With mountain peaks covered by fog, high cliffs and immense green forests, That Son welcomes visitors to the land of historic values. The area is also entering the next stage of robust growth thanks to its great tourism potentials.

The greater the effort, the sweeter the reward. Despite many disadvantages, local authorities have built up beautiful images of Bay Nui landscapes and people, leaving a deep impression on travelers in the countryside. Therefore, the region has seen magical changes day after day.

Local residents have been familiar with a long line of cars and coaches on the spacious Road 948 carrying tourists to the mysterious That Son.

“Every year, Tinh Bien welcomes millions of visitors who come for sightseeing and leisure. Therefore, the local government has developed large-scale projects at Nui Cam, a half-mountain half-plain area, to create a distinction for the heroic land. The provincial road 948, which is a key road in the region, has been upgraded to serve the increasing number of holidaymakers,” said Nguyen Thanh Huan, chairman of Tinh Bien District.

Charming landscapes and mysterious legends of Bay Nui carry both strong tourism potentials and background values of patriotism. “We hope that tourists to Tinh Bien would stay longer to share our joys and achievements we’ve made, instead of just visiting some pagodas or eating some local specialties and leaving,” Huan said.
