This year’s H’Mong Khen (pan-pipe) festival, held during the National Day holiday on Dong Van Karst Plateau, Ha Giang province, attracted large numbers of visitors.
The festival gathered hundreds of H’mong pan-pipe artisans from many communes throughout the province, who competed in playing the pan-pipe and dancing to the tune.
The pan-pipe, typically used in traditional festivals and worship rituals, is a wind instrument made from six to twelve or fourteen small bamboo pipes tied together and connected to a wooden sound box.
It is also a means for ethnic young men to express their fondness for their lovers.
The instrument is very popular with a number of ethnic groups in Vietnam, such as the Thai, the Muong and the H'Mong.
The Dong Van Karst Stone Plateau is the first official UNESCO Global Geopark in Vietnam and the second in Southeast Asia.
