From valleys overflowing with peach, plum, and pear blossoms to remote villages untouched by modern life, Ha Giang, a land of memories, attracts not only with its majestic natural scenery but also with its simple, gentle people, creating a springtime picture full of emotion and depth.
Ha Giang is called "the land of memories" by photographer Cao Art because it is the northernmost region of Vietnam.
"Spring Arrives in the Highlands" is a photograph taken by Cao Art in Ha Giang – a land of blooming flowers on the rocky plateau. Moments were captured at various locations: Quan Ba, Tham Ma Pass, Pho Cao, Sung La Valley, Lung Cam Cultural Village, Lao Xa Ancient Village, Lung Tao, Pho Bang, Lung Cu, Dong Van, Meo Vac… The photographer took these photos during each spring season, from one month before and after Tet (Lunar New Year), when the villages are filled with the colors of plum, pear, apricot, and peach blossoms…
Ha Giang is called "the land of memories" by photographer Cao Art because it is the northernmost region of Vietnam. It's home to the Lung Cu flagpole – the highest point in the country – with its vast sky and sun shining through the rocky mountains. The weather is pleasant, and the locals are honest, always smiling and greeting even strangers. In remote villages, where there's no telecommunications or clean water, people have to travel many kilometers to fetch water from reservoirs. The scenery here is strangely beautiful, untouched by modern culture; you can enter any house and be hospitable by the locals with a simple meal of dried noodles, fresh vegetables, and spring water…
Each photograph by photographer Cáo Art not only captures the beautiful moments of early spring, but also exudes the natural, heartfelt beauty of Ha Giang, with its peaceful and profound rhythm of life.
