Tinh Tuc townlet is in Nguyen Binh district,
Cao Bang province. Located quietly in the northeast, Tinh Tuc townlet is like a forgotten town with old houses surrounded by dense
forests.
Tinh Tuc town was built in 1970s, the town was formed by thousands of tin miners
who came to work in Tinh Tuc tin mines. Mining workers come from other places
with few natives are the first citizens of this district.
Prosperity of the town is associated with mining workforce. Around 1965 - 1973,
the number of employees came up to 4,000 people, marked at the high time of the
town. Nearly 40 years of existence, the mine reserves run low, most workers
left, the town has become deserted. Visitors to Tinh Tuc all have a feeling that
time has stood still for ages. |
