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.

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.
