Du Gia – The Awakening Fairy in the Heart of Hร Giang โจ๐๏ธ
๐ฟ 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. ๐ก๐พ
The Sleeping Days of Du Giร ๐ด๐
๐ 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 ฤแปng Vฤn Karst Plateau Global Geopark, Du Giร remained off the tourist map for years, even after the plateau was recognized by UNESCO in 2010. ๐๐
๐ก Home to over 9,400 people from 9 ethnic groupsโincluding the Mรดng, Dao, Tร y, and Cao LanโDu 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. ๐๐ฝ
๐ 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. ๐๐ค
A New Dawn: Tourism Sparks Transformation ๐ โจ
๐ 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. ๐ถโโ๏ธ๐๏ธ
๐ 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. ๐โ๏ธ
๐ฐ 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 5โ7 million VND (~200-300 USD) per month. During peak seasons, some homestay owners earn hundreds of millions of VND per month. ๐ก๐ต
๐พ 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. ๐๐
Challenges & The Need for Sustainable Growth ๐๐
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. ๐ง๐๏ธ
๐๏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. ๐๐ค๏ธ
A Bright Future for Du Giร Tourism ๐๐ค๏ธ
๐ Recently awarded Asiaโs 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. ๐๐๏ธ๐ฟ
