(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.
On the occasion of the Lunar New Year, visitors from near and far are eager to come to the mountainous district of Da Bac to have unique cultural experiences such as learning to wrap traditional cakes of ethnic minorities, practicing writing ancient Tay characters or immersing themselves in the Tay melodies.
Tan Lac has great potential for tourism development. In addition, the Provincial Party Committee issued Resolution No. 13-NQ/TU, dated October 17, 2022, on building the highland communes in Tan Lac district into provincial-level tourism areas by 2030, with a vision to 2050. However, according to the assessment, implementing the goals in the spirit of Resolution No. 13-NQ/TU has had limited results.
Recognising that tourism and agriculture are local strengths, Mai Chau district is committed to building a green economy through an action program with specific pathways, achieving notable results in line with the resolution of the 26th Party Congress of the district.
With its majestic natural landscapes, diverse ethnic cultures, and numerous unique festivals, Hoa Binh province is an attractive destination that entices travellers from far and wide to explore and experience during the Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday.
Being held around the 30th of the 11th lunar month right after the harvest season ends, the traditional New Year of Mong ethnic group lasts until the last day of the 12th lunar month. On this occasion, the community tourism destinations of Pa Co and Hang Kia communes (Mai Chau) attract many visitors to experience and explore the unique customs of New Year.
