‘Land of Tea’ festival held in Cao Bo Commune

BHG - The People’s Committee of Cao Bo Commune, Vi Xuyen District, recently organised the ‘Heritage Tea Land’ Festival 2025, attracting the participation of leaders of Vi Xuyen District, local people and visitors.

The traditional roasting of tea leaves over fire by the Cao Bo people brings a unique flavour.

Cao Bo Commune has 11 villages and hamlets with over 4,000 people, of which 96% are Dao ethnic people. This area is blessed by nature, with favourable soil conditions and a cool climate, making it suitable for cultivating Shan Tuyet tea.

Tea has become a key crop, bringing high economic efficiency and stable income for the people, while also playing an important role in the local efforts to eradicate hunger and reduce poverty.

The traditional hand silver engraving craft is preserved and developed by the local people.

The festival featured many vibrant and attractive cultural, artistic, sporting activities, and traditional ethnic sports such as tug-of-war and stick pushing, contests in making traditional Dao ethnic cakes such as horn-shaped cakes and humpback cakes, singing competitions, silver engraving competitions, traditional tea roasting, and culinary contests.
