Many new experiences

Sitting in a thatched hut in Dong Man eco-tourism area, Thanh Khe commune (Thanh Ha), with each breeze blowing in from the river, Ms. Tran Thi Hien from Ha Long city (Quang Ninh) and a group of tourists sipped lotus tea... "I have been here twice but this experience is completely different. It is still the lychee countryside, in addition to delicious lychees, I can also enjoy lotus tea right in the garden, it feels so relaxing", Ms. Hien said.

Lotus tea is the new product of this summer at Dong Man eco-tourism area. Lotus flowers are grown right in the garden and are made by farmers themselves, and are served to visitors for free. With free entrance tickets, newly designed check-in points, and boating services on the river, Dong Man eco-tourism area is still an attractive destination for weekends, even though lychees are not plentiful this year.

Summer is also the time when many groups of students come to Nam Vu Farm in Lien Mac Commune (Thanh Ha) to experience. Here, they learn about 50 typical fruits from the North to the South, make traps, catch loach, fish, take pictures with many types of flowers, miniature landscapes, etc. "After visiting and experiencing, we have dinner right at the farm. I really like the country dishes", Vu Ngoc Tuong Lam in Quang Trung Ward (Hai Duong City) shared.

Stimulating tourism

In the summer, tourist attractions associated with rivers and experiential activities often attract the most visitors. Some historical sites such as Mao Dien Temple of Literature (Cam Giang), Chu Van An Temple (Chi Linh City), Mac Dinh Chi Temple (Nam Sach) also have a high number of students coming to them.

To attract tourists in the summer, destinations are renewing their services, bringing unique experiences. With that mindset, Ms. Pham Thi Liem in Dong Man eco-tourism area or Mr. Duong Van Nam in Nam Vu Farm have researched and processed products such as lotus tea and guava bud tea. "Taking advantage of lotus right in the garden, I buy premium tea, infused in each flower that blooms just enough in the early morning. After 48 hours, I cut each flower, wrap it in another layer of lotus leaves and freeze it for later use," Ms. Liem shared.

Duong Van Nam said that by chance, his cousins ​​told him about a traditional medicine doctor prescribing medicine to treat hyperlipidemia, including boiling guava leaves to drink. “After a period of use, my cousin’s blood lipid index returned to normal. With guava buds and young leaves in the garden, I thought I should make guava bud tea to serve tourists,” Nam said.

In particular, the meal with country dishes of Nam Vu Farm serves tourists also gives them the opportunity to immerse themselves in the life and culture of the local people. These are the new, unique features that attract tourists to summer tourist destinations in Hai Duong.
