Many tourists call Sin Suoi Ho village a picture painted by heaven, with lush green primeval forests, the iconic “trình tường” house and colorful orchids, and peach blossoms gardens.
According to Duyen, Lai Chau province is developing its tourism with two main groups: adventure tourism and community tourism. The most suitable time for visitors to enjoy mountain climbing is from March to April.
Visitors will have the chance to mingle with local people, listen to the stories of their daily lives which will surely give a much closer insight into the local culture.
