La Chi people in Ban Lien collect tea.

As scheduled, at 8 o'clock saw the "old sister" waiting properly. Greetings through the loudspeaker and then each person a car, quickly set off. Please take me to Ban Lien! 30 trees - "old billion" said cheerfully.

The road to Ban Lien is a small road winding down the middle of the mountain, attracting a lot of people is a small stream at the feet. The mountain landscape mixed with the village is the foot of terraced fields. Occasionally come to beautiful spots, go ahead of the "old sister" intentionally stop and meticulously introduce us: This is the Nam Khanh hydropower plant, far away is the only 500 La Chi village in Lao Cai. The terraced fields of the La Chi people are famous for their sophisticated curves. By the end of the month, the rice will be ripe and golden at the same time as Ban Phung side.

Arriving at the center of Ban Lien commune, the "old sister" stopped the car and led us to greet everywhere, and then waited for the "brother" who lived on the edge of the forest to come and greet. The brothers struggled with the dirt road to go into the deep mountains.

Penetrating paint but straight the storks fly the fertile rice fields. The Tày people here work hard, know how to calculate, cultivate, raise livestock, in addition to the benefits from the forest, so at first glance they can see a sense of wealth.

A Binh - the owner of the gas station asked us to introduce tea hills, fish ponds, barns, upland fields ...

When I returned, it was also dinner time. Being drunk, listening to people excitedly talking about the heroic past of his ancestors. In the past, this area was rich, with a lot of white and silver, no need to count, only need to calculate the tube.

Ban Lien is also famous for being a beautiful girl. The third wife of "Cat King" Hoang A Tuong is from this original. Ban Lien is a junction to Bao Yen and Xin Man, because they are connected, they call it Ban Lien? Or because this area has a lot of young gold, the geological structure is sandy soil, so it is often eroded, so it is named Ban Lien with the desire that this land will never erode?

MThe golden season in Bac Ha highlands

The wine is blurred, the pepper is scattered, and then falls on the floor to sleep. In the morning, remember to forget and forget to greet the landlord and then the brothers turned to the district street to go to Quanin Ngai to see the "golden raspberry" of Ban Pho.

To please me, whenever I mention which place is the "old sister" leading to there, from Na Hoi, roundabout the shortcut to Lung Phung and as far as Sin Chieng (Si Ma Cai) ... then round to Ta Van You drink wine and watch the sand flowers, the triangles are blooming in the mountains and hills. Again listening to the heroic history of the Miao clan, about the hero Truong Tu Mi - the No. 1 general in the resistance war against Man Thanh in the period of 1853-1872, making the Man Thanh court shaken to use demons to harm. Truong Tu Mi's descendants were rescued by like-minded brothers who fled to Vietnam and were changed to the famous Trang surname ...

Just like that! As strange, as used, I lost my way in Bac Ha ...
