Quynh Nhai is crowded with tourists during the holidays

From early morning on the first day of the 30/1 and 1/5 holiday this year, Pa Uon boat station was bustling with groups of people coming along National Highway 279.

This island was put into operation by the Quynh Nhai Aquatic and Eco-tourism Cooperative for tourism purposes.
