Lễ hội Hoa Ban 2026 ở Điện Biên

Tung Tăng greets you all from across the region Good evening dear viewers Every year as spring arrives The ban flowers bloom white across the Northwest region Such forests of blooming ban flowers appear completely white Creating a very beautiful landscape And in the city of Điện Biên Phủ every year the local people also hold a large-scale festival known as the Hoa Ban Festival Today's program invites you all to join me in experiencing the Ban flower festival in Điện Biên Phủ city Now we will begin the program together The spot where I'm standing now is the former territory of Thanh Luân Commune—today it's Thanh Nú Commune This place is about 3 kilometers west of Mường Thanh Market And today I came here in the afternoon so I also came to rent a homestay I stayed here overnight last night and I also had dinner right here at this homestay The route to the homestay is easy enough Dien Bien Phu is located about 450 kilometers northwest of Hanoi's city center and the journey up here is quite a long one So if we want to go we'd better leave early With a distance like that we'll probably need the whole day It takes from morning until night to get there And because the number of people attending the Hoa Ban Festival will be extremely large Therefore in the city center I think guesthouses and hotels are quite busy so finding a room will be harder That's why today I came to Điện Biên Phủ—I'm not in the central area but about 3 kilometers away from it Staying at a homestay in this outer area is great and of course there are still plenty of rooms available here—they're more spacious and airy And naturally prices are also lower in the central area To enjoy the sight of the Banyan flowers at the Hoa Ban Festival in Dien Bien Province we have numerous destinations to choose from For example the roads leading into the city center where the procession passes through the crossroads and arrives at Ban Phien Loi or along the banks of the Nam Rom River View of Mường Thanh Market Or Võ Thị Sáu Park Lake Additionally some locations farther from the city center Like the old Mường Áng district's Nậm Cướm checkpoint or the Tây Trang border gate—there are quite a few spots to admire the blooming Hoa Ban flowers But if we want to admire the beautiful Hoa Ban blossoms we should go outside to those distant places—I think the scenery there untouched and wild will be even more beautiful To fully experience the Hoa Ban Festival you'd need to spend one or two days here as the area is quite extensive Beyond admiring the blooming Hoa Ban flowers we can also visit several other popular tourist attractions In the city of Điện Biên Phủ such as the Nơ Cát Tunnels area and other sites from the French resistance war period This is the scene on Vo Nguyen Giap Street Downtown Dien Bien Phu City It's nearly 9 p m now Their roads are lit with numerous LED lights—so dazzlingly beautiful Look over there—every single tree trunk is adorned with LED lights On the other side of the road are the rows of shops And from here looking across that's Mường Thanh Pedestrian Street—now I' ll go over there right away Tonight marks the beginning of the Hoa Ban Festival opening ceremony And we came here to visit during the peak blooming season of the Ban flowers It will be the most beautiful time Usually around March to May in the Gregorian calendar Bế Văn Đàn Stree Ban Flower Festival 2026 From March 6 to 12 2026 The festival lasts a full wee However the Ban flower season only ends when the Ban flowers themselves wither The scene at the start of the pedestrian street I saw a large crowd gathered here Inside the electric lights were brightly glowing Today also marks the opening ceremony of the Peach Blossom Festival The festival officially begins at 8 p m The location is at the Stadium —just now I went there to take a look but I stayed far away and couldn't get close They keep us from getting closer—only allowed to view it from afar about 几十 meters away—because it's so distant and under such minimal lighting That's why nothing could be filmed at all Here it is We can see clearly The entrance they built in the style of a roofed gate Along this path are stalls selling fresh flowers Pedestrian street The day of the Ban Flower Festival Also March 8 Very special There are so many people here This area is a pedestrian street So all vehicles are prohibited Along the pedestrian street there are numerous shops on both sides across the way they sell food and drinks and right here it's the same Alongside these are local specialties Honey Or other local specialties This area is almost entirely Dedicated to cuisine Offering meats bamboo shoots That crowded area over there Hearing the sound of gongs They must be performing The cultural performance team Just now there were several girls wearing their ethnic costumes which looked very beautiful with outfits in many vibrant colors That's why it's impossible to squeeze right in the middle I'll stand over here on the side I'll probably be closer when I turn around Those women dancing there are from the Kho Meo ethnic group The skirt's hem is striped In this area you can see the ladies and older women standing against the gong gate Drum gate combined Is she your friend Phien Loi right This doctor is the head of sales he's capable of handling cultural affairs If you're watching my video just reopen it—I've recorded a new version for you Today stepping out here