DTO - If you feel suffocated by the air in big cities and need to find a peaceful, cool place to relax with your family on the weekend, The Mango Trail, a tourist farm in My Xuong tourist village, Cao Lanh district, is truly an interesting choice for tourists visiting Dong Thap. Although it has only recently opened to welcome guests, with the rustic and enthusiastic tourism style of the people of the river region, The Mango Trail has left many good feelings in the hearts of domestic and international tourists when they visit.

Regarding the opportunity to become involved in the garden tourism model, Ms. Ho Thi Thu Thuy - owner of The Mango Trail Farmstay, shared: “About 8 years ago, when I visited my husband's family's mango garden in My Xuong commune, I was really impressed and delighted with the charming scenery of this countryside. However, it was not until 2019, after officially taking over the mango garden from my husband's family, that I spent more time learning and getting to know the land and people here. In 2023, my husband and I boldly invested in building The Mango Trail Farmstay right in our family's mango garden to welcome tourists. Fortunately, after more than 5 months of opening, The Mango Trail Farmstay has welcomed many domestic and international tourists to visit, experience and stay in the locality."

Not staying in big cities for a weekend trip, Ms. Tran Thi Nhi Ha's family, residing in Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City, chose a 2-day and 2-night tour and vacation package at The Mango Trail Farmstay. Ms. Tran Thi Nhi Ha shared: “While surfing social networks, I was attracted by the stories that Ho Thi Thu Thuy - owner of The Mango Trail Farmstay told about the land and people in My Xuong, Cao Lanh district. After carefully researching the tourist destination as well as the land of My Xuong, my family came up with the idea of going to My Xuong once to explore this poetic land. And just as we expected, when visiting The Mango Trail Farmstay, we were welcomed like children far from home coming home to visit, to travel, but we were "not considered guests" but were considered by the host as relatives, my family members ate, stayed, harvested mangoes, and fed fish with the host... Everything was very rustic and sincere... The experiences we had in this land were interesting memories".

Ms. Tran Thi Nhi Ha's feelings are also the common feelings of many tourists when visiting The Mango Trail Farmstay. However, to be able to create good impressions and feelings of tourists for the Farmstay, it is the tireless efforts of the owner of The Mango Trail Farmstay. Ms. Ho Thi Thu Thuy confided: "Although doing tourism in a rustic, rural style, all services and experiences are carefully selected and taken care of in every small detail. In addition to accommodation and resort services at the family's mango garden, we also coordinate with a number of other local gardeners to form a mini tour to explore the "mango capital" My Xuong.

In this tour, visitors will experience cycling along mango roads, visit the Cat Chu To mango tree at Thu Ngoc Hau Temple - Nguyen Van Thu, experience the mango cultivation process, mango harvesting of the garden, the model "My Mango Tree", fish farming, snail farming... of the local people here. With the fresh air of the countryside, visitors will experience many delicious specialties made from mango and many fresh local products".

It can be seen that the exploitation of local resource values with a new perspective by Ms. Ho Thi Thu Thuy has contributed to the development of the local agricultural tourism model more strongly. From there, it contributes to creating community cohesion and increasing income for local people.

Regarding the orientation of developing the agricultural tourism model in the locality, comrade Nguyen Thi Thuy Trang - Party Secretary, Chairman of the People's Committee of My Xuong commune, Cao Lanh district, said: "In order to help mango farmers increase their income on the same area, in recent times, in addition to orienting mango farmers in a safe and sustainable direction, the locality has also encouraged people to develop the agricultural tourism model. Currently, My Xuong commune has 4 gardeners participating in the My Xuong Tourist Village model, opening their gardens to welcome tourists, including The Mango Trail Farmstay. Although the starting point of these 4 households is mango production, with separate products and services, the tourist attractions all create their own attraction for tourists from near and far. The agricultural tourism model has recently developed in the locality and has many positive signals. In order to create more attraction for tourists when visiting and experiencing My Xuong Tourist Village, the locality is closely coordinating with households to continue to promote quality of products and services, developing some new products, services, attractions...
