(HBO) - Unique cultural features and pristine nature have helped the mountainous district of Da Bac to attract visitors.


Foreign tourists excited to experience the brocade weaving of the Dao Tien people in Sung hamlet, Cao Son commune, Da Bac district.

Over the recent years, the district has paid great attention to developing community-based tourism which is suitable for the mountainous district with hamlets and villages of ethnic groups.

 

For example,Sung hamlet with a history of more than 500 years is home to more than 70 households of the Dao Tien ethnic group. With untouched nature, Sung hamlet attracts more and more tourists, especially as local people still keep their traditional houses, maintain brocade weaving and restore their unique traditional culture.

Villager Ly Thi Nhat said that in the past, people mainly wore the clothes they made. Nowadays, many young people have switched to wearing ready-made clothes.

Therefore, there was a time when traditional brocade weaving was at risk of disappearing. However, thanks to the development of community tourism, villagers have restored traditional weaving. A brocade production group in the hamlet currently has 12 members earning a stable income thanks to the traditional job.

Community-based tourism also helps restore many traditional occupations and values, for example herbal medicines. Herbal bath is now a tourism product of the hamlet.

Ly Van Minh, owner of a herbal bathing facility, said that since ancient times, the Dao people have owned many valuable remedies, including bath remedies. The restoration of these remedies not only helps people preserve tradition but also creates tourism products to attract tourists.

Moreover, Sung villagers have also restored the profession of making dó paper. Thanks to the preserved traditional cultural features, the hamlet has made a good impression on tourists. Along with the development of local tourism, villagers are motivated to continue to preserve and promote their traditional culture. That creates the foundation for sustainable tourism development, bringing long-term economic benefits to locals.

With the advantages of the natural landscape, culture, and people, Da Bac district has a lot of potential to develop unique and attractive types of tourism. Currently, the district is focusing on improving infrastructure, attracting investment to promote tourism development. People are called on to protect the landscape and environment, and harmoniously combine cultural conservation with tourism development./.
