Phieng Chi – A highland plain amidst the mountains of Bac Kan. Nestled in the northeastern mountains, Phieng Chi is a highland village of the Red Dao ethnic group, notable for its vast grasslands and relatively flat terrain at an altitude of nearly 1,000 meters. This characteristic gives it its name – "highland plain," a peaceful and expansive countryside amidst the vast forest. The road to Phieng Chi winds through towering mountain ranges. The higher you go, the more expansive the scenery becomes, with green slopes, continuous mountains and forests, and small houses scattered amidst nature. In the early morning, a sea of white clouds blankets the valley; in the evening, the sunset paints the grasslands golden, where herds of horses graze peacefully, creating a scene like a miniature steppe. Beyond its captivating scenery, Phieng Chi also embodies the rich cultural identity of the Red Dao people. Visitors can learn about the lives of the local people, explore traditional houses, experience local cuisine, and learn about farming, animal husbandry, and the use of medicinal plants, all passed down through generations. The Dao people here are also conscious of exploiting forest resources in harmony with nature, contributing to environmental protection. In Phieng Chi, visitors can hike to explore the grasslands, ride horses, pitch tents, camp in the meadows, and enjoy the tranquil mountain scenery. This is also a suitable destination to combine with a trip to explore Ba Be National Park and other northern mountainous regions. With its pristine, expansive beauty and the unique cultural life of the Red Dao people, Phieng Chi is a destination for those who want to reconnect with nature, experience highland life, and enjoy the feeling of being in a "flat land high above."
