Due to historical reasons, the strength of Quang Tri tourism is spiritual tourism. Among the 498 relics in the whole province, Quang Tri has up to 431 historical war relics, including ancient citadels, cemeteries, tunnels, military airports, border relics... Quang Tri is the first locality to exploit the type of "nostalgia tourism", annually attracting hundreds of thousands of domestic and foreign visitors to visit the old battlefields, visit relatives and comrades.
Hien Luong - Ben Hai relic complex
One of the important spiritual tourist destinations in Quang Tri is the Truong Son National Martyrs' Cemetery, located on the upstream of the southern bank of the Ben Hai River, in Gio Linh District. Built in 1975, the cemetery has 10,263 martyrs' graves, of which 68 are unnamed. The cemetery is divided into 5 regional areas for the convenience of people from different provinces to visit their relatives and comrades.
The next destination in the spiritual journey to the land of fire is the Memorial Temple on the South bank of Thach Han River in Quang Tri town. The relic site in this section has been likened to a "quiet grave" because there is no tombstone. Under the river, thousands of people have fallen on the Quang Tri battlefield, most of them very young, especially during the extremely fierce 81-day and night campaign in the "red summer" of 1972. After the ceremony at the memorial temple, each person quietly steps down to the boat, releases a flower lantern with their wishes written on it, and blends into the sacred river, creating moving points of light on the water surface.
Located 22 km north of Dong Ha city center, the Hien Luong - Ben Hai National Special Monument is a historical witness to the pain of division between the North and South during the war. Visitors visit the border flagpole, the Aspiration for Unification monument, the 17th Parallel and Aspiration for Unification Exhibition House, the Hien Luong bridge with two colors of green and yellow painted on the iron wall, or the Hien Luong police station.
The cool feeling in the land of fire is when tourists set foot to explore the majestic natural landscapes. One of the tourist routes that Quang Tri is promoting is the western part of the province, towards the border district of Huong Hoa, with the wild beauty in Huong Phung commune, which is considered a "miniature Da Lat" thanks to its cool air all year round. From the center of Dong Ha city, follow the West branch of Ho Chi Minh road, the road through Huong Hoa district, to the farthest point, Ta Puong waterfall, 120 km long.
Ta Puong 2 Waterfall
On the way to the waterfall, visitors pass through Sa Mu Pass in Chenh Venh village. As its name suggests, the 19 km long pass gives visitors a feeling of being lost in the misty clouds. The place to stop to enter Ta Puong waterfall is at the beginning of Trang - Ta Puong village, a village of the Van Kieu ethnic people in Huong Viet commune. Walking on a small road along the stream under the rain of the tropical forest, the feeling is truly poetic. After about 20 minutes, visitors are suddenly surprised when a 17 m high waterfall appears before their eyes, pouring white columns of water into a lake of up to 5,000 m2 , charming with clear, emerald green water. This is Ta Puong 2 waterfall (the lower waterfall), with more water and more beautiful than the waterfall of the same name above.
On the way from Ta Puong waterfall back to Dong Ha, it suddenly started to rain, it was only 2 pm but the fog was covering the entire road. The driver said : "Our car is running on clouds!". On the road, herds of cows leisurely and calmly walked in front of the car, showing that this place still has few tourist footprints. Hopefully in the near future, this route will be better invested to attract domestic and foreign tourists to explore, experience, and create vitality for this fierce land of wartime.
