The northern province of Phu Tho last week launched its tourism website at
https://dulich.phutho.gov.vn and decided to establish a tourism information
and promotion centre.
Phu Tho is considered the cradle of Vietnamese civilisation and has many
famous relic sites such as the Hung Kings Temple in Phong Chau District and
Mother Au Co Temple in Ha Hoa District. The former is dedicated to the 18
Hung Kings, the mythical founders of Van Lang, the fist state in the
history
of Vietnam.
The province also has many attractive sites like the Xuan Son National Park
in Thanh Son District, Ao Chau Lagoon with its hundreds of large and small
islets in Ha Hoa District, and Thanh Thuy hot spring in Thanh Thuy District.
The province has given rise to many famous festivals such as the Hung Kings
Temple Festival to mark their death anniversary in the third lunar month
every year, which recently became a national holiday.
