11/28/2017 - 11:15:52 AM

(HBO) – The northern mountainous province of Hoa Binh’s Cao Phong district is located on key waterways and roads that facilitate its own transport and socio-economic growth. These routes include 6A national highway, 12B and 435B provincial highways, and Hoa Binh lake that leads to Son La city.

Cao Phong is known for Muong Thang, one of the four most famous areas in Hoa Binh inhabited by the Muong ethnic community. Cao Phong is home to a range of tourist destinations such as Khanh Pagoda historical site in Yen Thuong commune; Quoen Ang Pagoda in Tan Phong commune; Cu Chinh Lan Monument in Binh Thanh commune; and Dau Rong Mountain cave complex in Cao Phong town which was recognized as a national relic site by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in 2012.

Other destinations include Hoa Son Thach, Phong Son, Nuoc (Water), Thanh Huy caves, Thuong Bong Lai Temple, Coi Mountain Flower Garden, Muong ethnic minority group’s Giang Mo village and community-based tourism establishments.

Eco and spiritual tours are highlights of local tourism.

Giang Mo village in Binh Thanh commune (Cao Phong) maintains typical features of the Muong ethnic culture.

With its landscapes and natural resources, Cao Phong is an ideal destination for community-based tourism experience, cultural research, and weekend relaxation, among others. However, the district’s tourism and services development has yet to be on par with its potentials and advantages. In the first nine months of 2017, the locality welcomed 256,687 tourists, including 1,506 foreigners. The tourism sector generated 19.2 billion VND in revenues during the period. To make a breakthrough in toruism, the district has designed a tourism development project for 2016 – 2020, with a vision toward 2030.

Currently, Cao Phong is implementing preferential policies and mechanisms to lure investment in tourism, particularly in its key destinations such as Dau Rong mountain ecotourism and spiritual tourism area and Hoa Binh lake./.
