The journey to discover Tuyen Quang begins from the famous land, which used to be a "red address" associated with the history of the nation. Tan Trao Relic Site - the place where Uncle Ho lived, worked and led the August 1945 General Uprising, has become a tourist attraction. This place is not only a place to visit, but also a place to educate the revolutionary spirit and patriotism of the young generation.

When coming to Tan Trao, one of the experiences not to be missed is the journey on Na Nua Lake, where visitors board a raft - a large boat made from primitive bamboo. This is not only a traditional means of transportation but also a way for visitors to immerse themselves in the majestic natural scenery, enjoying the tranquility of the mountains and forests.

On the raft, the melody of Then singing resounds, blending with the melodious sound of Tinh lute, creating a special musical space in the middle of nature. The Tay ethnic artists passionately express their unique culture, making the participants feel moved, proud and immersed in that cultural flow.

Then singing and Tinh lute have become an indispensable part of the cultural and spiritual life of the Tay, Nung and Thai people. These melodies are not only songs praying for peace and good harvests, but also the rhythm of love and peace of the village.

The activity "Swimming - Then singing on Na Nua Lake" was put into operation by the Management Board of Tourist Areas of Tuyen Quang province from 2022. Based on the unique cultural values ​​of ethnic groups and poetic natural landscapes, the province has identified tourism development as an important economic sector in a sustainable direction.

This is an experiential tourism product associated with source tourism at the Tan Trao National Special Historical Relic Site, creating a strong connection between historical tourism and local cultural experiences. Thereby creating many good impressions for tourists when coming to Tuyen Quang.

During the trip, many tourists had unique experiences, such as Ms. Pham Ngan from Hanoi. The first time she heard Then singing on Na Nua Lake, Ms. Ngan shared: "Each melodious sound of the Tinh lute mixed with the voice of the Tay girl resounding in the middle of Na Nua Lake, brought me a strange, peaceful feeling. Rowing on the blue water, listening to the gentle music, I was quickly drawn into the majestic nature of the Viet Bac mountains and forests. In particular, through the sound of the lute and the singing, I felt the deep love for music and homeland of the people here."

Ms. Mai Anh, a tourist from Nghe An, excitedly shared after a round of swimming on the lake that this was the first time she had been swimming to see the scenery. She felt very secure as she and everyone in the group were fully equipped with life jackets, feeling very safe when participating in activities on the lake. Sitting on the raft, surrounded by vast water, immersing herself in the sweet Then melodies was truly an interesting experience.

It can be felt that the combination of traditional music and natural landscape has created a special attraction, making visitors not only explore but also understand more deeply the culture, people and soul of Tuyen Quang land.
