Tin du lịch Unique with the Cao Bang bamboo forest beautiful as a historical drama.

Accidentally seeing bamboo forests online left Minh impressed at first sight, so he quickly arranged his work to fly from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi and then took a bus to Cao Bang to explore.​

Currently an office worker in Ho Chi Minh City, Jesse Minh considers himself a "wanderlust." As long as he can arrange his work, he's ready to set off again.
Born and raised in the South, he has a particular fondness for the scenery in the North. He often chooses destinations that are little known, still preserving their peaceful yet wild essence.
Once, while accidentally encountering a picture of a bamboo forest that looked like it came from a costume drama online, the boy from Ho Chi Minh City even thought the photo was taken abroad. When he learned that it was a place in Cao Bang, he hurried online to search, but the information was scarce and vague. Fond of unusual places that are not well known, he took a few days off in mid-October to go right away.

From Ho Chi Minh City, he flew to Hanoi on Thursday night and then took a sleeper bus to Cao Bang that same night. The trip only lasted a few short days because on Sunday night, Minh had to return in time for the next week's work.
Starting from Cao Bang city, Minh rented a motorbike and took National Highway 34 to Nguyen Binh market about 40km away. After that, he traveled an additional 10km to the DT212 intersection, turned left, and drove another 25km to his destination.
"The total distance traveled is about 75km to reach it. It sounds far but the road is beautiful and easy to navigate. In fact, people can drive straight to the bamboo forest," Minh described.

The bamboo forest is located in Ban Phuong village, Thanh Cong commune, Nguyen Binh district. At an altitude of over 1,000m above sea level, the deeper you go, the fresher and cooler the atmosphere becomes.
"I was almost overwhelmed with surprise because I didn't think there was such a wonderful bamboo forest in Vietnam. In real life, the forest is even more beautiful than the pictures online, looking like scenes from a historic drama. On both sides, tall green bamboo grows beyond sight, and in the middle is a path made of small concrete slabs," Minh shared.
This area seems to have barely been touched by human hands, maintaining its original pristine features, which further soothes the soul.

At the time Minh visited, this area was quite empty of visitors. He spent about an hour in the forest to explore and experience. The visitor from Ho Chi Minh City felt it was quite a pity that such a beautiful place had not yet been discovered by many travelers.
"If this place is properly developed in terms of tourism, it will be just as famous as the bamboo forests in Japan. For those who want to travel to heal their souls, this is definitely a worthy place to visit," he suggested.
Taking advantage of the remaining days, Minh also visited Ban Gioc waterfall, Co La waterfall, and Thuong mountain. Additionally, he took the time to experience harvesting glutinous rice, picking chestnuts, and observing the process of making dong vermicelli—a famous specialty in Cao Bang.

The trip also warmed his heart with very simple things. When he returned in the cold rain, the homestay owner even brewed him a cup of ginger tea, and an elderly woman inquired if the visitor from afar had a place to stay, offering her home as a temporary refuge...
"Those small gestures were enough to bring about a Cao Bang trip filled with special emotions. I will definitely return to this land because there are still many places left to explore," the visitor from Ho Chi Minh City confided.
