According to the announcement of Tu San Agricultural and Tourism Service Cooperative (Ha Giang), this unit has temporarily stopped transporting tourists to visit Tu San alley by tourist boat on Nho Que 1 river, the path through Nho Que 1 Hydropower Plant, since September 16.
This is currently the only unit providing the service of experiencing Nho Que hydroelectric reservoir, so this means that tourists coming to Ha Giang these days will not have the opportunity to experience the famous Tu San alley, one of the symbols of Ha Giang destination for a long time.
Boating on Nho Que River is considered an experience worth trying when coming to Ha Giang.
The reason for the temporary suspension of the service was due to the lack of agreement on a (temporary) management plan for inland waterway transport activities serving tourists in the Nho Que hydropower reservoir between the People's Committee of Meo Vac district, Tu San Cooperative and Nho Que 1 Hydropower Joint Stock Company.
In addition, the above units have not signed or renewed passenger transport contracts. The operating unit informs tourists to have a suitable travel schedule. Nho Que 1 Hydropower Reservoir is the only area for tourists to visit Tu San Alley by tourist boat.
Currently, the management and exploitation of Tu San Alley tourist site involves three parties including Meo Vac District People's Committee, Tu San Agricultural and Tourism Service Cooperative and Nho Que 1 Hydropower Joint Stock Company.
The passenger transport contract between Tu San Agricultural and Tourism Service Cooperative and Nho Que 1 Hydropower Joint Stock Company expired on September 15 and at the time of the announcement (September 15), the two sides had not yet found a better solution to extend the contract. Therefore, the Cooperative decided to temporarily stop operating tourist boats on Nho Que River, taking visitors to Tu San Alley.
A representative of the Ha Giang Province Tourism Association said that after the document of the Tu San Agricultural and Tourism Service Cooperative, the association also discussed and encouraged the Cooperative to have a flexible plan, minimizing the impact of travel companies bringing tourists as well as hindering individual tourists who want to visit this check-in point. However, as of September 17, tourists still cannot visit Tu San Alley by tourist boat on Nho Que River.
Tu San Alley, Nho Que River and Ma Pi Leng Pass are a combination of three beautiful landscapes in Meo Vac district, Ha Giang that tourists cannot miss when coming to Ha Giang.
Known as the deepest canyon in Southeast Asia, Tu San canyon has a cliff height of up to 800m, is 1.7km long and nearly 1km deep, and is a unique wonder of the Dong Van stone plateau. This canyon is the product of miraculous tectonic activity millions of years ago, when this place was still submerged in the vast ocean. During the process of changing the earth's crust, the water receded and eroded, leaving behind this unique geological heritage to this day.