Among tens of thousands of people And unexpectedly running into An old acquaintance Next to a young girl Very beautiful She's wearing this outfit What ethnic group is this dear The Thai ethnic group Black Thai people In this northwestern region the majority are Black Thai people isn't that right In the festive atmosphere this joyous scene occasionally features people dressed in such costumes holding musical instruments as well To have fun On the day of The opening day of the 2026 Hoa Ban Festival It was fantastic Look behind me here you can see A sea of people People standing shoulder to shoulder It's amazing What's your name again My name is Thuy What do you think of my sister Thu If you think she's amazing When I post the video Please leave a like in the comments Well goodbye to my sister Thu Have a pleasant evening Now I Continue delving deeper into The bustling areas In this pedestrian zone There are numerous streets Cross streets are narrow Packed with people And occasionally groups appear They play music beating drums or striking gongs dressed in traditional ethnic minority clothing looking very beautiful Indeed it's a festival one of the most vibrant celebrations in the Northwest region This morning I began my flower- watching journey and the first stop was the Dui De relic site located in the heart of Điện Biên Phủ city This is also a very famous historical site during the Dien Bien Phu Campaign in 1954 We see the path leading up the hill— it's a very wide road allowing cars to climb easily and the scenery along both sides of the road is quite impressive The flowering trees bloom white across the hills This hill is made of soil which is why there are so many banana trees growing here Looking at this I see that the mountain laurel is mostly white with pink stamens There are many types of flowers you know— They could be white flowers Or they could be red roses Mound Dyke A historical site from the resistance war against France And here long ago Numerous fierce battles Took place between the two sides Between the French forces and the Viet Minh troops this place is now a historical site where a beautiful elevated walkway has been constructed for visitors to ascend Now I'm heading up to the hilltop And from up here we can look down onto Vo Nguyen Giap Street the main road I walked along last night From here looking out around us it's easy to see everything because it's so high Here the pale pink blossoms mingle with the pure white ones It looks so beautiful Flower viewing itinerary Today in addition to the dike hill historical site I also visited Other locations and One of those places is where people They say the apricot blossoms are in full bloom so abundant they look like a forest and that place is called Nam Cuong The district of Mương Áng is approximately 50 kilometers away Along the way if I come across anything interesting or beautiful I might stop to take a look To share this moment with you all Now we'll head up to the top of the hill then proceed toward the viewpoint overlooking the winding road nearby Over there is a very large roundabout This is the view from atop the embankment hill Up here the structures were built from stone with a notably ancient architectural style The monument is up there Now I'll Look out across the hills Today's main focus is going to see the ban flowers So I Will mainly shoot the ban flowers As for the historical sites Perhaps we'll meet again another time Here it is The banana trees across the hills The blossoms are in full dazzling bloom Step out to this spot—it's higher from here it might look a lot better You have to look from afar a bit otherwise standing close beneath the tree looking up you won't see its beauty because it' s blocked from view This is the monument of unwavering determination to fight and win standing atop the hill The image of the Viet Minh soldiers During the resistance against France Wore those distinctive cotton uniforms Very characteristic Goalkeeper jerseys are a type of protective jersey That one is made of cotton This is the pedestrian path We're looking down The roundabout on Vo Nguyen Giap Road below And ahead there About a couple hundred meters away A flat expanse That's Mường Thanh Airport folks And this field down here A smooth rice field That cool green area is also known as the Mường Thanh Plain The Mường Thanh pink blossoms fade to blue the peach blossoms bloom white again the orange grove turns golden once more Famous place in Vietnam Now I'll walk down to the street to see the Điện Biên Phủ city center during the peace festival season Looks as lively as last night did The square area Adjacent to Vo Nguyen Giap Street People are gathering in large numbers here And this program Is a joint training session It's a final rehearsal before tonight 's official event—the street parade There are many groups marching in the parade A group of children dressed in ethnic minority attire So beautiful What do you think of the colors in the highlands True festival spirit Streets He's so happy Hello everyone Here too The children are wearing traditional attire of the Thai people These are black skirts Che face of the world Go ahead and ask me I mean this outfit Is it from Thailand right That's right In the Northwest I' ve heard there are both Black Thai and White Thai people So which group is the outfit you're wearing from The Thai people the white ones are It's beautiful isn't it Maybe she's