Mai Chau – A miniature Sapa

Sapa is well-known for fresh atmosphere, pretty valleys and outstanding culture of ethnic minorities. It is deserved to visit but it’s too far for short trips. Instead of a long tiring trip, come to Mai Chau – the Northern mountainous area and you still have similar experiences with just a 3 -hour drive.

Mai Chau is located around 140km from Hanoi in a peaceful valley sheltered by the outside world by a dramatic ring of hills. Its isolation has allowed a traditional way of life to thrive in a way that you wouldn’t expect so close to the capital city.

A Vietnam holiday in Mai Chau land will be the perfect respite from the craziness of Hanoi. It’s a serene, relaxing rural idyll, and the vivid green paddy fields will match your picture postcard fantasies of the Vietnamese countryside. It’s a good way to meet one of the ethnic minority groups in a setting that’s neither too touristy nor too inaccessibly off-the-beaten-track. And a bamboo stilt house really is a pretty memorable place to spend the night. So, can say: Mai Chau – A miniature Sapa.

A stunning area, a mosaic of rice fields, bamboo groves, and scattered settlements of ethnic White Thai, distantly related to tribes in Thailand, Laos and China. specially, stay at a Thai family house for a night of traditional hospitality and warmth. After dinner, you may have the opportunity to experience Thai traditional dance display – or perhaps just sleep on a mat in a bamboo stilt house, in a large communal house before an early rise for a walk around the valley.

Your trip will definitely make you happy.
