Dong Van Old Quarter is a must-visit stop on any journey to explore Tuyen Quang, the country’s northernmost frontier. With the weather turning chilly and buckwheat flowers beginning to bloom across the fields, this is one of the most beautiful times of the year to visit Dong Van.

From August 29 to September 3, people across the country enjoyed a five-day holiday marking Vietnam’s National Day on September 2. As early autumn brings mild weather, clear golden sunshine, and cool breezes, Tuyen Quang has emerged as an attractive destination, welcoming large numbers of visitors from across the country to explore its natural beauty, cultural heritage, and historical landmarks. From the Special National Historical Site of Tan Trao, a land closely associated with important milestones in Vietnam’s revolutionary history, visitors continue their journey along winding mountain roads toward the UNESCO Global Geopark of Dong Van Karst Plateau.

Located at the foot of Quan Ba Heaven Gate, Nam Dam Community-based Cultural Tourism Village is home to the Dao ethnic community and preserves almost intact its rich traditional cultural heritage.
