Non Nuoc Cao Bang Tourism Festival 2023 opens in Hanoi

At the opening ceremony, visitors were able to immerse themselves in the melodies praising the majestic mountains and rivers of Cao Bang province whilst enjoying the impressive performance of Then singing and Tinh musical instruments.

Furthermore, residents and tourists also have the opportunity to gain greater insights into local culture, cuisine, and traditional handicrafts in the locality through stalls showcasing items at the festival, as well as joining folk games and sports activities.

To Thi Trang, deputy director of Cao Bang Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said Cao Bang boasts three special national relics and other clusters of relics, adding that the locality is in the process of developing various types of tourism such as eco-tourism and experiential tourism in a bid to attract more tourists.

She expressed her wish that the event, the first of its kind held in Hanoi, will contribute to introducing the cultural characteristics and people of Cao Bang to both local and foreign tourists.

Nguyen Trung Khanh, director of the National Tourism Administration, said that in order to maximise the province’s potential and turn tourism into an important economic sector, the locality is required to devise a specific plan which seeks to develop a range of tourism products such as eco-tourism, community tourism, and agricultural tourism, in the coming time.

The festival will run until December 10.
