Bac Son Valley, a district in Lang Son Province, has transformed from a historical resistance base into a leading ecological and community-based tourism destination.
Cradled by undulating limestone peaks, Bac Son Valley in Lang Son Province unfolds like a living canvas, brimming with historical relics, enchanting vistas, and picturesque landscapes. Once the cultural heartland and strategic base of the Bac Son – Vo Nhai resistance, this region has gracefully evolved into a vibrant hub for eco-tourism. Today, Bac Son invites explorers to delve into its rich tapestry of natural beauty and storied past, offering a unique blend of ecological wonders and historical charm.
The valley’s rice fields, with their vivid hues of gold, green, and new sprouts, paint a breathtaking scene akin to a giant 'brocade'.
The district's cultural diversity, represented by five ethnic groups - Tay, Nung, Kinh, Dao, and Mong - adds depth to its tourism offering. The Na Nhem Festival (Tran Yen Commune), a national intangible cultural heritage, showcases the district's deep-rooted traditions.
