(BLC) – On December 2, a highly anticipated event is the first Lai Chau Province Open Off-Road Motorcycle Race in Tan Uyen District. The race is organized in collaboration between Lai Chau Province, Tan Uyen District and VTV5 (Vietnam Television). In just a few days, Tan Uyen is ready to welcome athletes and tourists to watch and cheer.

According to Mr. Pham Minh Hau - Director of the Ethnic Language Television Department (VTV5 channel - Vietnam Television Station (VTV)), each locality has different beauty and advantages. However, Tan Uyen is a locality with very beautiful terrain thanks to its 70-year-old tea hills, immense and boundless; pineapple hills, and green fruit trees. Organizing this adventure sport competition is an opportunity for units to coordinate to promote and introduce the beautiful natural landscape, customs, and good culture of ethnic minorities in Tan Uyen district and the potential and strengths of the locality to domestic and foreign friends.

The green tea hills in Tan Uyen become a race track that attracts all eyes.

After receiving the invitation from the Provincial People's Committee, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Lai Chau province, the Ethnic Language Television Department (VTV5 - Vietnam Television Station) conducted surveys in Tan Uyen district three times. The survey showed that the conditions, landscape, racetrack and terrain here are very suitable for organizing off-road motorcycle racing. The Department, together with the district, the Vietnam Sports Motorcycle Federation, and the Hanoi City Sports Motorcycle and Off-road Club, decided to organize the tournament in the district.

Mr. Hoang Ngoc Lan - Director of the District Center for Culture, Sports and Communication - the unit directly advising the district on the organization of the tournament said: "This is the first time in the province in general, and Tan Uyen district in particular, this event has taken place, so the district has invested a lot of effort in researching, learning from experience as well as closely coordinating with the organizing unit so that all preparations are as thorough as possible.

The riders are ready for the race.

The off-road motorcycle race will be broadcast live on VTV5 and promoted on digital platforms of Vietnam Television. The Organizing Committee has identified this as an event to promote and introduce local tourism products and services to a large number of tourists and travel businesses; connecting tours and routes with tourism businesses in and outside the province. Stimulating tourism, developing the economy and society. Through activities to promote and introduce the beauty and uniqueness in culture, traditional customs and practices of ethnic minorities in Tan Uyen district.

As expected, there will be about 80 athletes participating in 3 events for the open, semi-professional and professional systems. For the open system, athletes will race 2 laps (5km/lap); the semi-professional system will race 3 laps (5.5km/lap) and the professional system will race 3 laps (6km/lap). During the preparation process, the Organizing Committee will arrange the routes alternating between natural and artificial race tracks with obstacles to make it difficult and create many emotions for each athlete to overcome their own challenges. During the live broadcast, the production team will promote the beauty of the landscape and the potential and strengths of the locality interspersed with the athletes' race routes, both attractive and relaxing...

Many difficult roads, having to cross rocky streams is one of the interesting challenges for racers.

According to the Organizing Committee, the last months of the year, the most beautiful time of Tan Uyen district, have passed. If it were held during the rice harvest season, the images on the racetrack would be much more beautiful. In the coming years, when the Lao Cai – Hanoi expressway project is connected to Lai Chau province, while Tan Uyen is located on the main road, this will certainly be an attractive tourist destination.

At the press conference providing information to the press about the race, Mr. Lo Van Bien - Vice Chairman of the District People's Committee, Deputy Head of the Standing Committee of the Tournament Organizing Committee emphasized: This is one of the activities to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the separation and establishment of Lai Chau province (January 1, 2004 - January 1, 2024) and the 15th anniversary of the separation and establishment of Tan Uyen district (January 1, 2009 - January 1, 2024). While waiting for new traffic projects that have been and are being invested in the district, Tan Uyen hopes that through the press channels, the beautiful images, potentials and advantages of the district will be promoted and spread more so that visitors from near and far will know, visit and seek investment opportunities.
