How to dress:

Our destination is the alpine area so when you travel you have to be prepared quite carefully for the belongings due to the topographic conditions and facilities here are lacking. Therefore, the criteria when traveling in the mountains is that you should choose the right clothes, comfortable, easy to clean, less stained, should wear multi-layer clothes to easily change according to the weather (to be able to to the heavy coats at home). Clothes must be easy to wash by hand because there will be no dry cleaning service on it.

Because this is winter in Ha Giang: You must carefully prepare warm clothes, waterproof windbreaker, water proof, ear plugs, masks, heating bags, gloves, raincoats …

Footwear:

Due to the need to move a lot on hilly terrain. You should prepare sports shoes and dark colors to make it easy to mix clothes, not to wear heavy shoes.

Shoes when going to Ha Giang must be gentle, neat, soft, good on the road because the road will have to walk a lot on the hills, rocky and slippery land.

Should bring two pairs of shoes, one pair of waterproof to go rain and a pair of cool to go to the hot weather.

The villages of ethnic people are places where tourists very excited to visit. Especially the people here are quite friendly and hospitable. But there are many things to keep in mind when visiting here:

  1. Don’t entry if you see the gate of the village, the gates of H-Mong, Dao people, hanging green leaves on high pillars, or sticking stakes. Because it is the time when the people in the hamlet perform the worshiping ceremony. Such as. worshiping the village gods, chasing away evil spirits… So people are very abstain from having strangers in the village.
  2. Travel in the village should not say loudly, jokingly disorderly, littering, meeting small children should not cuddle, rub their heads. Because people from such conception will make them sick.
  3. Not wear all white clothes because it is the color of mourning.
  4. No whistling while in the village. Because the people here conceive of doing so will call the devil about harassment.
  5. There are sacred forests in each village. That the places of worship of forest gods, mountain gods, river gods. It can be big trees or big rocks. When you come here you absolutely must not discharge littering, talking jokes, or acting unkindly.

Behavior when talking, in-house contact of ethnic people is also very important. There are many taboo things You should to know:

  1. Before entering the house of the people. You must ask the landlord for permission first before visit them.
  2. In the house of the ethnic people, perhaps the most sacred is the “pillar” of the house, which is the tallest column usually in the middle of the house, the place of worship, where the ghosts dwelling. Don’t sit back, hang clothes here.
  3. Eating and sleeping. You should follow by the direction and arrangement of the host. Because the ethnic people have very clear conceptions about their roles, seats and sleeping places. Often we should avoid sitting at the head of the table, sitting at the altar of worship. And do not pour wine first, pick up food before the landlord.
  4. In the Dao’s kitchen should not hang clothes, do not set foot, move the stones in the kitchen. This is the shelter of the fire god. Do not reverse the bamboo and firewood into the kitchen. Because of the fear that the daughter of the landlord will reverse.
  5. When talking, you should not point at the opposite person. If anyone invite you to drink wine. But if you want to refuse, you have to say very skillfully so that the landlord understands and sympathizes. Should not put the cup or bow down because it is only The new wizard is made to ward off evil spirits.
