I have never been on a tourist train connecting Hanoi with Thai Nguyen. But, the very passionate introduction from the female tour guide of the Thai Nguyen Province Tourism Investment Promotion Center, I really wanted to sit on that train to go to the land by the Cau River. The introduction was like a heart-felt, urging, inviting invitation that was hard to refuse. According to the people's reflection, currently in some villages of Ba Che district (Quang Ninh), there is still a state of "low" mobile signal.

The female tour guide excitedly said: It is expected that this April, the locality will open a tourist train route connecting Hanoi with Thai Nguyen. On that train, tourists will be introduced to the land, people and products of the land along the Cau River. For those who are passionate about tea, this is an ideal condition.
I exclaimed: Great. Economy linked to tourism and tourism linked to economy will be killing two birds with one stone. Once these two factors are harmoniously combined, it will be wonderful, both making money and ensuring the environment meets the criteria. Isn’t that killing two birds with one stone?
When asked, it was learned that this tourist railway line is about 80km long, and will start on December 28, 2024; stopping at 4 main points: Pho Yen Station, Luu Xa, Thai Nguyen and Quan Trieu, with a travel time of nearly 2 hours. And, the initiative was initiated by people working in tourism in Thai Nguyen province in coordination with Vietnam Railways Corporation.
When put into operation, the tourist railway connecting Hanoi with Thai Nguyen will bring significant convenience; connect major tourist destinations, creating momentum to promote the province's socio-economic development to new heights.
This idea is truly creative and interesting. Perhaps, Thai Nguyen wants to invite friends from all over the world in a unique way, starting from tourism; from the gentleness and smoothness of the “smokeless economy” industry? Who knows, from that tourist train, in the lingering aftertaste of “The First Famous Tea”, in the lingering aroma of tea ceremony… they will join hands to sign cooperation agreements to develop potential projects. It is also possible that from the love, infatuation, infatuation, and fondness for the famous products of the land along the Cau River, through the smooth and thoughtful introduction of the mountain girls of this land, they will choose destinations for projects with far-reaching and broad visions. It is very possible.
Just imagine. A province that is oriented to develop into a center of the Northern mountainous region like Thai Nguyen, it is not natural that nature has given it many advantages to reap such success.
If iron and steel create vitality for a land along the Cau River; then tea - a drink that attracts tourists from all over the world, has entered poetry, songs, music, paintings, and become a timeless idiom "Thai tea, Tuyen girls". Since the largest metallurgical plant in the country was built in the 1960s, until now, it has increasingly affirmed itself as an important heavy industry of the country. Thai Nguyen iron and steel is now present in construction projects, building the country; present on ships crossing the sea to friends in the five continents, contributing significantly to the country's annual GDP.
Along with cast iron and steel, tea trees in Thai Nguyen are increasingly gaining a solid position with the brand name “First Famous Tea”. In terms of area and output, tea trees here are at the top of the list. With more than 22,500 hectares, tea trees are bringing in an annual value of about 1 billion USD. In the risky agricultural sector, that is a huge value. Tea trees and Thai Nguyen tea products are present anytime, anywhere in this bustling, bustling city on the Cau River. Tea products in Thai Nguyen are becoming luxury drinks, present in many demanding markets.
For a long time, the presence of Samsung Group in Thai Nguyen has made great contributions and strongly impacted the development orientation of the province's modern industry.
Up to now, Thai Nguyen has had 313 investment projects in industrial parks in the area; of which, there are 175 FDI projects with registered capital of 11.33 billion USD and 138 DDI projects with registered capital of 22,365 trillion VND. And then, what will come will come. In just 3 years, Thai Nguyen's PCI Index has increased continuously, from 28th place (in 2021) to 23rd place (in 2023). Thai Nguyen's investment attraction is strongly demonstrated with FDI capital gradually shifting and Thai Nguyen is affirming itself as an attractive destination attracting a "wave" of investment shifting.
But that’s not all. Thai Nguyen still has a lot of potential. Perhaps that’s why the invitation from that land is still as passionate and attractive as the gentle voice of the female tour guide of the Thai Nguyen Province Tourism Investment Promotion Center throughout the journey; like the rich, subtle introduction of many mountain girls in the Tan Cuong tea region… that we heard during the field trip. It was really hard to refuse.
What is known and said above is clear. In the current period, Thai Nguyen is orienting its strong economic development towards exploiting potential and advantages to “fill up” industrial parks and industrial clusters to gradually form a growth pole, a satellite of the capital.
As for the orientation to attract tourists, it will focus on 4 directions. These are spiritual tourism associated with temples and pagodas; cave exploration tourism, eco-resort tourism associated with community tourism spots of local people; cave exploration tourism and agricultural tourism associated with tea.
For example, there are currently two golf course projects about to be put into operation, associated with tourist attractions in Thai Nguyen. The Tan Thai Golf Course Sports Complex project in Tan Thai Commune, Dai Tu District (Thai Nguyen) located in the National Key Tourist Area of Nui Coc Lake, implemented by Tan Thai Golf Joint Stock Company with an area of 84.2 hectares, consuming a total investment of 586 billion VND... is an example.
When we returned to Thai Nguyen, we had already enjoyed 3 out of 4 of those areas, only cave exploration tourism was not yet available. But a feeling from visitors from afar is that Thai Nguyen people are very sincere, hospitable and thoughtful. Is that the reason to add another feeling that Thai Nguyen does tourism so easily, and has achieved success so quickly? Not to mention far away. Also an artificial freshwater lake, but tourism in Ke Go Lake (Ha Tinh), Cau Cau Dam (Thanh Chuong, Nghe An) ... and many other lakes and dams with prime locations ... are still too modest, if not primitive. Meanwhile, Nui Coc Lake is very bustling. The tour to explore Nui Coc Lake by boat is a highlight when returning to Thai Nguyen.
One day in Thai Nguyen, it is impossible to feel, see and receive all the quintessence of the land and people in this land. I promise myself, I will return to Thai Nguyen soon, as long as the people and the land by the Cau River are still as enthusiastic, hospitable and inviting as ever.
