From the heyday to revive: Ham Rong attracts tourists!
Sa Pa, Vietnam - The Ham Rong-Berg in Sa Pa is not only a goal for nature lovers, but also a place with rich mythology and a variety of attractions. In recent years, the eco tourism has changed significantly and is now showing itself in new light.
Mr. Malcolm, a tourist from Australia, visited his wife Sa Pa for three days and was enthusiastic about the beauty of the landscape and the pleasant climate of the Ham Rong Mountains. The temperatures here only rise to 15 to 18 degrees Celsius and thus create ideal conditions for growing many flower species. The mountain rises over 1,800 meters above sea level and offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the city of Sa Pa.
from its tipcultural and geographical highlights
The name "Ham Rong" means "pine of the dragon" and is surrounded by several legends. A story tells of two dragons that played during an flood, one of them flew away and the other petrified as a mountain. Geographically, the Ham Rong-Berg with a steep terrain and a height between 1,450 and 1,850 meters is particularly striking. Access to the mountain is easy because it is only about 3 kilometers from the city center of Sa Pa.
Popular attractions on the mountain include an orchid garden with over 200 species, a garden with Japanese peach trees and the garden of the 12 zodiac signs. In addition, visitors can reach the "Himmelsbrücke", which offers impressive views of the Sa Pa valley. A special highlight is the central flower garden, which was designed in a European style.
challenges and new beginnings
Despite the popularity of the area, the tourist facilities suffered from ailing infrastructure and a lack of investments, especially after the Covid 19 pandemy. In recent years, however, a number of renovations and investments have taken place that have contributed to reviving the area. Clean stone roads and newly planted flower gardens were created to increase the attraction of the area.
like vietnam.vn during the holidays from April 30 to May 1, 2024 visited more than 4,000 tourists Ham Rong, which corresponds to an increase of 30 percent compared to the previous year. Despite these positive developments, the Ham Rong-Berg often remains behind other attractions such as the summit of the Fansipan or the village of Cat Cat.
tourist developments and future prospects
The local government and the tourist area management board work committed to reviving the area. According to Sa Pa, Ham Rong receives special attention according to the 5-year-time tourism development plan. Future plans include extensive renovations, landscape beauties and increased advertising via various media. The positive feedback from visitors to the natural beauties of the mountain make it clear that Ham Rong remains a valuable goal for ecotourism.
However, visitors should be prepared for wearing comfortable shoes during their stay in the mountains and respecting the local customs. With the new developments and the restoration of the area, Ham Rong has the potential to regain his former followers and continue to be a fascinating goal in Vietnam. For many, the stay remains a unique opportunity to experience the diverse beauty of nature up close.| Details | |
