The river tells stories...

Follow the river back to the village

Opposite the row of heritage rosewood trees - the locals here call them su trees (Huong Tra village, Tam Ky city) is a peaceful river. This section of Tam Ky river seems greener and deeper. A few boats rest on the grass. The smoke and waves are hazy. The scene is like a picture in people's imagination of the hometown wharves.

Going back in time, the days when Tam Ky was bustling with the Sua flower festival. The wharf right at Huong Tra village was then resplendent with colorful Ao Dais. Summer was also the time when the river was at its most beautiful. This feeling was certainly not only for people from the upstream like me. The sunbeams shimmered on the water. Boats cut through the waves, taking people from the city to visit a village.

Linh Giang named Tam Ky seems to have a special attraction next to the experiences of the golden trumpet vine festival season. A river tour departing from Huong Tra village - Go wharf - Ca Ban village, visiting orchards and fruit trees in Tho Tan village - Ho Voi wharf (Dong Phu village, Tam Ngoc commune) - visiting Phu Ninh Lake Eco-tourism Area and returning, is enough to attract the souls of travel enthusiasts to the three-river city.

After about 30 minutes, Dong Phu boat station (Tam Ngoc commune) gradually appeared. The summer flower fields were just in full bloom. This was also the first "check-in" point to start exploring Ca Ban village. "Ca Ban - a green meeting place, fresh experience" is the wish of the locals to leave in the hearts of tourists. Located along the Tam Ky river, the village space is just green enough with fruit gardens and the warm smiles of the residents of the land that has been formed for hundreds of years.

The story of the people at the riverbank

If the gentle waves of the Tam Ky River bring a feeling of relaxation when the two sides of the river are gardens, houses, and shady bamboo groves, the feeling of experiencing the Dam River is different. A journey in the middle of the vast river, with the rustling wind, with the very soft sounds of migratory birds.

The feeling of sailing on the Dam River makes people dream of a journey back in time. Because the wild reeds in the middle of the river make the heart flutter because they think they are touching a “living museum” of natural creatures.

The river is mysterious not because the flow contains mysteries. Sometimes, the stories of people on the riverbank with strange memories will make the river carry legends. In Song Dam, the story of the river is evoked by the witnesses of a time of attachment, among reeds and bushes, among bombs, mines and guns, to preserve a precious Bai Say - Song Dam for the future.

The river experience is only enjoyable when the sun shines on the water. At this time, travelers can feel the serenity from the depths of their souls, awakened by the boat moving along the water.

Dam River is waking up every day with development projects, especially, exploiting river tourism is being focused on by Tam Ky. Mr. Nguyen Minh Nam - Vice Chairman of Tam Ky City People's Committee said, in the field of tourism, Tam Thanh coastal strip, rivers, and lagoons are important natural landscape spaces and have great significance for Tam Ky tourism.

Mr. Nguyen Minh Nam said that although Tam Ky has made efforts to exploit river tourism, the investment cost for river tourism infrastructure is quite large, so most of the wharves have not been properly invested. In addition, the community's capacity is not ready, the legal mechanism to attract investors is unclear, which are obstacles to exploiting the full potential of Tam Ky's river tourism.

“In recent times, Tam Ky has oriented to build tourist attractions such as: Ky Anh Tunnels, Song Dam Lake, Huong Tra Village, Tam Thanh Mural Village, Ca Ban Tam Ngoc Village... In particular, oriented to develop riverside tourist traffic routes to connect points, at the same time creating new products, especially experiencing activities on rivers, seas, lakes and lagoons.

We have built boat crews to serve tourists in Dam River, Truong Giang and piloted the Huong Tra - Ca Ban route. In the coming time, Tam Ky will plan and build a specific plan associated with resources and the community to implement, in order to gradually form a chain of tourist destinations along the Tam Ky River" - Mr. Nguyen Minh Nam said.

River tourism is developing, which means that natural landscapes and living environments are being protected. Because the rivers carry the stories of the land...
