Trang Waterfall revives after drowning, tourists bustle again

Bình Khang |

Phu Tho - After a period of stagnation due to the tragic drowning incident, Trang Waterfall is gradually reviving with a new look, attracting a large number of tourists.

More than a month ago, a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper was present at Trang Waterfall - in Trang Ta hamlet, Toan Thang commune (old Nhan My commune). At that time, there was no unity in management between the government and the people. After the drowning incident that killed 2 people, the locality considered a plan to temporarily suspend operations.

But by early July, Moonfall had many positive changes. The Management Board has come into operation, organizing ticket collection, controlling safety, and protecting the environment. People are gradually getting used to welcoming guests more systematically.

In fact, from early morning to late afternoon, Trang Waterfall is bustling with tourists. Along the waterfall entrance, many households set up tents, sold food, soft drinks, rented life jackets... Vehicles from Hanoi and neighboring provinces lined up to go to this cool stream area on the weekend.

With abundant water resources, white waterfall, and cool air, this place has become a "hot escape" chosen by many people.

Ms. Phuong, a tourist from Hanoi, shared: More than a month ago, I learned about the Moonfall through my Facebook fanpage. I was attracted to my pristine beauty. When I arrived today, I was very impressed by the cool water, clean shower area and delicious dishes imbued with the cuisine of the Muong people.

Many people in the province also choose Trang Waterfall as a weekend resort. "I have been to Mu Waterfall, Go Lao... but see Trang Waterfall as the equivalent in terms of landscape. The road is convenient, the air is cool, and the service is getting better, said Mr. Thanh (Hoa Binh Ward).

Currently, the ticket price to the waterfall is 10,000 VND/adult, free for children.

According to Ms. Phuoc, a resident of Trang Ta village, the revival of the waterfall helps people earn more income and change their thinking about tourism. "This morning, I have rented a life jacket for more than 100,000 VND," she boasted. "That amount of money is not small for people over 60 years old like me. Now everyone has learned how to cook, serve, and clean to keep customers.

Mr. Vinh, a household that builds a hut to serve food and accommodation to customers, said that on weekends, it is often overloaded if not booked in advance.

Previously, customers mainly came to shower during the day, but visitors from far away often ordered lunch. Now many visitors want to stay overnight to not only bathe in the waterfall but also explore the village, said Vinh.

A representative of the local government said that consensus in management is an important shift to develop sustainable community tourism. The locality will continue to support people in tourism, while strictly controlling safety and protecting the environment during the peak tourist season.
