Luc Ngan has more than sweet fruits
From Hanoi, visitors go along the Hanoi - Bac Giang Expressway to Bac Giang city, turn right to Highway 31 and go about 40km to Chu township (Luc Ngan). At this time, lychee is in the fruiting period. It grows fast day by day. When the koels call for summer, the harvest season comes (about late April and early May on the lunar calendar).

Luc Ngan lychee is in the fruiting period. |
Luc Ngan district is a famous fruit tree area in the country. Luc Ngan lychee has obtained its own "geographical indication". The district has a total area of over 28,000 hectares of fruit trees, including nearly 16,000 hectares of lychee. Its annual average fresh lychee yield ranges from 90,000 to 110,000 tonnes. In addition, the district also has other fruits such as orange, grapefruit, Taiwan apple, longan, sapodila, custard-apple and guava...
Coming to Luc Ngan in the lychee harvest season is the desire of tourists from near and far. They both see the lychee area with their own eyes and enjoy the fruits right in the orchard in a tour of attractive, primitive eco-spiritual tourist attractions. Visiting Luc Ngan in the lychee harvest season, visitors will come into the influx of lychee buyers and sellers.
Everyone here is conscious of sympathizing with and supporting each other, avoiding collisions and traffic accidents. In the main harvest season, lines of trucks go to the district to transport lychees to other places. The whole Luc Ngan becomes sleepless with lychees. Agencies at all levels and sectors focus on supporting people in selling the fruit.
Only a short tour, with so many destinations, is enough for tourists to enjoy life here, so that when leaving Luc Ngan, their feelings still remain... |
It takes two months from the time when lychees begin to bear fruit to the harvest, so the Luc Ngan people are now busy preparing for the upcoming harvest season such as building and repairing lychee drying furnaces, preparing charcoal and fuel, transporting and manufacturing foam boxes, preparing ice production sites and lychee selling points, and many “sponge-off” services during the harvest season... The bustling atmosphere increases day by day following the growth of lychees.
However, Luc Ngan has more than sweet fruits. It will be regrettable if tourists coming to this land do not visit the main, attractive and outstanding tourist destinations of the district. The first stop is Cau Tu Temple (9km from Chu township), where there is a thousand-year-old Thi tree whose perimeter is as large as a circle made by seven people
Tourists can also cross the Chu Bridge over the Luc Nam River to Thu Duong village, which was restored and built into a traditional craft village specialising in producing Chu noodles. The Chu noodles have been available in the domestic market.
Here, looking far away about 5km, tourists can see a sacred temple on Am Vai peak named Am Ni Tu, which was recognised as a national historical relic site in 2017. It is located in the Tay Yen Tu relic complex. If you turn left from the intersection of Chu township for about 9km, you will reach Khuon Than Lake, a diverse ecological area of Luc Ngan district.
Here visitors have the opportunity to hear the pine forest cheering and drop themselves on the lake with the folk melodies of San Chi, Nung and San Diu ethnic groups performed by artisans in the villages. Back to the Chu township crossroads, up 5km along Highway 31, tourists will visit Ha Temple, also a national relic site...
Only a short tour, with so many destinations, is enough for tourists to enjoy life here, so that when leaving Luc Ngan, their feelings still remain...
It is happy to come to the land of sweet fruits and enjoy them, but the sweeter thing is the invitation of the Luc Ngan people to come back to the next lychee season and the Spring Festival here, joining with the village boys and girls in sloong hao, sli and luon dances in the culture - sports festival of ethnic groups in Luc Ngan, so as to love this land more.
