Mau Son Summer Tourism Festival draws thousands

Mau Son Summer Tourism Festival was organised by the Lang Son Province Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism earlier this month with thousands of people and tourists attending.
The visitors took part in a food festival with traditional Dao dishes, an art exhibition held in old French villas and several other cultural and sporting activities such as lion dancing, folk singing, a cycle race and mountain climbing, Be Thi Thu Hien, deputy director of the department, said.
Located some 30 km north-east of Lang Son City, Mau Son is home to the Tay, Dao and Nung ethnic minorities. The mountain boasts a pristine landscape, clean air and cool weather all year round.
Tourists often flock here to enjoy its beautiful streams and waterfalls as well as occasionally experience snow in winter.
The area is well-known for its specialties like peaches, Tuyet Son tea, wine and rare cockerels with six claws.
