Sharing a more than 300km long border with China, but the rugged terrain features make the northern province of Cao Bang difficult to develop economy. However, the province, taking advantages of stunning natural landscapes and multi-ethnic cultures, has been paying attention to developing tourism. Boasting of more than 200 heritage sites and four national intangible cultural heritages, Cao Bang’s local authorities have decided to turn tourism into the leading industry of its economy. Besides the popular tourism destination of Trung Khanh, where is known for the Ban Gioc waterfall, the fourth largest on a national border in the world, Cao Bang sees enormous potentials in boosting community-based tourism in the remote districts, where 95 percent of the population being ethnic minorities, namely Tay, Nung, H’mong, Dao, San Chi, and Lo Lo. These ethnic group own their distinct culture and traditional customs that are still preserved during their daily life activities. VNA Photo: Nhật Anh
