According to the People's Committee of Trung Khanh district, immediately after being selected as heritage sites within the province's eastern experiential tourism route, the district intensified its efforts in disseminating information and educating local officials and residents about the value of geological, cultural, and biodiversity heritage in socio-economic development.
Currently, the district has 8 heritage sites located within the "Experience Traditional Cultures in a Wonderland" tourism route, including: Thoong Got Landscape Heritage Site (site number 37); Chestnut Garden (site number 38); Nung Horse Homestay (site number 39); Waterwheel (site number 40); Khuoi Ky Stone Village (site number 41); Geopark Information Center (site number 42); Nguom Ngao Cave (site number 43); Ban Gioc Waterfall (site number 44).
The district's website regularly publishes information related to tourism activities as well as the importance and significance of developing community tourism... The local broadcasting system in villages and communes promotes awareness of the UNESCO Non Nuoc Cao Bang Global Geopark.
As a locality where ethnic minorities account for 95% of the district's population, each ethnic group has its own history of development, language, economic activities, and unique cultural characteristics, creating a diverse and rich cultural landscape. Therefore, preserving traditional culture is always a priority for the locality, implemented in many forms. According to Ms. Chu Thi Vinh, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Trung Khanh District, the management and construction of infrastructure at heritage sites in the district are being actively carried out. However, due to low investment in infrastructure at tourism sites within the Geopark and community tourism models, tourism products are still small-scale, fragmented, and spontaneous, so attracting investment has not been very effective. In the future, the district will continue to promote the implementation of community tourism models and the established rest stops to effectively operate the heritage sites.
The "Experience Local Culture in a Fairytale Land" tour to the East will truly be a highlight for visitors. Besides the unique mature and ancient kart landscapes and famous tourist attractions, visitors will have the opportunity to visit traditional craft villages such as: Phuc Sen blacksmith village, Khuoi Ky stone carving village, Phja Thap incense village, Cap Tao and Phi Hai rice cake villages, along with dozens of folk festivals such as: Quang Uyen fireworks, Nang Hai Phuc Hoa festival, and the traditional long tong festival of the Tay, Nung, Dao, and San Chi people...
Khuoi Ky Stone Village is one of the interesting destinations for tourists to experience local culture.
Home primarily to the Tay and Nung ethnic groups, Trung Khanh is also known for its distinctive folk songs such as: Then singing - Tinh lute playing, Then dance, Sluong dance, Coi dance, Nang Oi dance, Phong Slư dance, Put Lan dance, Xa Xa dance, Da Hai dance, Ha Leu dance, Sli Giang dance... These are invaluable cultural assets, containing valuable traditional cultural values of the people. In particular, visitors can enjoy unique dishes with the distinctive flavors of the highlands such as: pork marinated in sour rice flour, smoked sausage, grilled meat, spring rolls, roast duck, roasted suckling pig stuffed with golden mac mat leaves, five-colored sticky rice... Or dishes skillfully combining the rich and unique ingredients of the mountains and forests such as stir-fried ground bees with bamboo shoots, sour fish hotpot, black olive sticky rice, and stir-fried Tau Quay moss.
The simple, peaceful life, nestled amidst the sky, clouds, mountains, and water, will make visitors want to fully enjoy the feeling of relaxation and immerse themselves in the rare moments of tranquility in this "fairyland."
