For people in mountainous districts, far from the sea, nature has blessed them with many streams and creeks to soothe the heat and stuffiness of summer days.

Therefore, tourist attractions near streams in the West such as Pha Lai, Khe Kem waterfall (Con Cuong), Khe Co, Khe Kien, Dooc Bua (Tuong Duong), 7-storey waterfall, Sao Va waterfall (Que Phong), Khe To (Nghia Dan), Liep waterfall (Thanh Chuong) ... these days also welcome a large number of visitors.

According to Ms. Vi Thi Tham - Director of Pha Lai Eco-tourism Area (Con Cuong), on hot days, the number of tourists coming to experience the services increases, especially on weekends.

With the 7-storey waterfall complex in Que Phong district, although far from the district center, it is still quite bustling. There are groups of tourists coming from Kim Son town (Que Phong), even tourists from Quy Chau district also come here to "cool off". "Hot and stuffy, there is no other way than to find waterfalls, streams, and streams to immerse yourself in the cool water. That is the reason why my friends and I traveled dozens of kilometers to the 7-storey waterfall", said Mr. Luu Phi Hung - a tourist from Quy Chau district.

Mr. Nguyen Manh Cuong - Director of the Department of Tourism said: "The summer of 2023 is forecasted to have higher temperatures than the average of many years, with many severe heat waves.
