A Luoi, a mountainous district that is still quite new to many tourists, is gradually becoming an interesting destination for those who love nature and want to explore the wild beauty of the great mountains. This is a land that is less mentioned than other famous places in Hue, but its uniqueness and simplicity have attracted footsteps looking for new experiences, including Hello Pine - the champion of CheckinHolic Tourism Ambassador 2024.
Sharing the reason for choosing A Luoi as a destination, Hello Pine confided: "A Luoi is a unique place that few people think of when talking about Hue. It is because of that novelty that urged me to come here to explore."
Located 70 km west of Hue City, A Luoi is a fairly new name to many tourists.
Back to the great forest
Before coming to A Luoi, many people often worry about the problem of transportation. However, nowadays, traveling has become much easier. Tourists can take Phuong Trang minibus from Hue South Bus Station, costing only 50,000 VND for one way and taking less than two hours to get there. The road from Hue to A Luoi is not only a journey but also a journey of discovery with majestic mountain and forest scenery, especially when crossing A Co Pass or Mo Qua Bridge - beautiful scenes like "teasers" leading into the main picture of the great forest.

Hello Pine's first impression of A Luoi was the beauty of a land that had not yet been commercialized by tourism. He could not hide his surprise when recounting his experience at Anor waterfall - a majestic two-tiered waterfall, both poetic and powerful. Pine described: "When I reached the foot of Anor waterfall, I felt like I had found the most peaceful place. Below the waterfall is a clear and cool lake, where I wished I could bring a picnic mat and some snacks to spend the whole day listening to the sound of falling water as a healing therapy."
Anor waterfall has both majestic and poetic beauty.
Anor Waterfall is an ideal destination for those who want to immerse themselves in nature and enjoy the cool feeling from the falling water, amidst the vast forests and mountains of Hue.
The Road of Dreams
One of the things that Hello Pine emphasizes when talking about A Luoi is the journey from Hue to here. For those who love adventure and the feeling of freedom on the roads, this journey is the "dream" of backpackers. "Honestly, the road from Hue to A Luoi is the dream road of backpackers. The scenery along the road is really amazing," Pine said with excitement.

Although A Luoi still faces difficulties in transportation, that does not reduce its appeal. For Pine, A Luoi is “a majestic piece of the puzzle” and the missing part to complete the natural picture of Hue - a place with sea, mountains and fertile plains.
Indigenous life and culture
Although he only had two short days in A Luoi, Hello Pine had emotional experiences with the local people. He recounted the story of the warm welcome of the Pa Koh people at the homestay where he stayed: “The welcome of the Pakoh sister at the homestay probably represents the gentleness, simplicity and hospitality of the people here. Although the time was short, I felt the special culture of A Luoi through the conversations and genuine smiles. In this land, visitors can feel the unique culture of the Pa Koh, Ta Oi ethnic groups... through their lifestyle and customs."

Another special feature that visitors should not miss is the lovely homestays hidden in the middle of the forest. From Crown A Luoi Retreat located near Anor waterfall, where there are teaching projects for ethnic children, to Hachi Homestay with a peaceful garden - A Luoi offers visitors an absolutely relaxing space in the middle of nature.
A Promising Journey of Discovery
According to Hello Pine, A Luoi is a destination that has its own beauty in every season. For Hue people, summer is often the ideal time to escape the hot weather and go to A Luoi, where the climate is cool and pleasant. “But I think, no matter the season, A Luoi always brings interesting and unique experiences to visitors,” Pine shared.
The historical, cultural and unique landscape values are enough for A Luoi to be called a special destination in Vietnam.
With its majestic, peaceful and equally wild beauty, A Luoi does not need to be compared with Da Lat or the Northwest. The historical, cultural and unique landscape values are enough for A Luoi to be called a special destination in Vietnam. With the combination of wild natural beauty, peaceful life and unique indigenous culture, A Luoi is a destination not to be missed for those who love adventure travel. Come here once to feel the majesty of the great forest, to listen to the sound of waterfalls and to experience the warmth of the local people.
