Tu Le - Fairy Gift
About 250 km from Hanoi, Tu Le is an unmissable stop and also an impressive greeting for visitors on the journey to conquer the enchanting, majestic and beautiful road of the Northwest mountains. Compared to a beautiful girl of the mountainous region, the endless rice fields in Tu Le are embraced by three mountain ranges of Khau Pha, Khau Than and Khau Song, creating shimmering golden strips, full of charm under the gentle autumn breeze. The Thai people here call the golden rice fields a gift from the fairies because according to legend, the Tu Le rice variety was given seeds by fairies who descended to earth and instructed the Thai people to find the right place with suitable soil to plant it, and Tu Le is the chosen land. A strange thing is that until now, although it has been planted in many places, nowhere else has the fragrant, round and sticky rice grains like Tu Le. That's why every year on the rice field trip, the Tu Le sticky rice meal with grilled local pork is always awaited by travelers to enjoy, as an exciting starting point to prepare for the winding, steep but interesting journey ahead.
Mu Cang Chai – Kingdom of terraced fields
From Tu Le, to reach Mu Cang Chai, you have to pass Khau Pha - one of the four great mountain passes in Northern Vietnam. At an altitude of over 1,200 m above sea level with a length of 40 km, Khau Pha is the longest, most dangerous and also the most beautiful pass on Highway 32. From afar, Khau Pha Pass looks like a smooth silk strip, winding around the overlapping mountain ranges and then weaving through the wild wilderness. After a moment of ecstasy mixed with a bit of suspense because the pass is quite dangerous, a whole paradise of terraced fields gradually opens up before your eyes. At this time, Mu Cang Chai is like a hand-embroidered painting beautiful down to the smallest detail, poetic, majestic, captivating people's hearts. More than 2,300 hectares of terraced fields, of which 500 hectares belong to the three communes of La Pan Tan, Che Cu Nha, and Dze Xu Phinh, have been recognized as one of the most unique landscapes in Vietnam and have been ranked as a national scenic relic since 2007. Amidst the "golden sea" of ripe rice colors, the fragrance of the highlands is so fragrant, lingering on the sweat-soaked shirts of the H'Mong, Thai, and Ha Nhi ethnic people... then following them home, clinging to the mill to create delicious, sticky rice and green rice grains. Having the opportunity to set foot in the villages here, you can see the simple, ordinary life that is so close and familiar to the hospitable locals. Suddenly, you feel more deeply the effort, diligence, and hard work over the generations to form the steps reaching up to the sky. Therefore, every autumn, travelers from far away are busy on their way, not simply to visit the beautiful scenery but to put it more affectionately, to visit the rice fields, like visiting a close friend. And then, when they are with their friend, even though they are not far away, they think of the day they will return…
