Thao Nguyen Ward today.

Thao Nguyen Ward has a predominantly plateau topography, interspersed with low hills and valleys, with lush green meadows and tea plantations, favorable for agricultural production and the development of farm models, ranches, and eco-tourism resorts. The climate is cool year-round, conducive to the development of temperate fruit trees, flowers, clean vegetables, and high-value livestock. The fertile land is suitable for growing tea, plums, strawberries, orchids, vegetables, and medicinal plants, making it ideal for establishing specialized high-quality agricultural production areas.

This area is also a melting pot of cultures from many long-established ethnic groups, such as the Kinh, Thai, Mong, Dao, and Muong, creating a rich, unique cultural space deeply rooted in the identity of the Northwest highlands. Within the ward are numerous cultural sites and historical-spiritual landmarks associated with the formation and development of Moc Chau; community tourism destinations and homestays are being developed in conjunction with ecological conservation and the construction of a civilized urban environment.

Comrade Tran Dan Khoi, Secretary of the Party Committee of Thao Nguyen Ward, said: The ward has many favorable conditions for comprehensive development, with outstanding advantages in its central location, distinctive climate, and rich natural resources and landscapes. In particular, the implementation of the Hoa Binh - Moc Chau - Son La expressway project, along with Moc Chau being recognized as a National Tourist Area, has created a strong impetus to promote growth, investment, trade and services, and regional linkages. This is a great opportunity for Thao Nguyen Ward to leverage its role as a dynamic urban center, maximizing its potential in geographical location, ecological landscape, cultural identity of ethnic groups, and high-quality human resources, gradually building itself into a modern, ecological, smart, and livable tourist city.
