Medicinal herb tourism at the top of Heaven's Gate

In the middle of the vast forest behind the Heaven's Gate slope in An Toan commune (An Lao district, Binh Dinh), in recent years it has been likened to a miniature Da Lat.

From the idea of ​​a group of young people, a new vitality was born in the land behind Heaven's Gate.

The wild, silvery mountain scenery is always covered in white clouds, making it even more charming and captivating to visitors from all over.

Currently, in this remote area, there is a special cooperative established by a group of young people from many different rural areas - the Safe Medicinal Herbs Cooperative. By restoring and enhancing the value of precious agricultural products and medicinal herbs of the indigenous people, the group of young people has gradually turned the barren land into a "gold mine" in the medicinal herb tourism industry.

Medicinal herbs are harvested and classified before being put into closed production lines.

In 2021, a group of young people went to An Toan highlands to implement the idea of ​​a medicinal herb cooperative combined with developing indigenous tourism.

Many indigenous medicinal herbs are processed into products serving the medical industry and green tourism business.

Up to now, An Toan Medicinal Herbs Cooperative has created 9 OCOP products and connected and supported about 20 Bana ethnic households to participate in the project.

A group of young people opened a homestay model in the middle of a medicinal herb production area.