his sister Still in school He noticed he was being filmed Seemed a bit shy Have a great day Believe in yourself dear There's nothing to be afraid of It's so beautiful These girls are wearing outfits like this May I ask you something Is this scarf a Pew scarf The Pew cloth belongs to the Black Thai people not the White Thai it is primarily associated with the Black Thai That's wonderful The red thread follows the scarf Pew Let the wind carry it here Here you can show me Here it is Can you see it Exactly the scarf Pew follows the red thread many colors this one people can wear around the neck or tie up on the head that's it For example they can tie it up high like that woman over there and the Thais also have their own distinctive style of hairdo That's my niece Auntie This is the hairdo on top of the head you see Don't you see it It's just a hair bun And that's called a stock split The Northwest region including the provinces of Dien Bien Lai Chau and Son La is predominantly inhabited by the Black Thai people This area is home to a large population of Thai ethnic group members And the culture here is Thai culture—what I enjoyed for dinner at that homestay is also characteristic of it Thai people's favorite dish is undoubtedly larb or perhaps the ban flower salad— both are absolutely wonderful That's right I find these girls so lively and cheerful That's amazing Well bye-bye everyone Hello everyone You're all dressed in the traditional attire of the Black Tai people and Piu scarves That's the whole scene here As for the boys' outfits here Those ones I'm holding it in my hand—what's this thing called sweetheart —It's a fruit dear Take this one Throw the doll through the ring On that pole there That's exactly the fruit Those are my younger brothers and sisters They're at that growing-up age So lively and full of energy it's amazing Hi everyone this is the channel that travels across the country YouTube channel Yes of course The morning session today is a rehearsal so the activities proceed much like a formal event but today it's just a rehearsal It's bright in the morning so filming then will look great Of course shooting at night is also beautiful but there will be some dark corners—places where the light doesn't reach It'll look beautiful in the morning otherwise it'll be a bit blurry Guys I think I prefer shooting this morning's atmosphere Here we go Hi everyone You see the girls from the highlands wearing Tai ethnic attire Isn't it beautiful Absolutely stunning Teacher you 're here too The teacher has already instructed them to Guide the students in forming a parade formation For the Ban Flower Festival 2026 Hey can I ask you something How far have you gotten in school I'm in sixth grade sir So today the school in this area The city of Điện Biên Phủ Bringing the children here to join the festival The students from middle school whose channel is YouTube Tung Tăng Khắp Miề I'll just stay here for a moment Then right now I'll Head over to the stage area To see what they're Dancing The stage for that scene is the cultural performances scheduled for tonight's Carnival of the Hoa Ban Festival They're on the move Is this the Tai fan dance right That's it Can you see it everyone Let's go everyone The parade then continued with a simple dance gesture but it was unmistakably the distinctive Tai dance known as the Tai Xoè The girls hold their piu scarves spread open while the boys carry fruit in their hands Next came the parade behind them each person holding two fans in both hands the sight resembling blooming cherry blossoms That's when everyone rose up at once a synchronized wave looking truly beautiful—just like the wave of apricot blossoms Viewing this morning's fusion session The light is so clear The filming turned out beautifully If everyone wears costumes tonight Then it will be It will also be very dazzling Maybe I'll come here I'll ask that girl The parade here What's theme This is how our group marches So you'representing some team huh The Thai people that's who Thus this lineup represents the Thai team Now I'll move along the formation Heading toward the site Historical dike relocation roundabout The parade is moving toward the historical site at the roundabout Too beautiful I don't know what else to say Highland attire Vibrant colors She's the younger sister Leading the group So beautiful to look at I'll go to the front of the group to see how they're walking on stilts The acrobats walking on stilts and juggling riding a unicycle This stilt walking is really high folks Seeing that artist there standing unsteadily this guy' s pretty tall—about the height of an adult—hello ma'am This stilt-walking artist is so beautiful to look at Yes She's so beautiful I wonder if she's married yet I'm turning the stilts slightly so you can see them better There you go They're like two ladders attached to the feet Not everyone can handle this journey Down the house with a swaying hip Tighten the belt fully Car on the track Stitch by stitch Straining to hold onto someone's foot The thing worth praising in the painting With the swift morning song echoing Goodbye to the month's fresh vigor Full of life as each spring returns That vibrant sound once more entwines Into the skies of fortune Just like the changing of seasons the world is ever-changing After viewing the joint training program at the Dien Bien Phu city center I now continue along National Highway 279 To reach the area