(HBO) – The Tu Ly – Hien Luong site was among the four revolutionary bases in Hoa Binh located within the Hoa – Ninh – Thanh warzone (Quang Trung warzone) during the August 1945 Revolutionary.


Community-based tourism in Ke hamlet, Hien Luong commune (Da Bac).

 

Returning to Hien Luong in a typical Autumn day of August, I saw the land, once a revolutionary base, transforming itself into a new rural style area. The locality’s natural land spans 4,000 hectares, yet just a small portion of this is suitable for agriculture while and the majority is forestry land. Local authorities have worked to guide residents to capitalise on the limited agriculture land. To date, local farmers have cultivated 11.5 ha of summer-autumn rice and 140 ha of corn, while tending 45 ha of cassava, 20 ha of edible canna, 1 ha of small taro, 3 ha of ginger, 3 ha of bean and peanut, and 7.5 ha of vegetables. As for animal husbandry, they have been focusing on raising 220 buffalos, 316 cows, 635 goats, and over 16,000 fowls.

 Taking advantage of Hien Luong’s lake areas, its people have invested in aquatic farming of species, known as local specialties, in recent years. Fish farms currently occupy 12.1 ha of water surface in the commune, of which 8.1 ha are employed to raise fish in 389 cages. Of the total cages, 154 are self-invested, while 135 others have secured support under Decision 10 of the provincial People’s Committee. These farms’ productivity has to date exceeded 30 tonnes, of which 6.8 tonnes are caged fish.

 The local stunning lakes create a favourable condition for the development of community tourism. A number of residents in Ke hamlet have taken part in the business. They received support from the Australian Foundation for the Peoples of Asia and the Pacific in terms of capital, house upgrade, equipment purchase, and training courses. The business is new to locals but showing potential in attracting foreign and domestic visitors who want to discover local life and culture.
