Special tourist attraction in northern border province


VietNamNet Bridge - Tan Thanh Cultural Festival has been a highly celebrated event by people in the northern border Lang Son province for many years.

Pilgrims rush to Lang Son in April to enjoy lyrical melodies of the Tay and Nung ethnic groups, to take part in folk games and eat a local specialty dish sheetmelling roast pig.

This year’s festival will be held on April 26 and 27 under the banner “Tan Thanh border gate economic zone – potential for international economic integration”.

Located 154km north-east of Hanoi, Lang Son shares 253km of border with China ’s Guangxi province and the festival reflects this mix of cultures.

During the festival, visitors can enjoy cultural performances from many parts of the country and China, as well as special dishes of Vietnam and its neighbour.

But it is not just the festival that makes the northern province such an appealing place to visit. Those that travel to Lang Son are always amazed by the natural beauty of the land that boasts Tam Thanh and Nhi Thanh caves and the magnificent Vong Phu (waiting for husband) mountain with its high peak named Lady To Thi because it resembles a woman with a baby in arms looking up to the sky.

Visitors can also go to the Tan Thanh border gate market and go shopping at one of the country’s most eventful markets.

Lang Son has Huu Nghi and Dong Dang international border gates and a railway that moves into China. The province is considered to offer opportunities for economic exchange with China, central Asia and other countries. Up to 80 percent of the provincial budget come from commercial tax.

In the first quarter of the year, Lang Son welcomed 446, 000 tourists, including 40, 000 foreigners, a year-on-year increase of 39 percent.
