Tourist Attractions, What to See in Ha Nam

The idyllic natural landscape of Ha Nam is becoming something of the past. The poor province relies on quick money by granting permits to bring down the limestone mountains in the province to get material for producing cement. There are some cement factories in Ha Nam still and the mountains are disappearing.

While most tourists do not often visit Ha Nam, there are untouched areas in the province for those who love straying from the well-trodden path. Currently Ha Nam is turning Tam Chuc Lake into a tourist spot for both ecotourism and religious tourism.

1/ Tam Chuc Pagoda

This pagoda is a private business. It was built recently by a private company. The state allows this company to use some 5,000 hectares of agricultural land for the complex. The pagoda stirs some controversy among the public and scholars.

Travel, Tours and Things to do in Ha Nam

Tourism is underdeveloped in Ha Nam. Paradissa offers battlefield tours to visit former battle grounds on Route 21 which took place during the Hoa Binh Battle. There may be some changes in local government policy in preserving the karstic landscape to the west of the province, then we could arrange ecotours to this area.

Phu Ly City, Capital of Ha Nam Province in Vietnam

Ha Nam is building many industrial zones which attract large investments from Vietnamese companies and overseas investors. Paradissa also provides business travel services like hotel room booking and local transfers…

Because there are not many demands for tourist services in Ha Nam, there are not many local tour companies and travel agencies in the province. There are some transport agents and taxi companies servicing within the province and to nearby cities.
