Lung Cu commune in Tuyen Quang province has chosen tourism as its leading economic sector, not only capitalising on local strengths but also as a natural path to create jobs, support sustainable poverty reduction, and enhance living standards in Vietnam’s northernmost region. Covering 95.2 square kilometres and comprising 37 villages with a population of over 15,000, Lung Cu is a border commune of strategic importance. It boasts distinctive tourism assets, including the Lung Cu National Flag Tower, the northernmost point of Vietnam, and a rich cultural space shaped by highland ethnic communities.
