“Y Ty park” is a must-visit check-in stop. Simply a small hut amidst a specious land, “Y Ty park” is a favorite gathering place of ethnic children and where farmers would normally take a short rest after an exhausting day. Thus, the small park is an ideal place for visitors to stop by, take good photos and above all, mingle with local people and learn more about their way of living.
