Coming to mountainous sides in the northwest of Vietnam during these autumn days, visitors will be breath-taken by the Tam Giac Mach flower fields.
This is a traditional flower grown by people in districts of Muong Khuong, Bat Xat, Si Ma Cai and Bac Ha in Lao Cai and many districts in Ha Giang and Cao Bang provinces in northwestern Vietnam.
People here often mix powder of Tam Giac Mach fruit with corn kernels to brew special kinds of wine such as Ban Pho (in Bac Ha), Nam Pung (Bat Xat) and Man Than (Si Ma Cai). The powder is even used as animal feed in some local areas. However, due to lower productivity than rice and maize, the growing area of Tam Giac Mach remains modest in the northwest.
This kind of flower blossoms every autumn. Tiny, light-purple white flowers boom at the same time, creating an amazing mountainous space, which is very attractive to fine art photographers.
The following are some photos of Tam Giac Mach flower fields in Lung Cai Mountain (Bac Ha) and Then Phang (Xin Man) taken by Dantri/DTiNews reporters in mid-October this year.
