This spring 2025, Ha Giang welcomes visitors with a new experience: "Hunting for stamps". At famous destinations, visitors will find specially designed stamps, bearing the imprint of local culture. The "Ha Giang Tourist Passport" is like a special ticket, recording visitors' journey of discovery through each unique stamp, turning each page into a vivid memory film.
Mr. To Thai Hung (travel blogger To Di Dau) is the one who proposed the idea of "tourist passport" in Ha Giang. Mr. Hung said that this project is coordinated by the Department of Tourism of Ha Giang province.
"The 12 locations chosen for stamping are not only the most prominent destinations in Ha Giang, but also symbols of the natural beauty, culture and people here. Each location has its own mark, imbued with the highland identity and long-standing customs of ethnic minorities," said Mr. Thai Hung.

The deployment of 12 stamping points not only creates a purposeful journey of discovery, but also evokes the spirit of collecting in every tourist. Who wouldn't want to complete a unique collection like the "Ha Giang Travel Passport", turning it into a "memory treasure" that fully preserves memorable moments in this land? And when they realize they are missing a few stamps, tourists will ask themselves: "What have I missed in Ha Giang? What experiences have I not discovered?". That urge will bring them back, not only to complete the collection, but also to continue to explore and love the beauty of Ha Giang.
It can be said that the idea of "Travel Passport" and the experience of "hunting for stamps" in Ha Giang is truly a unique idea, creating a clear difference compared to traditional tourism models. This creativity not only attracts tourists but also affirms Ha Giang's pioneering position in innovating and renewing tourism products...
Impressive travel with new experiences
Around the world, many countries have also used wooden seals or stamps to convey cultural stories to tourists. The seals have become a souvenir, connecting and inviting tourists to explore new lands.
For example, in Japan, station stamps - "Eki Stamps" - are an indispensable part of tourist culture. Placed at stations across the country, "Eki Stamps" are not just ordinary stamps but also miniature works of art, depicting famous landmarks, local specialties or important events of each region.

Collecting "Eki Stamps" has become an exciting "quest", urging tourists to explore new lands and search for unique stamps. With more than 9,000 stations across Japan, this is not an easy journey, but it brings memorable experiences.
Not only in Japan, when coming to Taiwan (China), visitors will experience the unique "check-in stamp" culture. From tourist attractions, cable cars to subway stations, visitors will easily find free stamps, designed with cute shapes, imbued with local cultural identity.

Collecting these stamps is not only a way to "check off" the places visited, but also a way to explore the unique cultural features of Taiwan (China).
Even in Antarctica, which is administered by more than 50 countries, visitors can receive souvenir stamps at scientific stations. Although not official passport stamps, these stamps still have special commemorative value, marking an extraordinary journey to the frozen land.

It can be seen that using seals to attract tourists in Ha Giang is not only a temporary trend but also an effective tourism strategy, helping to spread local culture and history to international friends.
| For Vietnam tourism to truly "take off", it is necessary to replicate and further develop creative models like those in Ha Giang, combined with investment in design, conveying local cultural stories in a sophisticated and professional manner. At that time, the small stamps will not only be souvenirs but also contribute to promoting the image of Vietnam to international friends, bringing Vietnam tourism to a new level. |
