Immersing yourself in the cool stream water, enjoying sturgeon, hill chicken, wild vegetables, bamboo shoots... right in the middle of the mountains and forests with the chirping of birds, breathing the fresh air... are interesting experiences that attract tourists when coming to Kem stream, La Bang commune, Dai Tu (Thai Nguyen).
Ms. Nguyen Thi Tho, a tourist from Hung Son town (Dai Tu) shared: At the end of the school year, some families and I organized for our children to visit Suoi Kem. I found this to be a very interesting experience, the children could see the green tea hills with their own eyes and bathe in the cool stream. These activities help children get closer to nature, gain more life skills and knowledge about agricultural production. In addition, the prices of services are reasonable, not expensive but the quality is quite good.
Mr. Tran Ngoc Phuc, one of the households providing food services here, shared: My family currently raises 4 sturgeon tanks with a volume of about 150 m3, with a scale of over 1,500 fish to process and serve tourists who come to visit.

Or in Thanh Hoa, on weekends, many families, tourists, young men and women, and photographers have come to the flower fields in Tao Xuyen ward, Thanh Hoa city, to admire the brilliant fields of daisies, butterflies, buckwheat, and canola flowers competing to show off their colors. Previously, people in Tao Xuyen ward specialized in growing canola to sell vegetables and get seeds. For nearly 10 years now, people have switched to business, charging visitors to come and take photos. The shift to business to welcome visitors to come and take photos helps farmers have a better income than growing crops.
Mr. Tao Quang Tuan, Street 2, Tao Xuyen Ward, said: For each person who comes here to take photos, the flower growers earn 40,000 VND, regardless of time. Visitors coming here, in addition to sightseeing and enjoying the fresh air, can also freely take photos as souvenirs. According to Mr. Tuan's calculations, with 6 sao of alluvial land, by sowing flowers to serve the needs of sightseeing and tourism, in the last 3 months of the year, his family will earn a profit of about 100 - 120 million VND, 3 - 4 times higher than growing to harvest consumer products.
