Bac Son Region in Lang Son Primed for Tourism Boom

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'.
