Developing cultural tourism in Dien Bien province

The cultural richness and diversity of the 19 ethnic communities in Dien Bien province is a valuable asset of the locality in particular and the country in general. This is also an important factor in attracting tourists from near and far to Dien Bien.

In the centre of Tua Chua town in Tua Chua district, every Saturday night is the time for the night market, imbued with the cultural colours of the highlands. Visitors will be able to see and enjoy the beautiful features of the lives of the Mong ethnic people, such as their culinary culture, panpipe dances, and local agricultural products.

Recreating a highlands cultural space is common during festivals in Dien Bien province. These include typical images of the ethnic communities of Mong, Thai, Ha Nhi, Kho Mu, and Laos, from traditional houses, costumes, and crafts to dishes and folk games. These have attracted the attention of many tourists from near and far.

The 19 local ethnic groups possess diverse cultural treasures. This is considered a valuable resource for Dien Bien to develop cultural tourism. Many localities in the province have paid attention to this, gradually turning cultural and historical tourism into a key economic sector.

Along with visiting and experiencing relic sites associated with the world-famous Dien Bien Phu military campaign, immersing yourself in the unique cultural space of local ethnic groups certainly offers unique and unforgettable impressions when visiting the heroic land of Dien Bien Phu./.
