Explore Nhi Hoa Community Tourism Village in Vinh Long province

Just one month after officially opening to visitors, Nhi Hoa Community Tourism Village (Nhi Long commune, Vinh Long province) is becoming a popular destination attracting many tourists to experience and immerse themselves in the peaceful atmosphere of the countryside along the Co Chiem River.

According to the Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Vinh Long province, Nhi Hoa is one of the four new community tourism villages in Vinh Long (after the merger of Tra Vinh and Ben Tre). The community tourism village model is being implemented with the expectation of creating a new and attractive destination for domestic and foreign tourists.

"Nhi Long commune is the first locality in the province to introduce community-based tourism after the administrative reorganization. Community-based tourism is challenging to develop, and even more difficult to maintain, so we hope that the villagers will work together to introduce unique products to tourists," he said.

The community-based tourism model in Nhi Hoa hamlet is built on a closed-loop service supply chain linked to each rural household. Here, each participating household offers a unique, non-repetitive experiential product that authentically reflects their daily livelihood.

Visitors to Nhi Hoa can directly participate in gardening activities, farming life, folk games, and experience the peaceful riverside atmosphere based on the unique ecosystem including betel nut, coconut, and pomelo gardens…

In particular, visitors can freely experience traditional dishes made by individual households using clean, characteristic ingredients from the countryside, such as kumquat jam, tapioca pudding, starfruit leaf cake, steamed glutinous rice cake, fermented shrimp....

According to Dr. Duong Duc Minh, Deputy Director of the Institute for Economic and Tourism Development Research in Ho Chi Minh City, the community tourism model is positioned within a vision of green growth and sustainable development based on three core values: symbolism, perception, and enhancement.

Nhi Hoa is not an isolated ecological space but a connected system, situated on a convenient transportation route , facilitating more efficient access to tourists, thereby unlocking the potential of agricultural tourism, and especially creating sustainable livelihoods for the local people.

In Nhi Hoa, the locals are not just storytellers, but the living cultural capital of this nearly 200-year-old village, which gives depth to the experience and makes the community-based tourism model unique.

Visitors not only watch but also directly participate in activities, from weaving leaves into shapes; blindfolded duck catching, laughter echoing on the dirt field; collecting eggs from nests, experiencing the rhythm of rural life; to the moment the boat drifts along the peaceful river, the calm water, the serene scenery, time seems to slow down...
