Thong Nguyen's Terraced Fields: Leveraging the Potential of Community Tourism

Amid the rugged mountain ranges of western Tuyen Quang, Thong Nguyen Commune has long been known for its ancient Shan Tuyet tea trees, peaceful villages home to various ethnic communities, and, above all, its terraced fields winding like silk ribbons around the mountainsides. More than the result of generations of painstaking work to cultivate the land, the terraced fields of Thong Nguyen are now becoming a valuable “green asset”, opening up new opportunities for community tourism linked with cultural preservation and sustainable economic development.
