Tam Giac Mach, or “Buckwheat” flower can be found in some northern mountainous provinces of Vietnam. However, it is considered the symbol of Ha Giang because nowhere else can you find such giant wonderful carpets of flowers as in Ha Giang. There are two types of buckwheat flowers: the white one is usually in several areas of Cao Bang. Meanwhile in Ha Giang, people often plant the purple buckwheat flower. The pinkish purple of buckwheat petals is harmonious with the blue color of autumn sky and the grey color of the mountains which altogether creates a magnificent picture.

Buckwheat Flower

The history of Tam Giac Mach flowers is quite long time ago. It is said that in ancient times, a famine devastated villages. Because the land was barren, local people had to wander in search of food. And fortunately, among the rocks, they discovered small white pink flowers whose nuts tasted as rice and corn. Since then, the Mong have used the buckwheat flowers’ nuts for their meals. They also make buckwheat cakes and wine.

Nowadays, in order to promote the tourism potential of the province, Ha Giang authorities have increased the amount of buckwheat plantations to attract more visitors. There is also annual “Tam Giac Mach flower festival” around October and November, which features art performances and displays of buckwheat flower products. Joining the festival, you will not only have chance to admire the beauty of this flower but also know more about tradition and culture of local people in Ha Giang.
