Quang Ninh is one of the bright spots thanks to its diverse marine and forest ecosystems, clean environment, rare hot mineral springs, unique cultural heritage values, and an increasingly synchronous tourism and medical service system. This is an important foundation for the province to strongly develop health care tourism products such as mineral baths, spa therapy, yoga, meditation, relaxation, sports, etc., contributing to positioning Quang Ninh on the high-quality tourism map.
Exploiting natural advantages, forming a health care ecosystem
Over the years, Tung Lam Development Joint Stock Company has invested in infrastructure at Yen Tu scenic relic site, focusing on preserving and promoting cultural values and developing sustainable tourism products. In particular, since 2018, the Company has invested and put into operation the Truc Lam Yen Tu Cultural Center, recreating the ancient space - Tran Dynasty, 13th century, carrying "Vietnamese soul, Tran features" with Zen spirit. Standing out in the complex is the Legacy Yen Tu - MGallery resort, a 5-star resort considered the top destination for comprehensive health care journeys in the North, where visitors seek relaxation and peace in the mountains and forests.
In Truc Lam Yen Tu Cultural Center, health care services are diversified, with Lang Nuong, Tho Quang and Thien Quang restaurant areas, Tue Tinh Am health care center... In which, Tue Tinh Am offers visitors a variety of health care experiences, such as: Daily mind-nourishing program through meditation activities (Himalayan salt stone meditation, bell meditation, deep meditation...). In addition, there are also therapies such as: Cleansing bath, herbal therapy, herbal bath, steam bath, hydrotherapy, yoga... to help circulate blood, improve sleep, and regenerate energy. An afternoon tea on the mountain, enjoying light dishes here also becomes an experience that helps visitors connect more deeply with nature and the spiritual values of the land.
Impressed by his experience at Yen Tu, Mr. Anoop Kesharwani, an Indian tourist, shared: I have experienced health care services in many countries, but at Yen Tu, I really feel the difference. Not only the spa therapies, yoga or meditation, but also the fresh air, peaceful natural scenery and deep spiritual culture here. The moments of meditation, sitting and enjoying tea next to the sacred mountain range help me feel my body restored, my mind calmer. I consider this a true healing journey.
Quang Ninh also owns a hot mineral spring (Quang Hanh ward), a rare therapeutic resource. Yoko Onsen Quang Hanh, invested by Sun Group , is the first Japanese-style hot mineral spring resort model in Quang Ninh, which has been in operation since 2020, creating a highlight in the health care tourism segment. Not only is it one of the mineral springs with the highest mineralized hot bromine content in the world, Yoko Onsen Quang Hanh also impresses with its open space with ancient Japanese architecture and a luxurious resort complex, meeting all the elements for an ideal health care trip for visitors.
At Yoko Onsen Quang Hanh, visitors can experience Onsen mineral bath services for relaxation and treatment, including indoor and outdoor baths; diverse spa and massage treatments with more than 25 treatment rooms; meals are also carefully prepared with selected ingredients... These services help visitors relax, relieve all fatigue and stress, and receive effective care and health recovery.
Many hotels and resorts in Quang Ninh have proactively turned wellness tourism into a service to enhance the experience for tourists. From September 19-21, 2025, FLC Ha Long Hotel organized the "World Wellness Weekend" 2025 for hotel staff and resort guests. In the green, fresh space of the resort complex overlooking the wonder of Ha Long Bay, guests and staff will participate in a series of useful activities: Jogging, Zumba Dance, Yoga, Taichi, swimming... These activities not only improve endurance, improve health, bring a refreshing spirit but also contribute to raising awareness of comprehensive health, encouraging a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
In mountainous areas such as Yen Tu ward, Ky Thuong commune, Hoanh Mo commune, etc., traditional methods of the Dao people such as herbal baths, herbal foot baths or steam baths have been developed into typical tourist services. In the cold weather of autumn and winter, these traditional herbal baths, foot baths or steam baths bring visitors a feeling of warmth and relaxation. This is the direction to help Quang Ninh expand its product ecosystem, create more choices for tourists, and at the same time preserve and spread indigenous cultural values.
Recently, Quang Ninh has also strongly developed sports and health tourism products through large-scale running competitions. Typically, the "Halong Bay Heritage Marathon" (November 22-23, 2025) attracted the participation of more than 14,000 professional and amateur athletes from provinces and cities across the country and internationally, including more than 3,000 international athletes from nearly 60 countries and territories. The race has a unique experience space when the running route is arranged along the coast, through roads overlooking Ha Long Bay - a World Natural Heritage.
The "Yen Tu Heritage - Touching the Heritage Area" race (November 16, 2025) attracted more than 3,000 professional and amateur athletes from many provinces and cities across the country, along with international athletes from many countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, India, the Philippines, South Africa, China, Japan, Korea, etc. "Yen Tu Heritage - Touching the Heritage Area" brings athletes the challenge of conquering mountains and forests and ancient trail systems, combining physical exercise with the feeling of finding peace in the land of Truc Lam Buddhism. This year, the province also coordinated to organize the Ha Long 2025 biathlon (Aqua Warriors Ha Long 2025); Aqua Warriors Van Don 2025... Not only a sports playground, these races also contribute to bringing tourists to Quang Ninh, extending their stay and opening up experiences related to relaxation, cuisine, and culture.
