Mai Chau valley and Ban Lac Village, Vietnam

Mai Chau valley and Ban Lac Village, Vietnam

Mai Chau is located in Hoa Binh province, approximately 135 km from Hanoi. From the top of Cun Mountain, one can admire the superb panorama of Mai Chau surrounded by a green valley and stilt houses. The valley between Hoa Binh and Mai Chau is notable for being an unspoiled and picturesque scene of rice fields and jagged mountains. Mai Chau valley is a perfect place to experience Vietnam's village life in a remote setting and get a deeper immersion into the ethnic communities and to understand how they live from a real life perspective. There's minimal traffic, and the rural soundtrack is defined by gurgling irrigation streams and birdsong. Masterful weavers producing plenty of traditional-style clothing and souvenirs. Locals do not employ strong-arm sales tactics here: polite bargaining is the norm.