known as Dưng Ban— that is the Nậm Cướm village located within Mường Ảng District—also— And along National Highway 279 there's another spot— Tăng Quái Pass—where wild banana flowers bloom profusely The monk and the thief are heading this way about ten kilometers ahead and along the route as you can see we've spotted them On either side of the road There were rows of blooming mountain plum trees their white blossoms glowing brightly This section is where the apricot blossoms bloom abundantly and beautifully so travelers driving along the route often stop here to sightsee and take photos Even though it's just a row of trees growing alongside the road they bloom so densely that they create a scene of breathtaking beauty Now I'm heading to that area—there they are standing there taking photos The scene here is the start of National Highway 279 with the Nậm Giốm River flowing beside it The rows of blooming cherry blossoms are breathtaking And now tourists come here to take photos I'd say there are quite a few already So beautiful A line of stalls stretching along the road This area is primarily inhabited by the Thai people yet here I see a woman wearing traditional clothing of the Mong ethnic group Travelers from afar have arrived Over here The black dress and the blouse With a silver button fastening at the front That is truly the hallmark of the Thai traditional attire After taking a moment to enjoy the view here I'll now continue on to Dam Cuom Village After driving for about an hour I've now arrived in this area There are a few houses around here but they're quite sparse Look around you—see the endless rolling hills From National Highway 279 this point is 14 kilometers away and this location is a three-way intersection with a very nice road that allows cars to pass Flat resin flow and right at this intersection a sign by the roadside reads: Ancient Ban Forest Dark Bandit Village The administrative area of Nà Tấu Village Dien Bien Province It's about another 4 kilometers from here to Ban Co Forest In addition to this new signboard there remains the old signboard inscribed with "Dac Cuoi" belonging to Ngoi Cay commune Buong Uong district Cultural Festival of Ban Dam Cuom March 7 to March 9 2026 A girl wearing a traditional Tai costume from the Western Flower Branch Valley is beautifully printed The path ahead winds and twists through the hills Here we see Over on those hills That is the vast green forest of Bạt Ngàn Program to Attend the Ban Flower Festival And admire the blooming Ban flowers In Dien Bien Must say it was a journey Evokes deep emotions—traveling dozens of kilometers from the heart of Điện Biên Phủ city to reach remote mountain villages The scenery here is so untouched and pristine I believe there will be plenty of ban flowers And naturally the view feels close to nature It will look more beautiful that way The feeling upon arriving in this area The scenery along the roadside appears extremely wild and untouched Look up there at that mountain slope—doesn't it look completely white That's the ban flowers Exactly Look up at the mountain That distant pier is probably hard to see but when I 'm in the car I look up and it's just a blur of white The starting point will drop from here down I'll descend right here And begin walking in I'll explore as I go guys It will better I'm stepping outside now The space is airy and elegant Absolutely fantastic Look look don't you see Her house is on a hillside surrounded by a forest of flowering apricot trees Yes sir I'll go ask about how this version of yours is Hello there Excuse me could I ask you something Which ethnic group lives in this village The Mong people All of them are Mong No wonder I saw the wall you built out of stones right in front of your house It is the distinctive wall of the Mong people Hello Grandma Yes sir I see it here—look the shop has a few Mong people's outfits hung up From out here watching the whole scene it 's enough to make you pause and take it in That entire hillside Is filled with countless flowering ban trees She lies far away It is now noon The midday rooster crows with a lustful cry Out by the roadside I saw a sign saying March 7th to 9th There's a festival in the village So there's a festival happening at this time Or what activity are you referring to sir It's been two days already Yes Good grief These two dogs Is there any activity today the 9th Yes At this location the festival is being held—what activities are there sir For example Singing along or do you want to sing something Yes Cultural performances and traditional folk games Yes I'll say goodbye to you now I'm going to walk now to get into the center of the village How many houses are there in this village please Yes 78 households So the village has only about 80 households Now the Nậm Cắm area also has homestay accommodations available so visitors who come here can rent a place to stay right on the spot Then comes the sight of blooming apricot flowers Experience the festive atmosphere of a village gathering In a remote region Here it is This is also a homestay just like that one Looking at the spacious very clean houses The distinctive stone walls characteristic of the Mong people This area is known as the clay hills however these hills are situated at a relatively high elevation We look up at the steep hillside high above where the Mông people have built their homes in such areas and even constructed the path