Tran Duc, a visitor from Ho Chi Minh City travelling with his family, is deeply impressed by Ba Thuoc’s natural beauty and its rich historical and cultural heritage. Admiring the golden rice fields swaying in the breeze beside Cham Stream, he shared: “I have travelled to many places, but the natural beauty of Ba Thuoc has left a particularly strong impression on me. What makes it even more remarkable is the local legend that this was where the mother of King Le Trang Tong was sheltered by villagers and gave birth to him during a turbulent period in history.” The names of communes and villages in Ba Thuoc, such as Ban Cong, Sat, Ba, and Chieng Lau, remain closely associated with legends and historical events from the reign of King Le Trang Tong and the distinguished generals of the Le Dynasty. “I hope Ba Thuoc will preserve its distinctive cultural identity and remain an unspoilt destination, offering visitors charming and memorable experiences,” Duc said.
