Throngs of holiday-makers from Ho Chi Minh City are flocking to the gardens in
Lai Vung to witness the ripening season and take photos while spending a day
picking fruit.
Travellers are advised to drop by the orchards by the 20th of the 12th lunar
month, which falls on February 5 this year, as local farmers will start picking
fruit for sale during the peak Tet (Lunar New Year) season.
From HCM City, travellers can take a bus to Dong Thap province at tour
operators’ offices on Pham Ngu Lao, De Tham and Bui Vien streets in district 1
or at a bus station on Le Hong Phong street in district 10.

Hoa Binh has taken measures, focusing on removing barriers in terms of mechanism, policy, infrastructure, and upgrading technical infrastructure facilities serving tourism and the quality of human resources, to promote tourism development in the Hoa Binh Lake area.
Over the past time, Da Bac has deployed measures to lure more domestic and foreign visitors to the locality, aiming to turn tourism into the district’s economic spearhead.
Covering an area of over 52,000 hectares spanning districts of Mai Chau, Tan Lac, Cao Phong, Da Bac, and Hoa Binh City, Hoa Binh lake has strong potential for tourism development. In recent years, thanks to the attention of local Party Committees and authorities as well as support from international organisations, the advantages of tourism in the lake area have been utilised.
Mai Chau is a mountainous district and home to many ethnic groups such as Thai, Muong, Kinh, Mong, Dao, and Tay with distinctive cultural identities, creating a diverse and unique cultural treasure. Aware of its advantages, the district has paid attention to the preservation and promotion of ethnic groups’ cultural values so that culture will become a leverage for tourism and contribute to socio-economic development and life quality improvement.
