Nestled along more than 30km of the Vietnam-China border, Hoanh Mo is emerging as a vibrant new destination where untouched landscapes, rich ethnic culture, and cross-border adventures come together.

The Khe Tien hamlet, along with many other villages and streams in Hoanh Mo commune, holds significant potential for developing diverse and distinctive forms of tourism.

 From majestic peaks like Cao Ly and Cao Ba Lanh which are perfect for trekking, camping, and cloud-hunting to Khe Tien waterfall, bamboo forests, terraced fields, and fragrant cinnamon groves, Hoanh Mô is a paradise for eco-tourism lovers.

Its Dao Thanh Phan villages preserve traditional wooden houses, colorful festivals, unique crafts, and authentic highland cuisine, offering visitors a genuine community-based experience.

The opening of the Hoanh Mo-Dong Trung border gate has unlocked exciting opportunities for cross-border tours, cultural exchanges, and bustling border markets.

Specialized routes like the border heritage trail and eco-cultural path invite travelers to explore both nature and history, from milestone 1305 to flower gardens, waterfalls, and traditional villages.

Border tourism, combined with the development of a variety of distinctive travel products, is expected to be a key driver in attracting visitors to Hoanh Mo.

 Adventure seekers can conquer challenging treks, while those seeking relaxation can enjoy scenic homestays and fresh local delicacies such as black duck, hill chicken, and herbal vegetables. Seasonal agricultural experiences like harvesting star anise or riceconnect visitors with the land, while future wind farm projects promise unique photo spots and a step toward green tourism.

With its perfect blend of breathtaking nature, living heritage, and cross-border charm, Hoanh Mo is ready to welcome travelers looking for experiences that are authentic, diverse, and unforgettable.
