There will be a kayak and a SUP (racing paddle board) race on iconic Nho Quế River.

 Visitors can also enjoy the view of a floral road on Đồng Văn ancient street as well as various folk games of ethnic minorities, sports events and traditional cuisine.

Buckwheat flowers on the Đồng Văn Karst Plateau Geopark have become a tourist icon of Hà Giang. Not only used as a traditional food of ethnic people, flowers of the plant also bring a poetic beauty, creating a unique feature in the mountainous highlands. VNS
