HÀ GIANG — The annual programme highlighting the beauty of Hoang Su Phì terraced fields in the northern province of Ha Giang during harvest season will be held virtually for the first time because of the pandemic.

The tourism programme, Qua Những Miền Di Sản Ruong Bậc Thang (Travelling to the Heritage Lands across Terraced Fields in Hoang Su Phì), will be jointly organised by Ha Giang Province’s Authority and FPT Group and screened on FPT’s digital platform.

Highlights of the programme, which is the sixth of its kind, include online exhibitions of photos and videos featuring the local landscapes, traditional festivals, agricultural products and selling 'One Commune, One Product' (OCOP) products online.

According to the head of the Publicity Department of Ha Giang Provincial Party Committee, Vũ Mạnh Ha, the virtual platform is suitable with the current complicated situation of the COVID-19 pandemic and also follows the general trend of modern society.

The programme is aimed to promote the landscapes, cultures and heritages of Ha Giang Province, connect the introduction and sale of typical local agricultural products on virtual trading floors, he added.

Participants will be able to view the stunning beauty of Hoang Su Phì terraced fields during harvest season from August to October, which before the pandemic, enticed many tourists and backpackers to the region.

The tourism programme will take place from September 4 to September 30, 2021 with various sports and cultural events.

Hoang Su Phì District has a total area of ​​about 3,700 hectares of terraced fields, spanning all 25 communes and towns, but the most beautiful and large-scale ones are mainly concentrated on an area of 1,380 hectares in 11 communes.

Not only a masterpiece of nature, Hoang Su Phì terraced fields are also an example of the labour and creativity of local ethnic minorities. From the available natural conditions and long-established production practices, they have overcome natural difficulties to create terraced fields that stretch along the craggy mountain slopes.

The terraced fields were ranked as national heritage site by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in 2011 and 2016. VNS
