Over 60 km from Hoa Binh Town along Highway 6, you will take steps in Mai Chau on the height of 1,000m at water level. From the top of Thung Nhuoi mountain pass and Vang valley, Mai Chau comes up to your sight looping itself among numerous mountains and hills.

Mountain villages with piled houses will gradually appear in different height along mountain slopes. The deep blue smoke of cooking fire from piled houses skims in the air. Rice fields are green and fresh like a girl in her prime of youth, and shiny in harvest season. Pleasant and murmuring streams gently circle around mountain villages.

If you wish to harmonize into daily activities of Thai people, you are cordially invited to Lac villages, Van villages and stay over night there. Night camp- fire will make you joyful, special wine will make you drunk and the songs of village’s art teams will bring you to a fanciful world of Tay Bac forests. In the morning when all villages are vague in dew, herd of buffalo and bulls noisily move their steps to fields. Small groups of Thai women carry their products to fair. Have you ever attended a traditional fair? All products made by Thai women will be your best souvenirs to your relatives and friends. In Mai Chau, many villages and families preserve their tradition of making brocade. To satisfy your curiosity, take a walk around the village to watch Thai women making brocade on their weaving looms, artists making pan-pipes and carving silver pipe, etc.
