Yen Duc is an ancient land located on the banks of the Da Vach and Da Bac rivers. Archaeological excavations in the Thien Long Uyen area have found many wooden stakes, which are traces of Dong Son culture architecture dating back more than 2,000 years. Researchers believe that this was also the headquarters of the Tran kings in the war against the Yuan-Mongol invaders in 1288. And later, Yen Duc was also a revolutionary land with many traces remaining in the two resistance wars against the French and the Americans of our nation.

Through the ups and downs of history, time, land and people here still preserve the slow, simple pace of life and the landscape imbued with the beauty of the Northern countryside with rice fields, lotus ponds, red tiled roofs, village pagodas and small roads. Also from the value and unique beauty of that culture and landscape, the Yen Duc Countryside Tourism model has been invested in and developed by businesses in the two main villages of Yen Khanh and Don Son of Yen Duc since 2011.

This is a pioneering community tourism model in Quang Ninh , currently managed by Yen Duc Tourism Company Limited (Sen A Dong Tourism Corporation). The model is connected to the tourism ecosystem of Sen A Dong in Quang Ninh, initially mainly welcoming international visitors, later expanding to welcome a variety of domestic and foreign visitors.

The beauty of Vietnamese countryside scenery, historical values, and traditional occupations of the local people have come to visitors from all over the world through tourism. Visitors can stay in tiled-roof houses surrounded by vast rice fields, looking up and touching the straight areca trees in the sun. Ponds with pink lotus flowers, purple water lilies are simply beautiful, and lush green elephant ear bushes growing crowded in the corners of the ponds exude a rustic, rustic feel.

Besides enjoying the scenery, tourists can also take a tram or cycle around the village to visit relics associated with the history of the land and people here; wade into the pond to catch fish or plant rice, mill rice, pound rice, weave straw brooms... to experience the daily life of farmers in the rice fields.

More bustling, tourists visit the water puppetry experience point to see Mr. Teu, a farmer couple plowing and raising livestock together... The image of simple water puppets through the talented hands of the local people becomes lively and vivid, allowing tourists to feel the quintessence of traditional folk art associated with the long-standing rice civilization of the Vietnamese people.

Watching water puppets, listening to Cheo and Quan Ho singing in the middle of a village pond, in a thatched roof is a special feeling, especially for foreign visitors. The cuisine here also has a strong rural flavor with local ingredients, delicately prepared to bring visitors a unique and unforgettable taste.

Becoming a community tourism village is not only an investment of businesses but also every local resident has the awareness to preserve and join hands to build a green, clean, and beautiful environment for tourists and for the life of each family. Anyone who comes here is easily impressed by the peaceful scenery, clean, spacious roads, shaded by rows of trees...
