Since the beginning of summer, the scenic Trang (Moon) waterfall has become a popular destination for tourists both within and outside the province. The development of food and sightseeing services has brought income to local households.
With
its pristine beauty, Trang waterfall has become a summer magnet to tourists
from near and far.
Located in Trang Ta hamlet, Nhan My commune, Tan Lac district, the waterfall
was recognised as a provincial-level scenic spot by the provincial People’s
Committee in 2019. The number of visitors to the waterfall has surged,
especially during holidays and weekends. Many local households have built huts
and shelters around the waterfall area to cater to tourists’ demand.
Bui Van Hoang from Trang Ta hamlet shared that the number of
visitors is increasing, generating additional income to local households.
With the strong development of social media platforms, images of
the scenic Trang waterfall have been widely shared, attracting even more
visitors outside the province.
Nguyen Kim Anh, a tourist from Hanoi said, that the travel time from Hanoi to
the waterfall is about two hours, and the traffic is quite convenient. She and
her friends were impressed by the beautiful waterfall, the friendliness of the
locals, and delicious food.
Trang waterfall is becoming an exciting destination to explore
the nature and culture of the Muong ethnic people. For local residents, the
growing popularity of Trang waterfall has become a pride.
Bui Van Tan, Vice Chairman of Nhan My commune People's Committee, said that
Trang waterfall has been recognised as a provincial-level scenic spot by the
provincial People's Committee. The commune has established a management board
for the site and assigned a team to manage the waterfall.
He noted that although the number of visitors is increasing, the
waterfall remains pristine and undeveloped. Therefore, the locality hopes that
higher-level authorities and sectors will invest in developing the locality’s
tourism spot.
After
the 2024 tourism season, the commune plans to adjust the planning of Trang waterfall
to align with local cultural characteristics, such as constructing huts and
shelters modeled after traditional stilt houses in an attempt to lure more
visitors while introducing Muong culture to tourists.
