Khau Vai Love Market
๐ Khau Vai Love Market โ Where Love Reunites After a Year Apart ๐
โณ Held annually on the 27th day of the 3rd lunar month
๐ Khau Vai Commune, Meo Vac District, Ha Giang
Ha Giang โ the northernmost province of Vietnam โ is not only famous for its breathtaking landscapes, towering limestone mountains, and winding passes, but also for its rich cultural heritage. Among its unique traditions, the Khau Vai Love Market stands out as a place where lovers reunite, memories are relived, and emotions are rekindled.
๐ The Legend Behind Khau Vai Love Market
Also known as the “Market of the Affluent”, Khau Vai Love Market has existed for over a century, originating from a deeply touching yet tragic love story.
๐ธ Once upon a time…
In the remote mountains of Khau Vai, a young Nung man named Ba possessed a golden voice and played the flute so beautifully that his melodies enchanted everyone, especially the young women. ๐ถ Meanwhile, in a neighboring Giay village, the beautiful Ut, the youngest daughter of the village chief, had a singing voice as sweet as a nightingale. As fate would have it, her heart beat only for Ba, and his flute called to her soul in a way no other manโs words ever could. ๐ต๐
But their love was forbidden. Ba was poor and of a different ethnic group, and in those days, marriage between a Nung and a Giay was unthinkable. Determined to be together, they ran away to the mountains, seeking refuge in love.
Their families, enraged by their defiance, waged war against each other. Arrows flew, weapons clashed, and blood was shed, all because of their forbidden love. ๐ From atop the mountains, Ba and Ut looked down in despair. Unable to bear the sight of their loved ones turning against each other, they made the heartbreaking decision to part ways, vowing to reunite in another life.
Their tearful farewell happened on the 27th day of the 3rd lunar month, which later became the date of the Khau Vai Love Market. Each year, on this day, lovers who were separated by fate return to share their stories, whisper their deepest thoughts, and sing to each other once more. ๐ถ
Years later, when Ba and Ut were old and near the end of their lives, they met again under the ancient tree where they once promised eternal love. There, they embraced and passed away in each otherโs arms. The villagers built two shrines โ “Miแบฟu รng” (His Shrine) and “Miแบฟu Bร ” (Her Shrine) โ to honor their undying love. ๐๏ธโจ
๐ A Market for Long-Lost Lovers and Timeless Emotions
๐ Every year, on the 27th day of the 3rd lunar month, the mountains of Ha Giang come alive with the spirit of love. But unlike typical markets, this one does not sell goods โ it offers something far more precious: reunions, nostalgia, and heartfelt confessions.
๐ Lovers who were separated by fate return, not to rekindle their romance, but to share stories of their lives, to laugh, reminisce, and wish each other happiness. There is no jealousy, no resentmentโonly warmth and understanding. ๐
๐ The market is also a place for new encounters. Amidst the sounds of traditional instruments, folk songs, and the rhythmic beats of dance performances, young men and women meet, flirt, and perhaps start their own love stories. ๐๐ถ
๐ As night falls, bonfires light up the mountains, and under the flickering flames, people sit together, sharing cups of warm corn wine, playing music, and pouring out their hearts under the starlit sky. ๐ฅ๐๏ธ
๐ Khau Vai Love Market is not about finding a new love but about celebrating the love that once was and will always remain in the heart.
