Muong Hoa Valley
Crossing many misty high mountain ranges of the Northwest mountains and forests, arriving in Sapa, visitors will enter the Muong Hoa valley far away from the real world. Like a beautiful picture woven by the talented hands of nature - Muong Hoa creates melodious sounds of a peaceful place amidst the vastness. Located about 8km from Sapa town and in the Southeast, Muong Hoa valley belongs to Hau Thao commune, Muong Hoa. Every year, this place attracts many tourists because of its charming natural beauty. To reach this valley, visitors need to cross a pass located along a quite high mountain range with many steep roads that require steady steering. For many people who love this foggy town of Sapa, Muong Hoa valley is like a specialty with its brilliant highlights, like a highlight amidst the silvery mist of the mist and the whiteness of the clouds and sky here. . But to enjoy this unique specialty, it takes a lot of effort: you have to fly high, choose a fulcrum halfway up the mountain to fully enjoy the panorama of that magical green maze. In the past, tourists liked to climb halfway up the mountain to reward themselves with that breathtaking view. But not everyone has the strength to diligently hunt for beauty. Therefore, this rice season, when there is the Muong Hoa mountain climbing train, the opportunity to take in the view of an entire green slope from an altitude of 1,600 m becomes the reason why many domestic and foreign tourists come to the Northwest. . When talking about Muong Hoa valley, people often think of the two most distinctive and outstanding beauties: the rolling, winding terraced fields and the mysterious ancient stone beach. Sapa has many terraced fields, but the most beautiful and largest is Muong Hoa valley. Only once seeing the terraced fields here can you understand why people voted Sapa's terraced fields as one of the most beautiful terraced fields in the world. Terraced fields in Muong Hoa valley lie winding along the hillsides, forming a beautiful tilted pan shape. Even in the pouring water season, it still has a beauty that captivates visitors. In the summer when the rice is growing, the terraced fields here are full of vitality, gentle like a green silk strip winding in the middle of nature. In the fall, the whole valley seems to be wearing a shiny yellow coat of rice in full bloom, ripe and shiny as if it were plated with gold. A scene like the stairs to heaven, not found everywhere.
