Local specialties such as shrimp and fish from Hoa Binh Lake are promoted by resorts and incorporated into the culinary offerings for tourists.

According to vendors at the Da Trang Pass area, the beauty of Ba Khan valley was only discovered recently by backpacking travelers. In 2018, Mai Chau Hideaway, the first tourism resort invested and put into operation, became one of the standout eco-tourism destinations, particularly attracting international visitors. Following Mai Chau Hideaway, another high-end resort, Ba Khan Village Resort, was also launched.

Leveraging the natural landscape, accommodation activities in Ba Khan valley are steadily growing. Not only is it a renowned eco-tourism destination in the Hoa Binh Lake Tourism Area, but Ba Khan also offers a unique community-based tourism experience, combining exploration of pristine beauty with the cultural richness of the Muong ethnic community living by the lake.

According to Mr. Bui Xuan Truong, Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, visitors are enchanted by the natural and rustic beauty of Ba Khan valley. The area, with its mountains, forests, and lakes, paired with pleasant weather, offers tourists unforgettable experiences. This destination attracts visitors year-round. In the summer, Ba Khan valley serves as an ideal place to escape the heat. In autumn, the climate here is fresh and mild, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. In winter, the cold weather adds to its charm, with misty landscapes and warm fireside gatherings in traditional stilt houses nestled against the hills. When spring arrives, flowers bloom, trees sprout new leaves, and Ba Khan dons a vibrant green cloak full of life...
