Tourist attraction model in Tan Hoa

Tan Hoa is traversed by the Xa No canal and National Highway 61C, making it convenient for both land and water transportation. The area is crisscrossed with rivers and canals, lush vegetation, and year-round freshwater, making it ideal for the development of ecotourism and community-based tourism. In recent years, Tan Hoa has implemented diverse economic models, with ecotourism and community-based tourism being a promising direction.

Tan Hoa commune currently boasts many attractive destinations, including Ngoc Dao Goat Milk Farm (Hamlet 2B, tel: 0364.004.543) and Muong Dinh Homestay Tourist Area (Nhon Phu 1 Hamlet; tel: 0357.649.117 - 0789.684.844), which are strongly attracting domestic and international tourists. In addition, Tan Hoa also has many typical OCOP products such as Ngoc Dao Goat Milk, Tran De Dried Young Pomelo, Hong Nhien Coconut Coffee, Tam Minh Honey, Bay Ngan Mangoes, etc., which are very popular with tourists.

Recently, a group of guests departed from the Legacy Mekong waiting area (Hau River Park, Cai Khe Ward) and were transported by speedboat to Au Island (Hung Phu Ward) to the peaceful, lush green resort of Legacy Mekong. Crossing the river in just over 5 minutes, winding through rows of fruit-laden mangrove trees, domestic and international tourists truly felt like they were returning to the tranquil waterways of the Mekong Delta. Within its expansive grounds spanning many hectares, Legacy Mekong (tel: 02923.627.888) features a system of bungalows and private villas, nestled under the shade of trees, filled with the cheerful sounds of birds, creating an unusually peaceful and harmonious natural environment.
