The plan aims to take advantage of Mau Son tourism zone’s strengths such as climate, landscapes and ethnic minority groups’ culture while ensuring cultural preservation, security and climate change response. The move also aims to reduce poverty and build new style rural areas.
Mau Son tourism zone will be linked with potential tourist attractions in the locality and neighbouring provinces to diversify tourism products.
Mau Son, located 1,541 metres above sea level, is known for its favourable climate and the native Dao, Tay and Nung ethnic minority people as well as local specialties like peaches, tea and local wine made from indigenous plants.
Tourists can enjoy its beautiful streams and waterfalls as well as occasionally experience snow in winter.
