In early February, Hung, a travel blogger from HCM City, initiated the "Ha Giang Passport" project with the support and collaboration of the Ha Giang Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism.

The "passport" is sold at an ice cream stall at the Km0 milestone in Ha Giang for VND30,000 per copy. It contains a list of recommended attractions in Ha Giang and notes for tourists visiting the area.

Notably, the "passport" includes a list of 15 popular tourist destinations in Ha Giang, a unique stamp for each destination. Visitors receive a stamp for each location they visit, offering a novel "check-in" method that has piqued the curiosity of many travelers.

Nguyen Dinh Quoc, 18, from Binh Duong, shared his exciting experiences during his first trip to Ha Giang. He visited the northern province during the 2025 Tet holiday and "collected" eight stamps in his "passport."

According to Quoc, the stamp that left the deepest impression was one affixed by border army officer. "Having a soldier stamp on my passport was a profoundly meaningful experience, deepening my love for my homeland, especially while standing at the frontier of our nation," he said.

Hung told VietNamNet that the first passport was released by his team on February 1. After nearly a month, the project garnered significant support from both domestic and international travelers.

Hung emphasized that the most important aspect of the project is to ignite excitement and joy among visitors as they engage in this meaningful way of preserving memories.

He explained that the destinations listed in the "Ha Giang Passport" are not just picturesque spots for photography but also embody the cultural values, landscapes and distinctive specialties of Ha Giang.

Each location in the passport has been carefully selected, carrying a complete narrative about the land, from majestic mountain passes and traditional villages to local specialties rich with local flavors.

Discussing the motivation behind the project, Hung said as an avid traveler he has been fortunate to visit many places, each offering distinctive souvenirs that remind him of his journeys.

"I love the feeling of getting an entry or exit stamp when crossing a new country’s border; each stamp tells a story of my travels," he said.

He has been to Ha Giang multiple times and has grown fond of its tourist attractions, scenery, and the genuine warmth of its people.

Thus, he wanted to contribute to creating a distinct identity for local tourism, encouraging visitors to explore more, connect destinations in an engaging way, and personalize each traveler’s experience.

Hung added that the "passport" is a means for Ha Giang to stand out, leaving a lasting impression on visitors, motivating them to return, share their experiences, and spread their affection for the region.
