(HBO) - Unique cultural features and pristine nature have helped the mountainous district of Da Bac to attract visitors.
Foreign tourists excited to experience
the brocade weaving of the Dao Tien people in Sung hamlet, Cao Son commune, Da
Bac district.
Over the recent years, the district has paid great attention to developing
community-based tourism which is suitable for the mountainous district with
hamlets and villages of ethnic groups.
For example,Sung hamlet with a history of more than
500 years is home to more than 70 households of the Dao Tien ethnic group. With
untouched nature, Sung hamlet attracts more and more tourists, especially as
local people still keep their traditional houses, maintain brocade weaving and
restore their unique traditional culture.
Villager Ly Thi Nhat said that in the past, people mainly
wore the clothes they made. Nowadays, many young people have switched to
wearing ready-made clothes.
Therefore, there was a time when traditional brocade
weaving was at risk of disappearing. However, thanks to the development of
community tourism, villagers have restored traditional weaving. A brocade production
group in the hamlet currently has 12 members earning a stable income thanks to
the traditional job.
Community-based tourism also helps restore many
traditional occupations and values, for example herbal medicines. Herbal bath is now a tourism product of the hamlet.
Ly Van Minh, owner of a herbal bathing facility, said that
since ancient times, the Dao people have owned many valuable remedies,
including bath remedies. The restoration of these remedies not only helps people
preserve tradition but also creates tourism products to attract tourists.
Moreover, Sung villagers have also restored the profession
of making dó paper. Thanks to the preserved traditional cultural features, the
hamlet has made a good impression on tourists. Along with the development of
local tourism, villagers are motivated to continue to preserve and promote
their traditional culture. That creates the foundation for sustainable tourism
development, bringing long-term economic benefits to locals.
With the advantages of the natural landscape, culture, and
people, Da Bac district has a lot of potential to develop unique and attractive
types of tourism. Currently, the district is focusing on improving
infrastructure, attracting investment to promote tourism development. People
are called on to protect the landscape and environment, and harmoniously
combine cultural conservation with tourism development./.
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.
