Over 300 years of formation and development, Ha Tien is a land of beautiful nature and rich history and culture. From the famous "Ten landscapes of Ha Tien", to the diverse ecosystem including sea, islands, mountains, forests, lagoons and countryside, creating a valuable foundation for sustainable tourism development. Ha Tien is not only a coastal city with unique landscapes but also a historical land associated with many heritages, resilient revolutionary traditions, and the imprint of Tao Dan Chieu Anh Cac - a symbol of poetry.
Ha Tien is marked by Mui Nai beach stretching with velvety sand, Thach Dong towering in the sky and clouds, the relic of the founder Minh Dang Quang hidden on the cliff overlooking the vast ocean, Dong Ho lagoon - a biosphere reserve with a rich flora and fauna... Each destination is a vivid natural picture, both majestic and close. Ms. Nguyen Hoang Huyen Tran, a tourist from Ca Mau province, said: "Standing on the cliff looking down at the afternoon sea, seeing the white-capped waves hitting the shore, I can feel the pristine beauty of Ha Tien. It is this tranquility and purity that makes Ha Tien different from many other places."
Not only beautiful in landscape, Ha Tien is also a land of cultural convergence. Kinh, Hoa and Khmer people live together, leaving many unique marks. The death anniversary of Duc Khai of Mac Cuu town and the Tao Dan Chieu Anh Cac festival are held annually, attracting tens of thousands of tourists from everywhere to enjoy and exchange culture and arts. When coming to Ha Tien on the occasion of Sene Dolta festival, tourists can immerse themselves in religious rituals and unique cultural features of the Khmer people. Each Khmer Theravada Buddhist temple is splendidly decorated with Buddhist flags, lights and colorful flowers. "Ha Tien is beautiful because of the scenery, the sea and the cultural exchange of the nation. Therefore, traveling to Ha Tien is not simply sightseeing but also a journey of experience," said Mr. Vo Thanh Tan, a tourist from Can Tho City.
Ha Tien cuisine also captivates people. Bun Ken with the rich taste of coconut milk, fresh herring salad with the flavor of the ocean, sweet crab noodle soup or seafood restaurants near the night market, all create an unforgettable experience. Besides, Ha Tien is also famous for its OCOP products (One Commune One Product Program), potential products typical of the coastal city such as: Salted Ca Xiu, stir-fried shrimp paste, My Duc sweet potatoes... Each dish is a story, a part of life associated with the sea, with the simple people in the border area. Mr. Tran Van Nghi, a local who is attached to the profession of catching seafood, shared: "Tourists remember Ha Tien because of the rich, rustic dishes made from the seafood we catch. Ha Tien people now not only earn a living but also feel proud when contributing to tourism".
In recent times, the Ha Tien tourism industry has focused on developing a variety of tourism products, from historical - cultural tourism, eco-tourism to coastal services and nightlife activities. At the same time, promoting the application of digital technology in promotion and management to bring tourists smart and convenient tourism experiences. Director of the Ha Tien Trade and Tourism Promotion Center Nguyen Thi Mong Quyen emphasized: "By maximizing local resources, Ha Tien has gradually affirmed its position as an attractive destination, where tourists not only come to sightsee and enjoy cuisine but also to experience culture and sincere, hospitable people. We will continue to advise and orient tourism development associated with the preservation of natural and cultural values, because that is the invaluable asset of Ha Tien".
