Foreign tourists plant trees in Ha Giang

A company called Jasmine Tours started a tree-planting activity in April.

The company has many guests, and each guest plants one tree. Over 5,000 trees have been planted so far.

The project started because tourists saw bare hillsides along the Ha Giang Loop.

Tourists planted trees in Ha Cho Hamlet in Ha Giang. This is in Vietnam's northern highlands.

The company hopes to restore the land and reduce erosion.

The trees are planted in two areas, and local people manage them.

The company chooses tree types based on the land and weather. Many people like the sa moc tree.

A local man says tourists planted 2,000 trees on his land.

The local man used to grow corn but now grows trees for wood.

He thinks this project is good for people in the highlands.

His trees will be ready to harvest in 10 years.

Some Australian tourists were happy to plant trees.

A local official says the tree-planting activity helps the environment.

A sa moc tree was planted by foreign tourists.

A local leader says the Chinese fir tree has been important in Ha Giang for a long time.

The tree grows well and helps prevent soil erosion.

Local authorities encourage people to plant Chinese fir trees.

Rows of Chinese fir trees can be seen in Ha Giang.

Tourism businesses in Ha Giang also do other community activities.

These activities are popular with tourists who want to learn about local life.
