Bac Giang: As lychee orchards in full bloom paint red the hillsides of the northern province of Bac Giang, the lychee hub is drawing a growing number of visitors keen to experience the region’s summer harvest. In key lychee-growing areas such as Luc Ngan and Tan Yen districts and Chu township, the atmosphere is vibrant as farmers harvest the fruit and tourism activities peak.

According to Vietnam News Agency, the influx of tourists is not only boosting local tourism but also providing an opportunity for visitors to engage with the local culture and agricultural practices. Many tourists are participating in guided tours of the orchards, where they can learn about the cultivation and harvesting processes of the lychee fruit. These tours often include tasting sessions, allowing visitors to enjoy the fresh and unique flavors of the lychees straight from the trees.

The local government and tourism operators are capitalizing on this interest by organizing festivals and events that celebrate the lychee harvest, adding to the vibrant atmosphere in these districts. These events often feature cultural performances, traditional music, and local cuisine, offering a comprehensive experience of the region’s cultural heritage.

Farmers in the region are also benefiting from the increased foot traffic, as direct sales of lychees to tourists provide an additional revenue stream. This seasonal tourism surge is a significant boost to the local economy, fostering a sustainable model that combines agriculture and tourism.
