Besides, there are Mother Goddess temples, eco-tourist sites and ethnic groups’ cultural villages, among others.
The locality has built its own tourism brand through the Tuyen Citadel Festival that coincides with the mid-Autumn Festival, displaying hundreds of giant lantern models.
The Vice Chairman highlighted that considering tourism one of the province’s four economic breakthroughs, Tuyen Quang province has been implementing many infrastructure projects serving tourism development.
The province has cooperated with northwestern provinces and key tourist attractions to lure visitors, he added.
According to of the provincial People’s Committee, many of 15 projects Tuyen Quang is calling for investment at the upcoming conference are for tourism development, including the Song Lo Resort City, the Nui Dum and Phieng Bung ecological tourism areas.
