From March 8 until the end of June, Bac Ninh province is offering free tours to explore its rich history and culture. The tours include places featured in singer Hoa Minzy’s music video “Bac Bling”.
Released on March 1, Hoa Minzy’s MV “Bac Bling” quickly went viral on social media, topped domestic music charts, and made waves internationally. The music video highlights some of Bac Ninh province’s iconic destinations, including Do temple, Phu Lang pottery village, Dong Do folk painting village, and Dau pagoda.
“I’m very proud to see Bac Ninh’s culture and beautiful landmarks featured beautifully on the MV,” said a Bac Ninh man.
“Hoa Minzy’s “Bac Bling” is on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. Now I know more about Bac Ninh province, its culture, heritages, Quan Ho folk singing, and the custom of inviting betel leaves,” said a girl.
Building on the success of “Bac Bling” and the excitement it has generated, Bac Ninh province is offering free guided tours to bring visitors closer to its iconic historical sites, traditional craft villages, and sacred temples, thus inspiring national pride.
One itinerary takes tourists to the Bac Ninh Museum, But Thap and Dau pagodas, Dong Ho folk painting village, Do temple, and the Nam Hong Royal Museum.
Another tour goes to the Bac Ninh Museum, Phat Tich pagoda, the Kinh Duong Vuong temple and tomb, Phu Lang pottery village, Nguyen Cao temple, and Dien Quang pagoda.
Every weekend from now until June, each day, there are four free tours departing at 8 a.m. and returning at 5:30 p.m.
Vuong Quoc Tuan, Chairman of the Bac Ninh provincial People’s Committee, said: “Since the debut of the “Bac Bling” music video, local traditions and heritages have been widely promoted. These free tours give people an opportunity to learn more about Bac Ninh province, its culture and people.”
When the free-tour program ends, Bac Ninh province will evaluate its effectiveness and find other ways to further boost local tourism.
