Not only does it possess majestic nature, but Nghe An also captivates tourists with its cultural beauty, peaceful way of life, and unique exploration journeys.

From historic squares to tranquil natural rendezvous points.

Located in the heart of North Central Vietnam, Nghe An is the largest province in the country in terms of area, boasting diverse topography including coastal areas, plains, midlands, and mountainous regions. This blend of landscapes has created a wide variety of tourism options, ranging from cultural and historical tourism to eco-tourism and community-based experiences.

In the heart of Vinh, Ho Chi Minh Square has long been a cultural and historical symbol of Nghe An province. This spacious area, with its majestic statue of President Ho Chi Minh, is not only a venue for major events but also a familiar stop for locals and tourists alike.

The flag-raising ceremony and flying of the national flag took place at Ho Chi Minh Square ( Nghe An province ) on the morning of May 19, 2025, to commemorate the 135th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's birth.

Every afternoon, thousands of people flock to the square to stroll, exercise, or enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the city. Many tourists visiting Nghe An also choose this place as a starting point for their journey to learn more about the homeland of President Ho Chi Minh and a land rich in revolutionary traditions.

Leaving the city, the journey to explore Nghe An unfolds with vast and majestic natural landscapes. One of the most popular destinations is Thanh Chuong Tea Island – often referred to as the "Ha Long Bay on land" of Nghe An.

Sitting in a small boat, weaving through the lush green tea islands in the middle of the lake, visitors can easily feel the tranquility of nature. The rolling hills of tea plantations create a rare and picturesque landscape.

The fresh air, the faint aroma of tea, and the calm water make this place an attractive check-in spot for young people. Simply by raising their cameras, visitors can capture picturesque moments amidst the endless green of the tea hills.

Besides its tea hills, Nghe An also boasts many eco-tourism destinations that are increasingly attracting visitors. Hon Mat tourist area is a popular choice for many families on weekend getaways.

The highlight of the tourist area is the vibrant flower gardens and pet enclosure, creating a suitable play space for both young children and young people who enjoy taking photos.

Meanwhile, the Muong Thanh Dien Lam Eco-tourism Area has also been attracting a large number of tourists in recent years. This is a resort complex combining recreation and entertainment with a variety of services.

Besides the water park, resort, and amusement areas, the area also features a semi-wild zoo with many rare animals such as elephants, tigers, lions, giraffes, and rhinos. This makes Muong Thanh Dien Lam a suitable destination for families with young children on weekends or short holidays.

Unlike many bustling tourist centers, Nghe An captivates visitors with its rustic and genuine beauty. The peaceful countryside, the sprawling green fields, and the slow pace of life of the local people create a unique and unforgettable charm for tourism in Nghe An.

Sustainable tourism, exploration, and experiences.

While coastal areas and eco-tourism zones offer a sense of relaxation, western Nghe An attracts visitors with the pristine beauty of its mountains and forests and the unique cultural identity of the highlands.

One of the standout destinations is Muong Long – often referred to as the "Sa Pa of Nghe An province". Situated at an altitude of approximately 1,500 meters above sea level, Muong Long enjoys a cool climate year-round and boasts majestic natural scenery.

Visiting Muong Long, tourists not only admire the scenery but also have the opportunity to learn about the life, customs, and culture of the highland people. Homestay models, community experiences, and cultural exchanges are gradually becoming attractive tourism products of western Nghe An.

Many tourists enjoy participating in activities such as gardening, harvesting rice, dancing the bamboo pole dance, sampling local cuisine, and interacting with the local people.

Also located in western Nghe An province, Puxailaileng is becoming a popular destination for many people to explore in recent years.

At an altitude of approximately 2,720m, Puxailaileng is considered the "roof of the Northern Truong Son Mountains". The journey to conquer the summit is challenging but offers a memorable experience for trekking enthusiasts.

From the old city of Vinh, tourists have to travel a long distance along National Highway 7A to Na Ngoi commune and then continue to Buoc Mu Border Guard Station. From here, the real exploration begins with winding roads, many steep sections, and landslides caused by heavy rains.

The higher you go, the more magnificent the natural scenery becomes. The vast expanse of white clouds floating amidst the mountains and forests gives many people the feeling of stepping into a fairyland.

After traversing ancient pine forests covered in moss and crossing milestone 422 on the Vietnam-Laos border, visitors will reach the summit of Puxailaileng. The moment of touching the "roof of Northern Truong Son" brings a feeling of excitement and pride to anyone who has experienced it.

Along with this is the orientation towards developing green tourism, community tourism, and preserving traditional cultural identity.

Many solutions, such as reducing plastic waste on beaches, building a "waste-free beach" model, or connecting ecotourism routes with Pu Mat National Park, are being implemented to promote sustainable development.

Not overly flashy or bustling, Nghe An attracts tourists with the genuine beauty of its nature and people. From the blue sea, tea hills, and high mountains to the remote border villages, each journey in Nghe An offers unique experiences, helping visitors better appreciate the simple yet captivating beauty of this land rich in cultural identity.
