Du Gia – The Awakening Fairy in the Heart of Hร  Giang โœจ๐Ÿ”๏ธ

๐ŸŒฟ Nestled at the foot of the majestic Ba Tiรชn Mountain, Du Giร  commune, located in the southern part of Yรชn Minh district, was once a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Before the first travelers set foot here, Du Giร  resembled a “sleeping fairy,” untouched by the bustling waves of tourism. However, once awakened, this picturesque land transformed dramatically, bringing prosperity and new opportunities to its people. ๐Ÿก๐ŸŒพ

The Sleeping Days of Du Giร  ๐Ÿ˜ด๐ŸŒ„

๐Ÿš— Located more than 50 km from the center of Yรชn Minh district and nearly 70 km from Hร  Giang city, Du Giร  was once an isolated area, connected only by the deteriorating provincial road 176B. Despite being part of the ฤแป“ng Vฤƒn Karst Plateau Global Geopark, Du Giร  remained off the tourist map for years, even after the plateau was recognized by UNESCO in 2010. ๐Ÿ“œ๐ŸŒ

๐Ÿก Home to over 9,400 people from 9 ethnic groupsโ€”including the Mรดng, Dao, Tร y, and Cao Lanโ€”Du Giร  relied primarily on agriculture for survival. Corn and rice were the staple crops, covering more than 2,200 hectares of farmland. The commune was also known for its cattle trading, with a lively Saturday market attracting buyers from across the highlands. ๐Ÿ‚๐ŸŒฝ

๐Ÿ“‰ However, before 2017, tourism was an unfamiliar concept. Life was challenging, with the average annual income per capita barely exceeding 10 million VND (~400 USD), and poverty rates exceeding 40%. Du Giร  remained in a deep slumber, waiting for its moment to shine. ๐ŸŒ™๐Ÿ’ค

A New Dawn: Tourism Sparks Transformation ๐ŸŒ…โœจ

๐Ÿ† Recognizing the potential of tourism, local authorities identified Du Giร  as a key destination for ecotourism and community-based tourism in southern Yรชn Minh. With concerted efforts over nearly a decade, Du Giร  has emerged as a must-visit destination, drawing thousands of international visitors and uplifting local communities. ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ•๏ธ

๐Ÿ  From having no tourism infrastructure, Du Giร  now boasts 30 homestays and guesthouses, accommodating over 700 guests per night. Restaurants and travel services have flourished, enhancing visitor experiences. Between 2016 and 2020, Du Giร  received only 40,000 visitors, but in 2023 alone, the commune has welcomed over 52,000 guests, including 37,000 international travelers. ๐ŸŒโœˆ๏ธ

๐Ÿ’ฐ With tourism revenue exceeding 70 billion VND (~2.8 million USD), the local economy has seen remarkable growth. Jobs in hospitality, guiding, traditional performances, and local crafts have created opportunities for nearly 100 workers, earning 5โ€“7 million VND (~200-300 USD) per month. During peak seasons, some homestay owners earn hundreds of millions of VND per month. ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ’ต

๐ŸŒพ Beyond tourism, agriculture has also benefited. The growing demand for local food has encouraged the expansion of livestock farming, with nearly 10,000 cattle and 30,000 poultry now raised in the commune. The average income has increased to nearly 30 million VND (~1,200 USD) per person per year, and the poverty rate has steadily declined by 6% annually. ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐ŸŒŸ

Challenges & The Need for Sustainable Growth ๐Ÿ›‘๐Ÿ”

Despite these successes, Du Giร  faces growing pains. Rapid tourism expansion has led to unregulated construction, with nearly 50 cases of unauthorized land conversion for homestays and guesthouses. Without a clear master plan, this could lead to environmental and legal complications. ๐Ÿšง๐Ÿ—๏ธ

๐Ÿž๏ธ Recognizing these issues, in 2021, Hร  Giang province approved a comprehensive tourism development plan for Du Giร  covering 6,923 hectares. This ambitious blueprint envisions Du Giร  as a “core park” for eco-tourism, herbal medicine retreats, and sustainable farm-stay experiences. However, detailed zoning plans are still pending, making governance challenging. ๐Ÿ“œ๐Ÿ›ค๏ธ

A Bright Future for Du Giร  Tourism ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ›ค๏ธ

๐Ÿ† Recently awarded Asiaโ€™s Leading Emerging Destination, Hร  Giang has solidified its position as a premier travel hotspot. However, maintaining this reputation requires balancing growth with sustainability. Local authorities must accelerate planning efforts, regulate construction, and foster responsible tourism investment. With proper management, Du Giร  can continue to thrive as an enchanting, eco-friendly paradise, offering visitors a unique blend of adventure, culture, and breathtaking landscapes. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ”๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ
