The most impressive of the series of works are the 5 independent holiday homes, assembled from materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum, glass... placed on a series of reinforced concrete piles. These houses have beautiful designs, bright white paint standing out against the green background of the grass and acacia forest. Photo: Ha Giang |

Each house has its own path. This path is also elaborately crafted, winding and beautifully paved with stones. Photo: Ha Giang |

According to the caretaker at this place, the houses are fully equipped with amenities and have solar-powered air conditioners. Photo: Ha Giang |

This house will be rented for 800,000 VND/day and night. Guests can take care of their own food and drinks, or if needed, they can order them to be prepared by the homestay owner. "Recently, there have been a few groups of guests staying..." - the caretaker said. Photo: Ha Giang |

On the gentle hillside, there are 5 such houses completed. On the top of the hill, there are 3 more houses that are being installed. Photo: Ha Giang |

Along with independent guesthouses, this homestay area also has a number of houses, a system of ornamental plants, and a solar energy collection system. Photo: Ha Giang |

In the homestay area, there are a number of walking paths, planted on the surface with the same type of smooth grass; at the same time, there are many new fruit trees and timber trees planted. Photo: Ha Giang |

Overall, this is a well-invested project, suitable for tourism business in Thanh An Tea Island of Thanh Chuong district. Unfortunately, this is an illegal construction on forestry land, which has been "whistled" by the People's Committee of Thanh Chuong district for "arbitrarily changing the land use purpose from production forest land to non-agricultural land without permission from the competent State agency".
