Báo Lao Động•22/10/2024
Around October - November, Binh Lieu (Quang Ninh) attracts a large number of tourists to see the endless reed fields and experience the unique culture.
Binh Lieu is a small mountainous district located in the northeast of Quang Ninh province, nearly 300km from the center of Hanoi. With a temperate climate, diverse terrain and endless fields of reed grass, Binh Lieu is considered a paradise on earth.

If we have more time, we will stay for 2 days, if we have less time, we will go back in a day because it only takes about 2 hours to drive from Ha Long to Binh Lieu. Tourism in Binh Lieu has its own beauty all year round, but October and November will be the most crowded thanks to the beauty of the “reed paradise” and the Binh Lieu Golden Season Festival,” the male tourist shared.

Binh Lieu's cuisine is also very rich and high-quality with local specialty cakes, local chicken, black-starred duck, and meat...,” said a male tourist.

However, visitors should call to book rooms as well as carefully read online reviews to avoid situations where services and facilities are not as expected... Photo: NVCC Having traveled to Binh Lieu many times, Mr. Canh suggests that tourists can refer to the homestay in Luc Hon village: "When my family comes to Binh Lieu, they often choose the homestay in Luc Hon village of a Tay ethnic family. The host cooks very well, and in the evening, there is also a campfire activity and eating corn and sweet potatoes grown by the grandparents."

Although the roads are easy to travel and most of them are beautiful, they should not be traveled in the afternoon and late at night. If it is the first time, tourists should spend 2-3 days in Binh Lieu to experience it. "Binh Lieu will still be my family's favorite destination in the future. In the near future, my family will experience the Cao Ly mountain camping service to hunt for sunsets and starry skies here," he excitedly shared. Photo: NVCC
