Quan họ spring festivals
Centuries-old male-female vocal duets sung at temples and fairs during early spring — the deepest root of Việt Nam folk music.
关于Bắc Ninh
Bắc Ninh sits in the heart of the Red River delta, birthplace of Quan họ folk singing where duets still echo across spring festivals. Its craft villages — Đông Hồ painting, Bút Tháp and Phật Tích pagodas, Đình Bảng communal house — weave centuries of tradition along the Cầu river.
The province blends festival tradition with quiet craft practices — watch lychee orchards ripen in Lục Ngạn, explore the Tây Yên Tử slopes' ancient temples, then sit for a slow morning of phở in a delta market town.

Đông Hồ painting village
Hand-printed woodblock paintings in folk style — bright roosters, fish and children — made and sold by artists who learned at their parents' knee.
Phật Tích and Bút Tháp pagodas
Two of the oldest temples in the delta, where stone towers rise against the sky and courtyards shelter centuries of prayer.
Đình Bảng communal house
A 12th-century gathering place, its curved wooden roof and carved gates among the finest in Việt Nam — a masterpiece of wood craft.
Lục Ngạn lychee orchards
Spring blossom through summer harvest — the orchards roll across red soil, and locals will gladly welcome you to pick and taste.
Tây Yên Tử mountain slopes
Forest paths climbing through the former Bắc Giang hills, ancient temples and monasteries folded in the green.
吃什么
Lychee
The province's fame — tender-fleshed fruit in early summer, eaten fresh from the tree or dried for winter.
Cốm (young green rice)
Sticky rice at its brief prime, wrapped in lotus leaves — an autumn speciality from the delta's craft villages.
Bún chả
Charcoal-grilled pork patties over a dipping sauce with herbs and rice noodles — made best in the villages nearby.
