In the mountainous north of Vietnam, Tuyen Quang reveals itself as a land where the beauty of nature blends harmoniously with the cultural diversity of more than twenty ethnic groups. Surrounded by mountains, rivers, and fertile valleys, the Lo, Gam, and Pho Day Rivers wind gently through the land, creating landscapes that look like living paintings. Here, people have long lived in peace with the rhythm of nature and the sky.
Visiting Tuyen Quang is also a journey into history — to Tan Trao, the cradle of the August Revolution. This sacred site preserves the memory of Vietnam’s most heroic days and inspires a deep sense of national pride.
Among its natural treasures, the Na Hang – Lam Binh ecological complex stands out, often called the “Ha Long Bay in the mountains”. A boat ride on its emerald-green lake is a magical experience: endless mountain ranges are mirrored on the water’s surface, while Mo and Khuoi Nhi waterfalls hide softly in the mist. Adventurers can trek through the pristine forests and, if lucky, catch sight of the shy white-cheeked langurs, symbols of an untouched ecosystem.
Tuyen Quang also charms visitors with its famous Lantern City Festival, Vietnam’s largest Mid-Autumn Festival celebration. During these joyful nights, giant lanterns light up the streets with creative shapes and vibrant colors, reflecting the happiness, warmth, and optimism of the local people.
The local cuisine is another delight: Lo River fish salad, Na Hang black pork, ant egg sticky rice cakes, and corn wine fermented with herbs — all simple yet unique dishes that carry the warm and generous soul of the mountains.
Come to Tuyen Quang, listen to the echoes of history, feel the purity of nature, and enjoy the sincere smiles of its people. In this peaceful land, every moment becomes a precious memory that reconnects you with life itself.
