Dong Van plateau is known as one of
the 77 geological parks in the world and the second in Southeast Asia
after the Langkawi Geological Park in Malaysia. With an immense area of
limestone mountains and deserts of rugged rocks, the plateau is also
called the land of rocks. Yet, the locals have, for thousands of years,
attached their whole lives to their native land and earn their living on
small pieces of land on the rocky mountains.
Going
to the northern mountain provinces, tourists may see rocks on both
sides of the road. In the background of the grey colour of rocks is the
green of crops on small plots scattered on the rocky ground. The plants
seem to absorb all nutriments from the thin layer of land on pot-holes
to bud and turn into verdant carpets, covering the rocky area
Every year in March when it is still cool, ethnic groups, mainly the Mong people prepare for a new crop. To make the seeds sprout and grow well, they must toil in the fields for several days. They use a special farming tool to dig deep in pot-holes on the mountain, then carry the soil from the foot of the mountain and put them in every pot-hole before sowing seeds.

Over the years, generations of ethnic
groups held on to the dry and rocky land and wherever they go, the green
spreads and gradually replaces the grey of rocks, showing a strong
vitality in the poor area. Here, despite the harsh weather together with
the shortage of fertilizers, the plants still grow well, blossom and
give fruit, repaying the locals for their diligence and hard work.
