge, customs, folk beliefs, and unity of ethnic communities living in symbiosis with Ha Giang cosmology for generations.
