Ms. Thuy Nhu in Nghia Lam commune - owner of a stall renting ethnic costumes shared: Buckwheat flowers are associated with the image of fresh Mong girls in colorful clothes, in the middle of the highland landscape. Therefore, when she learned about the flower hill, she went all the way to Ha Giang to order ethnic costumes, order Thai and Tho ethnic dresses and even order traditional Korean costumes. This gives tourists more choices. Thanks to that, her family's costume rental service for taking photos is very popular.

Another equally attractive service is taking photos with a lovely white horse. Mr. Nguyen Song Thanh in Nghia Binh commune (Nghia Dan) - the owner of the horse said: By chance, a friend suggested it, he thought of a horse rental service for taking photos. He went to Bac Giang province to buy it 2 years ago. The horse has helped tourists take photos from the sunflower field and now to the buckwheat flower hill.
From adults to children, everyone is very excited to capture the image of the flower field with the horse. What is special is that Thanh's horse is also very close to everyone, which pleases both the horse owner and the tourists. With a service price of 30,000 VND for 1 horse ride, on average, Thanh earns more than 1 million VND per day. On holidays or weekends, this figure is up to more than 6 million VND. This is not a small income in the countryside of Nghia Dan.
