Binh Lieu has become a new destination for tourists in recent years thanks toits primitive beauty.

Although the locality is endowed with a charming beauty all year-round, thedistrict particularly strikes visitors when fall transitions to winter. Fromthe glossy yellow hues of staircase rice fields to the magnificent mountainlandscape and natural waterfalls, the area visually amazes at every turn.

More than 90% of locals in the mountainous district are ethnic minorities suchas Tay, San Chi and Dao. The area is also home to special cultural festivitiessuch as the Soong Co and San Co folk song singing festivals and Luc Nafestival./.
