The organising committee of the 2024 Hoa Binh Culture and Tourism Week on November 17 took a group of guests from various provinces and cities on a tour to survey several attractions within the Hoa Binh Lake Tourism Area.
The delegation explores the ecological resort model at Mo village in Hien Luong commune, Da Bac district.
With its picturesque "mountain-water harmony" landscape, the Hoa Binh Lake Tourism Area is striving to meet the criteria for national tourism area status. It aims to become one of the 12 key tourism destinations in the northeastern mountainous region, offering distinctive travel experiences that combine cultural exploration with the ecosystem of the reservoir. The area is drawing attention from investors and is gaining popularity with both domestic and international tourists.
The group set off from Bich Ha Wharf, and visited eco-resorts such as Mo village and Xoan Retreat in Hien Luong commune, as well as the spiritual tourism site of Thac Bo Temple in Thung Nai commune in Cao Phong district. Along the way, they enjoyed the breathtaking natural scenery, explored cultural and historical values, and discovered the unique attractions of the region.
The tour provided the participants with memorable experiences, leaving deep impressions of the majestic landscapes, culture, and people of Hoa Binh. As part of the activities during the Culture and Tourism Week, this survey trip played a vital role in promoting and advertising the province's tourism destinations. It was also a key effort in introducing, promoting, and connecting tour routes to the Hoa Binh Lake Tourism Area, encouraging both domestic and international visitors to explore this unique destination.
As the new year begins and festive spirit fills the air, visitors flock to Hoa Binh lake, often dubbed the "Ha Long Bay on land," to enjoy its breathtaking beauty and serene atmosphere. In spring, the lake comes alive with lush greenery and delicate blossoms, while boats carrying eager tourists glide across its tranquil waters.
With effective business operations, significant increases in the number of visitors at weekends and on public holidays, and being listed among the 71 most beautiful places to visit worldwide by the prestigious US travel magazine Condé Nast Traveller, Hoa Binh’s tourism is "spreading its wings" on its journey towards the targets of welcoming 4.9 million visitors, including 1 million foreigners, and achieving total tourism revenue of 5.4 trillion VND (211.89 million USD) in 2025.
On February 21, the Provincial People's Committee held a conference to implement the tourism plan in 2025 and meet with tourism businesses operating in the province. The event was chaired by Mr. Nguyen Van Toan, the Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee and the Head of the Provincial Tourism Steering Committee.
Tien Pagoda is located in the valley of Lao Noi and Lao Ngoai villages, Phu Nghia commune, Lac Thuy district; it is surrounded by two mountain ranges stretching like two giant dragons reaching for the blue sky. Every year, when spring comes, thousands of Buddhists and tourists from all over the country make a pilgrimage to Tien Pagoda. The relic complex of Tien Pagoda is ranked as a national relic by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism with 21 relic sites of many types: historical and cultural relics, scenic relics, and archaeological relics.
Cao Phong has paid due attention to developing tourism, creating impetus for socio-economic development towards completing the targets set in the resolution of the district’s 28th Party Congress for the 2020-2025 tenure.
A great number of visitors have flocked to tourist attractions in Hoa Binh province in the first lunar month every year to admire the beautiful scenery, fully enjoy the spring atmosphere, and immerse themselves in the festive atmosphere in many localities.
