Ha Nam becomes Asia’s leading emerging tourism destination

Situated about 65km south of Ha Noi, Ha Nam serves as a gateway province with immense potential for spiritual, cultural, ecological, and culinary tourism. This province boasts a rich history and culture, featuring nearly 2,000 relics, including special national relics, national treasures, and numerous traditional festivals and craft villages. Along with that is a system of famous rivers, mountains, and caves such as: Tam Chuc Lake, Ba Hang Lake, Doi Mountain - Chau River and Cam Mountain - Ngu Dong Son are attractive destinations for domestic and foreign tourists.

This year, Ha Nam triumphed over notable contenders like Okinawa (Japan), Phnom Penh (Cambodia) and Sumba Island (Indonesia) to achieve the title of "Asia's Leading Emerging Tourism Destination" granted by World Travel Awards which have been described as the "Oscars of the travel industry." The results are based on votes cast by travel industry professionals and the public.

 Tam Chuc Pagoda

The must-see attraction of Ha Nam is the Tam Chuc Spiritual Scenic Complex, home to one of the world's largest pagodas. This area, spanning 5,100 hectares, boasts stunning natural beauty and a serene atmosphere, drawing numerous visitors annually. With its pristine landscapes and majestic limestone mountains, the Tam Chuc national tourist area is a part of the significant heritage site connecting Huong Pagoda, Tam Chuc Pagoda, and Bai Dinh Pagoda. In 2019, Tam Chuc Pagoda hosted the 16th United Nations Day of Vesak Celebrations, attracting millions of Buddhist followers and tourists from around the globe.

Another notable site is Dia Tang Phi Lai Pagoda at Ninh Trung village. This nearly 1,000-year-old pagoda, recently restored, was built in a feng shui position with its back against the mountain, hidden in the middle of a green pine forest, with a large field in front, almost completely separate from the residential area. The beautiful architecture in the peaceful scenery of the mountains and forests makes the pagoda exude an elegant, otherworldly beauty that anyone who has the opportunity to come here can feel.
