Blessed by nature with beautiful landscapes with hundreds of caves, waterfalls, grass hills and a cultural space imbued with ethnic identity, some destinations in Cao Phong district are likened to "fairyland" or "tourist paradise". Clearly identifying its potential and advantages, over the recent years, the district has continuously invested in embellishing, preserving and increasing the value of its landscapes and relic sites to develop tourism.

been focusing on implementing key tasks and solutions such as continuing to
promote dissemination to raise public awareness of tourism development,
mobilising resources to invest in building infrastructure, especially
