Lying on the link between the western and eastern parts of Quang Ninh, with convenient traffic, beautiful landscapes and rich culture, Tien Yen owns huge advantages to develop tourism especially cultural tourism. The district has taken its advantages to make differences in promoting the local tourism.
Ha Lau Market, restored in 2018, is taking place on Sundays and drawing more and more tourists to Tien Yen. Attending Ha Lau Market, tourists can enjoy vivid cultural activities, sing traditional songs and play folk games. They all make Ha Lau Market different from others.
Tien Yen is slower than other localities in Quang Ninh in building walking streets and cultural villages of ethnic minorities but its methods and products are quite different with its own distinctiveness. Tien Yen walking street is organized by making the most of its own cultural characteristics, therefore it is less urbanized and less commercialized, instead, it is ancient and filled with meaningful cultural, spiritual activities.
Tien Yen is building the Culture Village of Tay people in Dong Dinh Hamlet, Phong Du Commune and making plans for culture villages of Dao and San Chi peoples…These are precious “materials” for Tien Yen to further develop cultural tourism.
Along with other tourism advantages like Pac Sui waterfall eco-tourism site, Dong Rui mangrove forest, Long Vang cape, stop-overs along the national highway 18A…, the cultural tourism is believed to boost Tiên Yên’s tourism into a new height, contributing to its socio-economic development.
