To show the pioneering role of young people, the youth unions of Lang Giang and Hiep Hoa districts, Viet Yen township and Bac Giang city have established clubs of tour guides with the participation of many students.
Present every Saturday and Sunday at the Suoi Mo Eco-Tourism Area in Luc Nam district, members of a volunteer club promoting the locality’s key historical relic sites passionately introduce local destinations to visitors. Equipped with knowledge and communication skills, these young guides confidently share cultural and historical insights.
The club was founded in April 2024 with 15 youth members. Mastering technology, its members have produced videos and photos showcasing Suoi Mo (Mo Spring) and other local landmarks, and posted them on platforms like YouTube and Facebook, attracting tens of thousands of views. They plan to digitize the relic sites into 3D formats with narrations.
