Taking advantage of the summer break, Ms. Hoang Phuong Dung, Duyen Hai ward, Lao Cai city, and her husband decided to take the children for a picnic in some new, little-known places in the province. Dung said: Due to the long summer vacation, I want to take my two children out to play, instead of letting them be friends all day with the phone and TV. At this time, traveling or playing in the park is not suitable, so at weekends, my family goes to places in the suburbs. This is an opportunity for the children to explore the landscape, play outdoor games, help them gain more practical knowledge, and strengthen family bonds. My family's criteria are that the place must be flat for camping, having lots of trees to avoid heat, and we prioritize places with rivers and streams to cool off. Thanks to the reviews on social networks, I have chosen many interesting places suitable for picnic activities, so every week, my family changes a different place. To prepare for a camping trip, I went to groups to share travel experiences to learn and order things. In addition to the camping cloth, there are also outdoor cooking tools, electric fans, insect repellent sprays, fishing rods and swimming floats for children…

Nhac Son Hill (Lao Cai city) is the suitable camping picnic option for families

Mr. Nguyen Van Tien also just went camping with his group of friends overnight at the Seo Chong Ho hydropower lake area, Ban Ho commune, Sa Pa town. Before the trip, he prepared his own private tent which is worth 2 million dong, with tables and chairs, bowls and chopsticks, a grill, and indispensable face masks and hand sanitizer to prevent the Covid-19 pandemic. According to Mr. Tien, different from the feeling of staying in luxurious and comfortable resorts, camping tourism brings new and unique experiences when being in harmony with nature, leaving behind the hustle and bustle of the city. Let’s imagine the feeling of bathing in a cool stream, then eating a barbecue with all local specialties with your friends; coming together in the evening to light the campfire and sing. Those are great experiences that increase the chances of communication, understanding and bonding among the groups of friends or family members. In addition, the cost of a camping trip is much "softer" than other forms of tourism.

Lao Cai has many wild tourist destinations, suitable for the form of camping tourism. However, when participating in this form of tourism, people need to pay attention to safety conditions, carefully study the destination and preview the weather forecast. Although choosing a quiet area, people should limit contact as much as possible, travel by family car and ensure environmental hygiene at the destination. Along with the form of camping tourism are often the activities such as walking, climbing, bathing in streams, fishing, cooking, barbecuing with prepared and pre-prepared foods... to save time and effort, you can hire local people to prepare food on the spot and lead the way when needed.
