One of the outstanding trekking routes in Binh Lieu district built into a tourism product since 2024 is the journey from Song Mooc village to Khe Tien village (Dong Van commune).
The route is more than 10km long, crossing the salmon forest, cinnamon forest, bamboo forest, natural forest; following streams and terraced fields; passing through the villages of the Tay, Dao, and San Chi people; admiring the rammed houses that are decades old.
Ms. Nguyen My Dung (30 years old, Ha Long City) shared: I have walked and climbed mountains in Fansipan, Hang En, Yen Tu... This is the first time trekking through the forest in Dong Van, Binh Lieu. This type is quite new, requiring both tourists and tour guides to have time and patience.
Along the journey, there are very unique stops - it can be a waterfall, a stream, a village with few people or a person going to the local forest to catch a story.
From April 30, Ms. Dung stayed at Huong Hoi Que homestay (Khe Tien village, Dong Van commune).
Here, visitors will sleep in rammed houses with amenities like a hotel, eat together, live together and experience like a local with the homeowner.
Mr. Duong Phuchim - homestay owner (who often leads groups of tourists through the forest) - said: "In the time of the April 30 and 1.5 holidays this year, the homestay has full rooms. Tourists come not only to explore the Daoism's Kien Gioi culture, but also to conquer mountain peaks such as Cao Ba Lanh and Keo Lan mountain".
From April 30 to May 4, 2025, Dong Van commune will organize a series of cultural - sports - tourism activities such as: Opening and holding a ceremony to receive the National Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Golden Eagle.
