Promoting Tay cultural identity in Tuyen Quang

Tuyen Quang attracts visitors not only with its majestic natural landscapes, but also with the rich cultural traditions of its ethnic minorities. The soulful melodies of Then songs and folk tunes are unique artistic expressions of the Tay people. Local authorities have been developing community-based tourism to preserve traditional cultural identity, while creating a sustainable development path for the province.
