Nature and people have endowed Que Phong district with many historical relics and beautiful landscapes: Nine-room Temple, ancient Thai village, traditional festivals, Sao Va Waterfall, seven-story waterfall, Pu Hoat Nature Reserve, Mother Cave, Hua Na Hydroelectric Reservoir, etc. In addition, Que Phong is also a land of convergence of many ethnic groups: Kinh, Thai, Tho, Kho Mu, Mong, Tay, Nung, Muong, with many unique cultural features, rich in national identity. However, the locality has not yet exploited this potential to develop the tourism industry.
