On the occasion of Vietnamese Women’s Day October 20, with the aim of encouraging and motivating the spirit as well as creating favorable conditions for all female employees of PV Gas South to meet, exchange, and strengthen solidarity and bonding; from October 8–11, 2015, with the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors and Executive Committee of the Trade Union, the Women’s Union – Youth and Children Committee organized a “Back to the Roots” tour in Sapa – the City in the Mist!
Located in the Northwest of the country, Sapa is a highland city of Lao Cai province, a modest and quiet land yet hiding many wonders of nature. It captivates visitors with its misty beauty, a harmonious natural landscape of mountains, forests, and terraced fields; the poetic charm of the highland market where young men and women of the Tay, Dao, H’Mong, Ha Nhi, and other ethnic groups meet, sing, and court each other through love songs, flutes, khene, and mouth harps. Here, the delegation visited Ham Rong Mountain. Upon reaching the peak, members could admire the panoramic view of Sapa town in the mist and the majestic scenery of endless mountain ranges. The group also visited the ancient Stone Church, the most intact French architectural structure still preserved; explored Cat Cat Village – one of the oldest villages of the Mong people, attractive not only for its pristine and romantic natural beauty but also for its distinctive, diverse traditional culture. The village preserves many traditional crafts such as cotton growing, flax weaving, fabric making, and offers visitors the chance to taste authentic local dishes.
The Sapa trip left deep impressions and unforgettable emotions for members of the PV Gas South family. The most touching feelings came from the innocent eyes of ethnic children shivering in the cold rainy days, arousing in everyone compassion, generosity, sharing with the poor and children, as well as the sense of preserving and cherishing the magnificent nature.
Bidding farewell to Sapa, the delegation returned to Ho Chi Minh City with a relaxed spirit, fully recharged with energy for productive new working days ahead!
