(HBO) - Previously, Luong Son district was known for its tourist spots, such as some famous places, famous archaeological relics like Tram cave, Rong cave, Trau cave, Diem's stone roof and Vua Ba mountain, Cho cave, Da Bac cave, etc. Now, it - the province's gateway land- has a special attraction by a series of luxurious and attractive resorts such as Sunset Villa and Resort (Tan Vinh commune), Violet Villa (Nhuan Trach commune) , Sunny Garden Resort & Villas (Tan Vinh commune), etc.
Sunset Villa and Resort (Tan Vinh commune,
Luong Son) is an attractive destination for tourists with activities such as
meeting friends, relaxing of the family groups at weekends.
Currently, in Luong Son district, there are 7
enterprises developing tourism services, of which 5 enterprises develop the
type of resort and ecological tourism; 1 enterprise develops the entertainment
tourism; 1 enterprise develops tourism of transport services. The tourism
products serve tourists with good quality and continuous nature.
The formation of tourism products and
investment in tourism development infrastructure are also paid special
attention by the District. In the whole district, there are 42 accommodation
establishments with a total of 553 rooms, including 6 hotels. The supplementary
services for tourism development such as restaurants, entertainment and
relaxing destinations have also been invested and developed.
Talking to us, Ms. Le Quynh Hoai, Khuong in
Khuong Trung Ward, Thanh Xuan District, Hanoi City said: One of the places that
my family and friends love and often go for relaxing at the weekend is the
villas, resorts in Luong Son. The transportation is convenient, the resort
spots are newly built with modern architecture, close to nature, the scenery is
beautiful, poetic, quiet, fresh, the villa grounds are well equipped with
swimming pool, full kitchen enough facilities, karaoke rooms, outdoor
barbecues, etc. which are suitable for 4 or 5 families relaxing on weekends or
meeting friends. In particular, some villas such as Violet Villa also recommend
visitors to wear purple - white clothes to match the architectural colors that
create a quite interesting feeling when staying here. With the quality of 4- 5
stars but the resorts are priced around 2 million VND / villa with 2 bedrooms
or 6 million VND with large stilt houses with the capacity of 50 people, which
I think is reasonable.
Thanks to the potential and attractive
tourist products, the number of tourists coming to Luong Son has increased over
the years. In 2018, Luong Son expects to welcome more than 110 thousand
tourists (reaching 100% of the year plan). The total revenue from tourism is
