Since the beginning of summer, the scenic Trang (Moon) waterfall has become a popular destination for tourists both within and outside the province. The development of food and sightseeing services has brought income to local households.


With its pristine beauty, Trang waterfall has become a summer magnet to tourists from near and far.

Located in Trang Ta hamlet, Nhan My commune, Tan Lac district, the waterfall was recognised as a provincial-level scenic spot by the provincial People’s Committee in 2019. The number of visitors to the waterfall has surged, especially during holidays and weekends. Many local households have built huts and shelters around the waterfall area to cater to tourists’ demand. 

Bui Van Hoang from Trang Ta hamlet shared that the number of visitors is increasing, generating additional income to local households. 

With the strong development of social media platforms, images of the scenic Trang waterfall have been widely shared, attracting even more visitors outside the province.

Nguyen Kim Anh, a tourist from Hanoi said, that the travel time from Hanoi to the waterfall is about two hours, and the traffic is quite convenient. She and her friends were impressed by the beautiful waterfall, the friendliness of the locals, and delicious food. 
 
Trang waterfall is becoming an exciting destination to explore the nature and culture of the Muong ethnic people. For local residents, the growing popularity of Trang waterfall has become a pride.

Bui Van Tan, Vice Chairman of Nhan My commune People's Committee, said that Trang waterfall has been recognised as a provincial-level scenic spot by the provincial People's Committee. The commune has established a management board for the site and assigned a team to manage the waterfall. 

He noted that although the number of visitors is increasing, the waterfall remains pristine and undeveloped. Therefore, the locality hopes that higher-level authorities and sectors will invest in developing the locality’s tourism spot.

After the 2024 tourism season, the commune plans to adjust the planning of Trang waterfall to align with local cultural characteristics, such as constructing huts and shelters modeled after traditional stilt houses in an attempt to lure more visitors while introducing Muong culture to tourists.
