Located approximately 80 km from Hanoi, Phu Tho is the ancestral land and the cradle of the Vietnamese nation. The terrain is characteristic of the midlands, featuring a major river system, vast green tea hills, and the pristine Xuan Son National Park. Visually, Phu Tho stands out for its ancient spiritual heritage—most notably the Hung Kings' Temple Historical Site—harmoniously blended with traditional craft villages and riverine landscapes. The province is home to two UNESCO-recognized intangible cultural heritages: the Worship of Hung Kings and Xoan Singing. For film crews, Phu Tho is an ideal location for historical dramas, period pieces, cultural documentaries, and rural-themed television series. Thanks to the Noi Bai – Lao Cai expressway, crews can easily travel, transport equipment, and access reliable accommodation logistics. It is a diverse and cost-effective filming destination for filmmakers.
