Once again, Thua Thien Hue Karatedo took the throne with a spectacular return to the top at the 10th Central Region - Central Highlands Karatedo Championship in 2024. Also in late April, 2 athletes Le Van Tinh and Le Minh Thuan are part of the national team to compete at the Southeast Asian Championship in Thailand.

Located approximately 4km northwest of the center of A Luoi district, along the Ho Chi Minh Highway, the eco-tourism area of A Nor (Hong Kim commune) has now transformed into a vibrant homestay and farm stay hub in the highlands.

The mountainous area in the Northeast of Ha Giang in the early days of the spring is brilliant with flowers.

This season is when herbs are high in medicine and bees make honey. People in the highland of A Luoi then start their hard and dangerous trips looking for vegetables, mushrooms, honey, creek fishes, and so on.

September and October are the time when the highland district of Mu Cang Chai (Yen Bai province) is immersed in the golden color of ripe rice fields.

I happened to come across a Facebook post of a friend currently living in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. It read, “seeing seven blooming pink lotus flowers celebrating Vesak on Nhan Co Lake reminds me so much of my hometown - Hue, where Ngu Mountain and the Perfume River reside.”

Coming to A Luoi this season, you still get the chance to contemplate plum blossoms and pick the fruits from the plum trees grown in the gardens of A Luoi local people. Besides the peach blossoms, at present, the locality is encouraging and mobilizing people to grow plum blossoms in some areas to serve tourism.

Boi p'ruc is the name of the salt with leaves and seeds of the Ta Oi people in the A Luoi highland. This is the "divine" salt used for many dishes of the Ta Oi people on weekdays and traditional holidays.

On the evening of January 14th, A Luoi District People's Committee held the Opening Ceremony of the Fair and reenacted the Housewarming Celebration at the district’s fair area that had just been put into use.

The rainy season in the highlands of A Luoi is quite melancholy. In the morning, as soon as I opened the window, the mountain wind came rushing in. Looking into the distance, the Truong Son mountain range is overlapped in the light rain.
