Update: 21-08-2019 | 11:12:24

If you want to escape the bustle of cities during weekends, let’s come to Dau Tieng district in ecotourism style. This will be an appropriate and interesting choice...

Dau Tieng Reservoir - an attractive tourist destination.

A group of young people we met at Dau Tieng Reservoir in this summer seemed to be very interested in their short journey. According to Nhat Thanh, the person elected as team leader of the trip said that they came from Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai, and Binh Duong. All members are working in Ho Chi Minh City. They have a common view that young people have to work hard and experience life through domestic and foreign tours. “Our friends in Binh Duong invited us to their hometown. I organized nearly a dozen of short trips like this to southern provinces and cities. Weekend trips within one day like this, Dau Tieng is a good choice”, Nhat Thanh shared.

On the way from Ho Chi Minh City to Dau Tieng district, these young people said they visited Phu An Bamboo Village, Dot Champa tourist area, Nui Cau Pagoda, Dau Tieng Reservoir... To enjoy specialties, they were impressed by Tan An rice paper and roasted duck in Ho Trau. The sceneries on the way to Dau Tieng with rubber plantations, fruit-rich orchards made these young people admiring and elated. Charming water, peaceful forests helped them to temporarily forget the pressure of work or worries about life.

Dau Tieng v is a destination worth visiting. This is the largest artificial reservoir in the country and is one of the most important irrigation works in the South. Associate Professor Dr. Huynh Quoc Thang (University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Ho Chi Minh City National University) also appreciated the ecotourism of Binh Duong, including Dau Tieng. At Binh Duong Tourism Seminar - improving competitiveness, turning towards sustainability, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Huynh Quoc Thang also made a speech emphasizing ecotourism. Accordingly, ecotourism and handicraft villages have a good influence on the province's socio-economic development strategy. The strength of Dau Tieng ecotourism is at its location along the Saigon River. Saigon River from Lai Thieu (Thuan An Town) to Dau Tieng district is suitable for waterway traffic development, goods trading, and tourism. It is also a waterway connecting historical relics and landscapes such as Ba Lua Temple (Thu Dau Mot City), Ben Duoc (Cu Chi District, Ho Chi Minh City), Ben Suc (Dau Tieng District), especially Dau Tieng Reservoir - a famous tourist destination known by many people. All are strengths for Dau Tieng to further develop tourism industry. People here also need support and training to find ways to do tourism, promote local brands and products through the way of doing business combined with ecotourism...

Nguyen Thanh Phong, Deputy Director of provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said that the department also had many field trips to survey and examine ecotourism models in Dau Tieng. The common spirit is to support good and effective ways, encourage socialization to increase employment opportunities, increase income, and contribute to promoting the potential of this land.

Hopefully with specific actions, with the right investment, Dau Tieng would gain a strong ecotourism development in the future.
