(HBO) - Well-known natural waterfalls in Hoa Binh such as the Trang and the Mu, always have great appeal to visitors, especially on hot days in summer. Those sites receive large numbers of tourists on weekends.
Trang Waterfall in Nhan My commune
(Tan Lac district) attracts many tourists on hot days.
The Mu Waterfall in Tu Do
commune (Lac Son district) has regained its vitality after a period of solitude
due to the Prime Minister’s Directive 16/CT-TTg on social distancing to curb
the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic. Both locals and visitors from other
localities have returned to the fall to seek relaxation during the hot weather
in early summer.
Travelling to the fall has
become easier thanks to the upgraded road to Lac Son. Along the road, visitors
can enjoy the beautiful scenery. Some upgrade has also been made to facilities
around the fall, such as stairs to access the fall and a concrete bridge at its
foot, allowing visitors to have a better view of the impressive water flows.
The Trang (Moon) Waterfall
in Nhan My commune (Tan Lac district) is also popular among tourists. Located
only 10km from the district’s centre and accessed by provincial road 436, it is
easy to reach the fall, which is surrounded by fertile terraced fields and
stilt houses. Visitors can be seen at the fall every day since early May.
Bui Van Thong, an official
of Nhan My commune, said the number of tourists visiting the Trang Fall reaches
the hundreds, even thousands, at weekends. He added that local people have
opened shops selling drinks, but a lack of management at the site has resulted
in littering, causing environmental pollution at the area around the fall.
Besides the Trang and Mu,
there are also other waterfalls in Hoa Binh such as Go Lao in Mai Chau district
or Cuu Thac Tu Son in Kim Boi. The cool water at the falls and the untouched
landscape make those sites attractive destinations during summer.
The picturesque scenery of Hoa Binh Lake has endowed its tourism site with a unique allure. In recent years, localities have been harnessing the potential of the lake area and domestic and international tourists have chosen the site for sightseeing and leisure journeys.
The Hoa Binh Lake tourism area is expected to become a national tourism site by 2030, focusing on developing synchronous and modern technical facilities, and high-quality and branded tourism products imbued with national cultural identities. The tourist site also aims to become the largest tourist centre in the province, and one of 12 key tourist areas in the Northern midland and mountainous region
On April 5th, in Hoa Binh city, the Tourism Association of Hoa Binh province and Tourism Association of Ba Ria - Vung Tau province jointly organized a conference to promote cooperation and tourism development. There was the attendance of Mr. Nguyen Van Toan, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee.
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.
