On May 31, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism gave Bac Ha horse racing festival (Bac Ha district, Lao Cai province) on the list of National Intangible Cultural Heritage. This is considered a great opportunity for Lao Cai province to preserve the unique cultural features in the Northwest highlands. For those who have been born and raised in the “white plateau” land of Bac Ha, Lao Cai, it seems that the daily “sweeping piles… thumping” sounds of the horse-drawn carriages beat on the winding hill roads. , especially at night in the morning, in the afternoon sun or cool afternoon, has been deeply ingrained in the subconscious. The familiar sound of horse hooves also reminds the children of Bac Ha who have been away from home for a long time to be impressed by the traditional horse racing tournament that has existed for hundreds of years in this locality. In the sunny summer days when the hillsides of the Bac Ha highland are full of red plums, it is also the time when the pack horses, the “barefoot knights” temporarily put aside their daily farming work, eagerly preparing to participate in the traditional horse racing tournament – a sports tournament imbued with the traditional cultural beauty of the highland ethnic groups in Lao Cai. In the highland districts Lao Cai The horse is both a close friend and an important daily means of transportation. Every day, in the mornings that have not yet cleared the dew, even though it is still cold, horses still work hard to help the Mong family carry farming tools, fertilizers, and seeds to the fields. In the evening, when the sun shines through the western mountains, it is also the time when horses patiently carry the harvested products from the fields to home. Upland mountain roads are steep and winding, rocky mountains are bumpy, only a horse – a close friend, can help the Mong people sow corn and rice grains on the top of the mountain, and the slopes are precarious. Horse is a friend in everyday life but also a sacred animal in the religious life of the Mong people. The horse is the only thing that transforms into a stretcher to bring the dead to eternity. Only the horse has enough mystical power to carry the Hmong shaman to the heavens, the earth, and the rivers and seas to find the souls of the sick and heal the Hmong. According to Ms. Chu Thi Duong, Vice Chairwoman of Bac Ha District People’s Committee, maintaining the Bac Ha Traditional Horse Racing Tournament is one of the local efforts to honor the fine cultural values ​​of ethnic minorities. Bac Ha highland in general and praised the unique and emotional attachment between upland people and animals that are extremely attached and familiar in their daily life and spiritual life.

In 1975, Bac Ha held a parade with over 200 horses going around the central area to celebrate the liberation of the South and reunification of the country. In the spring of 1980, Bac Ha District Team (Military Command) organized a horse race, shooting to choose good horsemen and gunners to join the militia and transport food by road. After that, Bac Ha did not organize another tournament. In 2007, the Bac Ha traditional horse racing tournament was officially restored. Since then, the award has become an annual festival of Bac Ha district, held once a year, meeting the needs of people to enjoy the cultural and spiritual life, contributing to the preservation and promotion of cultural and sports traditions of ethnic minorities in Bac Ha; promote the image of people, travel Bac Ha to traveler at home and abroad, becoming a highlight to attract tourists to Bac Ha. The previous Bac Ha horse racing festival took place around fields and hills, and ended up in a field in the center of town. When nearly reaching the finish line, the horsemen quickly jumped to the ground, pulled the flintlock on their shoulders and aimed at the target, fired 5 shots, then snatched the red ball, jumped on the horse and returned to the starting point. Whoever is both fast and hits the target the most is the winner. Today, the horse race in Bac Ha is no longer a shooting competition, the jockeys also have a separate arena, the race is organized and more attractive to viewers. Not a commercial, not a professional race, horse racing in Bac Ha is a race of farmers and racehorses are pack horses. In particular, horse racing in Bac Ha is “carpentry racing,” where jockeys ride on horseback without a saddle, without pedals, but only with a belt to tie the horse, two iron hooks tied to the ropes on either side of the jaw to control. In the process of participating in the competition, looking at the jockeys crouching on the backs of the “strong horses” are galloping to see the difficulty and courage of the horsemen on the track. Mr. Vang Van Huynh, a jockey who has won 2 consecutive championships (in 2012 and 2013), shared that when competing, he also needs to observe the opponent’s horse to control the horse, and at the same time, keep a distance to avoid the horse jostling. Collisions can cause accidents: “Sit firmly on your back to control the horse when running. When cornering, pull the reins and slow down to avoid falling. When the road is straight, release the reins and spur the horse to run at full speed. force.” Every year, the Bac Ha traditional horse racing tournament attracts a lot of domestic and foreign tourists to attend. The audience experienced all kinds of emotions: holding their breath when a horse ran too far out of the yard, running towards the barrier; Get your heart racing when a jockey falls off his horse on the track or burst with joy when the horses race past their opponents spectacularly. Mr. Sung Seo Using (Su Man Khang village, Ta Van Chu commune, Bac Ha district) with a long history of raising famous horses in Bac Ha said: “A good horse for racing must be a male horse with a tall body, long hooves, straight, smooth hair, fast sharp eyes, wide chest, slim belly, long and even running steps.Choose a horse to go racing, the legs must be straight, the hooves are thick… if the toenails protrude like a duck’s foot, the horse runs poorly.” On the racetracks of the Bac Ha Traditional Horse Race, the impression left on visitors is always the overflowing excitement and admiration for the brave and simple local ethnic boys, along with the Powerful racing horses bring to the audience attractive performances and hot competitions. Those are the unforgettable experiences in the hearts of every visitor when once coming to the Bac Ha plateau.

