What's in the 'whistled' homestay on Thanh An Tea Island?
(Baonghean.vn) - From the foot of Cau Cau dam, it takes about ten minutes by boat to reach Khe Tro hill, Dao Che area, Thanh An commune, where there is a tourist service business in the homestay model. This is a series of projects that have been invested quite elaborately, but were "whistled" for illegal construction on forestry land!
The case of arbitrarily changing the purpose of using forestry land and illegally building many structures at Khe Tro hill, Thanh An commune was reported by Nghe An Electronic Newspaper on May 20 through an article."Considering collective and individual responsibilities for land violations in Thanh An commune (Thanh Chuong)"Below are images of this series of projects recorded by Nghe An Newspaper reporters:

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

Each house has its own path. This path is also elaborately crafted, winding and beautifully paved with stone. 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 they need them, 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 |

In the gentle hill area, there are 5 such houses completed. And on the top of the hill, there are 3 more houses under construction. 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 carefully 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".
