In this blog post, we’ll take you on a journey through the hidden gems of Hanoi’s countryside, where ancient traditions meet sustainable growth, and where the beauty of nature and the warmth of local hospitality blend seamlessly.

Discovering Hanoi’s Rural Treasures:
Hanoi’s countryside is a treasure trove of cultural experiences and scenic landscapes. With 11 ecological agricultural farms and 4 agricultural cooperatives offering educational and experiential tourism, you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in authentic farming activities and learn about traditional agricultural practices.

Must-Visit Tourist Sites:
Among the must-visit tourist sites are Duong Lam Ancient Village, an enchanting hamlet where time seems to stand still, Bat Trang Pottery Village, a haven for pottery enthusiasts, and Phu Dong Paper Flower Village, where you can witness the artistry of creating delicate paper flowers. These places offer a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of Hanoi and provide unique opportunities for cultural exchanges with friendly locals.

Sustainable Growth and Recognition:

Hanoi’s commitment to sustainable growth in rural tourism is evident through its recognition of OCOP (One Commune One Product) products. Already, two products have been rated 4 stars in the categories of community-based tourism services, eco-tourism, and tourist sites. Additionally, 7 tourist sites in suburban areas, associated with agriculture, rural life, craft villages, and ecological tourism, have been officially recognized.

Embracing the Future:
To capitalize on the strengths and potentials of each area, Hanoi actively encourages the development of novel and unique products based on local strengths. The focus is on community-based tourism, eco-tourism, and traditional crafts. By fostering partnerships with farmers, cooperatives, households, and enterprises, Hanoi seeks to create agricultural and rural tourism linkage chains that empower local communities and ensure sustainable practices.

Setting Ambitious Goals:
Hanoi has set ambitious goals for the growth of agricultural and rural tourism products. By 2025, each district and town with potential for development is targeted to present at least 1 to 3 products of “Community tourism services and tourist attractions.” The city aims to have at least 50% of these products protected by intellectual property rights and recognized by OCOP with 3 stars or higher standards.
