Autumn comes to Y Ty - a remote border area of ​​Lao Cai, the sky and earth are lit up by the yellow color of terraced fields stretching out to the horizon, signaling a joyful season is coming to the highland people here. Although the road to Y Ty is still arduous, groups of tourists from all over still come to this land to enjoy the beauty of the Northwest autumn and explore the cultural identity of the ethnic groups.

For the young Ha Nhi man - Ly Xa Xuy, owner of the Y Ty Clouds homestay, this year's Y Ty autumn is more special because he and young people of the Ha Nhi, Mong, and Dao ethnic groups have joined hands to restore the ancient stone road of Y Ty from hundreds of years ago for tourists to experience. This is also a meaningful project and work of the local youth to welcome the Y Ty Commune Party Congress for the 2025 - 2030 term. It is even more meaningful when the project is completed on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day September 2.

Talking to us, Ly Xa Xuy shared: Y Ty not only has wild and beautiful nature, but also has a hundred-year-old stone road, the Kho Gia Gia festival of the Ha Nhi people, which is a national intangible cultural heritage, The Pa valley is a national relic and there are many scenic spots, customs and festivals of the Ha Nhi, Dao, Mong people... I want to work with young people to establish the Y Ty Tourism Club so that each person can become a "cultural and tourism ambassador", preserving and promoting the beauty of national cultural identity, the friendliness and hospitality of the people to tourists.

In the new period, Y Ty commune strives to become a unique tourist area of ​​the province. To effectively exploit the potentials, together with enthusiastic young people like Ly Xa Xuy, Y Ty commune has built a team of Party cell secretaries, village chiefs, and young entrepreneurs who are all Mong, Dao, and Ha Nhi ethnic people with college and university degrees, becoming pioneers and core in preserving and promoting the cultural identity values ​​of the nation in association with local tourism development.

Leaving the vast Y Ty, we came to Muong Lo land - the cradle of Thai ethnic cultural identity. The place has the famous Thai Xoe dance recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Artist Dieu Thi Xieng in Nghia Lo ward, despite her old age, still passionately teaches the next generation each folk song, each dance and xoe dance of the nation.

She shared with us that the xoè dance is a priceless heritage left by our ancestors, a source of pride for the Thai people in Muong Lo. What she always wishes for is for the younger generation to know how to appreciate, preserve, spread and promote the value of that heritage.

According to Mr. Luong Manh Ha - Secretary of the Party Committee of Nghia Lo Ward, Nghia Lo is a place with a long-standing historical and cultural tradition. Currently, there are 14 ethnic groups living together in the ward. Each ethnic group has its own customs, practices, rituals, folk songs, dances, legends, and traditional musical instruments, creating a unique cultural feature of Nghia Lo culture.

Identifying the preservation and promotion of national cultural identity and the development of cultural people as important tasks, Nghia Lo ward has included this task in the implementation targets of the Party Congress Resolution and the action program to implement the Resolution of the 1st Ward Party Congress, term 2025 - 2030; establishing mass art teams to preserve the culture of ethnic groups in the ward; bringing Thai Xoe art to schools to teach students. Along with that, the ward focuses on preserving traditional stilt house architecture, ethnic costumes, languages ​​and writings of ethnic groups. From there, both preserving cultural identity and building a generation that knows how to appreciate, preserve and promote the cultural beauty of Nghia Lo people to tourists from all over the world.

Not only in Y Ty commune, Nghia Lo ward, but also entering a new era of national growth when Lao Cai and Yen Bai provinces merged into Lao Cai province (new), at the same time implementing a two-level local government, Lao Cai always pays attention to cultural and human development to both preserve its identity and meet the requirements of integration and sustainable development.

After the merger, Lao Cai province has 33 ethnic groups, each with its own cultural color, blending together. Lao Cai is also proud to be the locality with the largest and most diverse number of intangible cultural heritages in the country, with 4 intangible cultural heritages recognized by UNESCO as representative intangible cultural heritages of humanity; 56 cultural heritages included in the List of National Intangible Cultural Heritages by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism; 1 relic ranked as a special national relic; 34 relics ranked as national relics, 172 relics ranked as provincial relics. Famous domestic and international tourist destinations such as: Sa Pa, Bac Ha, Nghia Lo, Mu Cang Chai... are also the lands of convergence of cultural colors that few places have.

Lao Cai's cultural heritages - a treasure trove of knowledge and unique folk culture of ethnic minorities - are also invaluable and unique tourism resources, creating a unique attraction for each land. In recent years, the province has issued many projects and action programs to implement contents and solutions, promoting the strength of the entire people to build and develop the culture - sports - tourism career associated with Lao Cai people "Friendly, benevolent, united, creative, integrated".

Mr. Nong Viet Yen - Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the province.

Entering a new era, Lao Cai province has identified tourism as one of the economic pillars. To exploit this resource well, in the draft document of the Lao Cai Provincial Party Congress for the 2025 - 2030 term, the province orients: "Promoting the cultural strength and people of Lao Cai to become an endogenous source of strength and driving force for development", "developing in a green, harmonious, unique and happy direction".

The province also identified one of the five key tasks as preserving and promoting the cultural identity and people of Lao Cai to meet the requirements of integration and sustainable development, strongly arousing the spirit of patriotism, self-reliance, self-confidence, self-reliance, national pride, and the desire to rise up. Improve the people's knowledge, take care of building and developing the culture and people of Lao Cai with the basic characteristics of the Vietnamese people, bearing the characteristics of the borderland of the Fatherland "Solidarity - Patriotism - Discipline - Civilization - Hospitality".

At the National Cultural Conference to implement the Resolution of the 13th National Congress held in November 2021, the late General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong emphasized: “Culture is the identity of the nation. If culture remains, the nation remains. If culture is lost, the nation is lost”. With an important vision, goals and strategies in developing culture and people, it is certain that, entering a new era of the nation, Lao Cai province will promote many potentials and strengths, becoming a bright spot of the Northwest region and the whole country, developing rapidly and sustainably in the direction of "green, harmony, identity and happiness".
