In recent years, to preserve and promote traditional cultural values of ethnic minorities, Yen Bai Province has consistently directed and facilitated efforts by communes, villages, and individuals to maintain and promote their ethnic culture by encouraging the establishment of cultural clubs and performance teams.

Developing “green tourism” is regarded as an appropriate direction in the current context. As a specialized mulberry-growing area, Thanh Thinh Commune in Tran Yen District is aiming to link mulberry cultivation with the development of landscapes in mulberry-growing and silkworm-raising zones, while producing various mulberry-based products to promote ecological and experiential tourism. This tourism model operates with a focus on minimizing environmental impact, preserving cultural heritage, and generating eco-friendly products to increase income for farmers and producers, thereby contributing to the sustainable development of the local sericulture industry.

The 2025 “Echoes of Thac Ba Lake” Cultural and Sports Festival in Yen Binh District is scheduled to take place from April 18 to May 1, 2025.

In recent years, Yen Bai City has actively developed spiritual tourism through traditional sacred festivals held at temples and pagodas, drawing large numbers of locals and visitors. These activities not only honor spiritual values but also contribute significantly to preserving national cultural and historical heritage.
