Against the gray stone backdrop, the colors of spring stand out vividly, bringing warmth and freshness to this remote border region.

With the coming of spring, villages seem to “change their attire.” Laughter echoes across courtyards. Ethnic minority communities don their vibrant traditional costumes; every embroidered pattern, strip of fabric, and headscarf reflects a cultural identity carefully preserved through generations.

Amidst this living canvas, the sight of border guards gathering with local residents further deepens the bond between the military and the people along the nation’s frontier. They safeguard the land through duty and protect the villages through the trust of the people, providing a firm pillar of support so that spring in the mountainous area is not only beautiful in its blossoms, but also warm with faith and peace.

Spring on the rocky plateau, therefore, is not merely a season of heaven and earth, but also a season of cultural identity, community, and renewed vitality in the border areas of Tuyen Quang.

Below are photos of beauty of mountainous areas in Tuyen Quang.