These days, when the Covid-19 epidemic is complicated and need to limit going out to prevent epidemics, Ms. Nguyen Thu Ha (office worker, living in Hanoi) has a habit of buying and storing food. once a week. Ms. Thu Ha shared: Usually she only goes to the market once a week on weekends. The amount of food each time she buys just enough for 7-10 days to ensure quality. According to the mother of these two children, if applying the way she is doing, the days when she comes home from work, cooking becomes idle only takes 15-20 minutes. Ms. Nguyen Thu Ha said that preliminarily processing and packing into separate boxes helps you save time when cooking. With her blood and blood experience in the first time, she did not process much, sometimes only wash and put a pound of meat in the freezer, until she only took 1 pound of meat to cook for 1 meal to see the suffering. After changing “tactics”, she began to prepare food, cut into pieces enough for one meal and then divided into small trays and boxes. Here are some food preservation tips that Ms. Ha has applied to both cook and keep the freshness, deliciousness, and ensure the food safety of the food. For sliced ​​or chopped foods (ground meat, chicken heart, oyster gut …) Ms. Ha shared that she often went to the supermarket to buy clean food and then put it in an ice tray with a lid, which helps to preserve the food in each box, easy to take, and quickly defrost. If 1 person eats 1 umbrella, 3 people can eat 3-4 plots, depending on need. For scallions, tomatoes Onions are seasoning vegetables used regularly in the meals of Mrs. Ha’s family. Wash onions, flake or roast all the water, cut into pieces or shred them into a bowl, drop the onions in boiling water. Very convenient and there will be onions at all times. With tomatoes, too, she often buys a lot and after cleaning and removing the damaged part, she chooses the areca piece to keep it in the tray in the freezer. Root onions you can plug into a bowl of water to have more fresh onions Tomato is a difficult food to preserve, but Ms. Ha is very confident with how not to spoil tomatoes. She often buys a lot, washed and cut off the damaged part, sliced ​​the areca nut and put it in the tray to prevent freezer. For fish meat: Rinse, drain, place in a tray and put in freezer. For leafy vegetables: N If you wash it, you must rotate it to drain it for a long time. If it doesn’t drain, the vegetables will quickly get boots. Lettuce should be washed and dried for 5 days. Small food in freezer. What to do if the container is large and has a small meal every meal? Use foil to prevent food layers, this prevents food from sticking together, and thinly spread foods also thaw faster. Separating the 2 layers of meat with foil prevents the meat from sticking to each other. The way to do it is very simple: Put the food in the box, spread 1 layer of foil, place the second layer of food, then put foil again, and do so until the box is full. Or you can replace foil with banana leaves, that will better protect the environment. Choose good food containers According to Ms. Ha, in order to preserve food well, fresh for a long time, the food containers must be really good. Should use a storage box suitable for the freezer. There are several types of high-end plastic containers, which when storing frozen food, are easy to remove, but the food does not stick to the side of the box. The sealed box has both good preservation and no mixed smell in the refrigerator, for 7-10 days for vegetables, and still fresh for 20 days of fruits.

The additional floors are only used for administrative purposes and other suitable functions; encourage the exploitation of underground space and the first floor to build playgrounds, flower gardens … The housing land group of 55.04 ha is determined mainly on the existing basis, according to the planning, it will be renovated, embellished or rebuilt, fully supplemented with the transport system and technical infrastructure. to control the landscape architectural space in the direction of reducing and low-rise construction density, preserving and exploiting ancient or French colonial architectures, preserving typical cultural values. For old apartment buildings and dormitories, the renovation and reconstruction will be carried out according to a separate project on the principle of self-balance of population. Notably, the renovation and reconstruction of old apartment buildings and dormitories in the area in the direction of encouraging migration to other high-rise apartment buildings in Hoan Kiem district or within the city; converting the function of land use to commercial, service or rental apartments; reduce construction density and be consistent with regional planning and architectural management regulations. In terms of spatial organization, the urban landscape architecture is preserved according to the structure of the French colonial “garden city” with a checkerboard-shaped road network, about 150 meters on each side with the north, south and east sub-axes – west. On the basis of this space network, the group of high-rise buildings, most of which are offices, public works with large land scale, are concentrated on large streets such as Hai Ba Trung, Tran Hung Dao .. The rest of the space is villas interspersed with middle and low-rise building groups with smaller land scale, high construction density creating adjacent house structure. The plan also sets out requirements for the organization and protection of the landscape. Specifically, important landscape axes need to protect the vision on the street axes; preserving and promoting valuable works, improving space to restructure typical “garden city” space. Particularly streets bearing street house features will be improved space to create typical commercial streets. For plots, add planned social infrastructure, control the construction density in the direction of gradually decreasing to less than 75% and manage according to separate regulations to limit the risk of distortion in the neighborhood …