leading up there The paved roads are decent enough to ride a motorcycle up but the incline has to be described as extremely steep This is the path leading into the village just at the entrance there's a signpost indicating the route up to Ban Forest And this is the path leading up to the ancient forest The road is very narrow Now I'll head into the heart of the village then climb up to the ancient banyan forest Go a little further At this point it's a T-junction The road on the right That's the one we drive on by car To enjoy the view of the ancient rhododendron forest This concrete road Is a bit steep That's the hiking trail The path we just passed by The path out there starts as a pedestrian walkway but it begins from the outside Inside there's another path too but it's wider Now I'll follow this walking path to go up The winding path through the village is very beautiful Within the village between one house and another there are footpaths some are paved with concrete allowing motorbike access Or perhaps it's just people building stone steps—nothing more than a path meant for walking The slope here is quite steep This is a residential house I thought it was a footpath leading that way but it's not We'll follow the road like this I'm a traveler from afar unfamiliar with the twists and turns of this path A courtyard This is the stage The cultural festival linked to the preservation and development of the ban flower tree Na Tau 2026 Village Now we'll follow the path behind the scenes to head toward the other side Then comes the view of the ancient Ban Cổ forest—where the trail at the village's entrance is exactly the narrow path we saw earlier I went into the village to shoot the scenery for a bit then had to loop back out onto the old road Flower Ban Festival In this place the people live here the rice plants grow those terraced fields over there though their area is not large Yet people still make use of it to grow rice This road gets muddy and slippery when it rains Along the path the cherry trees bloom whitening the forest The leaves of the ban tree resemble those of an apple tree but are much larger The ban flower is also very large Now let's walk along the path and pick a low-lying flower I'll pluck one To shoot a close-up video and share it with you all Consider how that particular flower unfolds Up until now we've only ever seen the ban flowers from a distance—never close-up Blossom flood bucke On the other side it looks like a school That's right I saw a drawing on the wall Actually we came to the ancient forest If we look from a distance we can see the entire scene But if we get close all we see are the tree trunks The tree canopy is dense blocking the view from above thus limiting the forest's visual appeal The final footsteps To enter the central area Of the ancient rhododendron forest They say this is the ancient rhododendron forest I believe it's the age of the trees These cherry blossom trees here are old indeed—so old in fact that to tell their story would take us back half a century or more On either side of the path the blossoms are in full bloom These old banyan trees are many years old Their trunks are extremely thick and sturdy A flowering plum blossom I zoom in closely so you can see how the ban flower looks It's fragrant too that's for sure I initially thought flowers had no scent at all but in reality flower blossoms are quite fragrant This scent can be extracted to make perfume—it has a delicate subtle fragrance I just went to look at the mountain laurel flowers and they kept lingering in my thoughts but now perhaps I've begun to understand part of the mountain laurel's structure At first I thought its stamen was purple and pink but when I looked again the second time and then the third It's not like that that purple and pink hue is one of the five petals of the ban flower Here’s another flower picked up Five petals the central one being multicolored I vaguely thought it looked like a stamen petal Pale lavender pink But in reality it's one of five petals Excellent There are still more ban flowers here And faintly visible below Those tree stumps are the homes of the Mong people They keep their house modest surrounded by a stone wall This village is located approximately 50 kilometers northeast of the city center of Điện Biên Phủ Here the surrounding area is dotted with mountains Extremely high hills The Miao people often live in places like these—high up striving for glory Thus we have just completed a program of visiting and experiencing the 2026 Ban Flower Festival In the city of Điện Biên Phủ Điện Biên Province this year's festival is being held in early March And this is also a very famous festival attracting numerous tourists and local residents who join in the festive atmosphere We will see the parades They march through the streets And the participants wear traditional costumes Of the ethnic groups from Northwest Vietnam And of course at the Ban flower festival we'll get to admire the Ban flowers in full bloom along the streets In the heart of Điện Biên Phủ city Or further afield Such as the Tây Trang border gate area Or Tăng Quái Pass On National Highway 279 or in the remote area of Nam Cuom Village the mountain peach blossoms are abundant and when they bloom in full glory Creating a stunning picture amidst the mountains and forests Now I'd like to conclude this video Looking forward to seeing you in the next video Goodbye for now
