The location that Uong Bi City wishes to cooperate with Vang Danh Coal Joint Stock Company to open a special tour is the +122 furnace and the +135 furnace. These are the first 2 furnace gates of Vang Danh Coal Joint Stock Company to be put into operation since its establishment in 1964.
Uong Bi City hopes to research and connect to develop sightseeing tours and mine experiences, promising to become a new and unique tourism product of the locality in the coming time.
If possible, Uong Bi will be the first locality in Quang Ninh to open tours from coal mining activities.
Among the 62 tourism products registered to be launched to tourists in 2024, there is also one product related to the Coal industry, which is a tour to take tourists to visit the Deo Nai coal mine, Cam Pha city. However, the plan is still only on paper.
When talking about Quang Ninh tourism, public opinion often thinks of sea tourism, Ha Long Bay, Yen Tu... However, there is another special, invaluable and unique tourism resource in the country that is also of interest to many people and can completely exploit tourism, which is the open-pit coal mines and the majestic beautiful mines, with countless stories about culture, history, revolutionary movements, and the life of the Miners.
Previously, Quang Ninh also piloted taking tourists to visit the open-pit coal mine of Ha Tu Coal Company, Ha Long City but then stopped completely.
Tourism and travel companies have repeatedly proposed opening tours to visit coal mines, especially open-pit coal mines in Ha Long and Cam Pha, to both diversify tourism products and provide tourists with special products, thereby gradually contributing to turning Quang Ninh into a 4-season tourist destination.
