The attraction of village tourism

Besides the bustling city center or town, peaceful villages with fresh nature and various unique ethnic cultures such as Ta Van, Lao Chai, Ta Phin (Sa Pa) or Y Ty (Bat Xat) are also ideal choices for tourists.

At this time, villages of Sa Pa are as beautiful as a picture. The weather is cool with the purely blue sky and beautiful trekking routes, making them ideal destinations for tourists to experience. Ms. Wednesday, a tourist from London, England, had her first day of vacation with her friends in Sa Pa. Ta Van village was the stop that she and her friends chose for their trip. Ms. Wednesday shared: I find the scenery around here very beautiful, and the feelings it gives me are so different from those when I was in the city. Therefore, I plan to stay here for a few more days to experience the activities and understand more about the culture and people here.

Many tourists choose trekking on the roads in Sa Pa.

Walking around the roads in Lao Chai and Ta Van, it is not difficult to see groups of tourists trekking and learning about local brocade products. Not only with foreign tourists, but the trend of walking and experiencing the culture of the villages is also popular with many Vietnamese tourists. Mr. Bui Thanh Binh from Hanoi said: I spent 2 days here and had interesting experiences namely: walking, bathing in medicinal leaves of the Red Dao people, enjoying ethnic cuisine. I am very satisfied with this trip.
