This park somewhat made me feel that i was in Thailand....interesting finds. But the place is overly crowded with tourists, both foreign n local dressed in traditional Thai costumes, taking poses at every nook and corner, detering genuine visitors from visiting the various highlights in the park.

Compact park with elephants, exotic birds, plants, shiny architecture. Great for a half-day outing.

Is a really nice park to walk around and spend the evening, local tourist mostly came here to take photo. Is a really big park so worth it! Similar culture to Thailand

Manting Park is a beautiful visit, magnificently adorned with gardens and temples. In Xishuangbanna South China close to the Laotian border, it is truly a remarkable experience.

Even though it's on the tourist route, this Buddhist temple with park attached is a must-see if you are in Xishuangbanna.

Nice park, very beautiful flowers and trees, lake, with cosy little resting places. We especially appreciated the tittle cottages, where you can sit with 4-6 people and have a table and a roof. Also we fed the fish, so many fish in that pond that they jumped over each other when feeding. That's worth to see. Boat hiring also possible and quite charming. We enjoyed elephant and birds show. We didn't had the impression the elephants where treat good, so one point deduction. The show was okay.

A beautiful park and temple complex. You can see it all in an hour or two. There's a nice cafe midway to cool off in. There is a dress code for the temple part. Ladies be prepared by taking a wrap or a shawl or you might be disappointed (and you can't get out of the park without walking all the way back - there is an exit via the temple.

(Reviewing based on 2 years ago) I don't know if it's because I read the book "Black Beauty" a few weeks earlier, but the elephant ride place as shown in the cover photo of this Google page looked like they were being put through slave labour and some seemed severely malnourished, compared to the elephants that were roaming freely nearby.

If you have any soul or compassion for animals, do not go here. This place has two elements: 1. It provides a genuine protected area for true wild elephants to roam. 2. It is a tourist attraction which exploits suffering rehabilitated elephants. I saw zero wild elephants on the walk through the reserve, and it's no surprise. Elephants are naturally shy and avoidant of humans, and tour guides have screaming tinny speakers to speak to their groups. It is overcrowded, and if I was an elephant I would have no interest in the noisy gawping humans who have invaded their territory. There are plastic bottles over the forest floor, dropped by tourists from the elevated walkway, and not picked up. The worst bit is this claims to be a sanctuary but exploits these highly intelligent and emotional creatures. In the information on the way in, it tells of rescuing the creatures from various horrible situations. These are the elephants that remain in the direct "care" of the "sanctuary". These elephants are paraded, literally in front of very large crowds in noisy environments. At the feeding station, I saw a row of elephants and an opportunity to buy a fruit basket to feed them. As I observed, the elephant clearly had had enough, and attempted to walk away. The mahout shouted at the elephant and it was forced to return to it's place as an overfed tourist attraction. I saw elephants who were swaying, usually a clear sign of trauma in the elephants who - unbelievably - were being disciplined for their natural trauma response. Finally, the elephants are made to perform in a circus style with very loud loudspeakers blaring and a gawping crowd of hundreds. If you know about the concept of "crushing" elephants, then the only way these "rescued" elephants would be doing this behaviour is through crushing. They were made to spray water at tourists, and rear on their hind legs, and many other tricks, while the staff member spoke about elephants' "care". I felt very sad going, and witnessing these majestic animals reduced to the whims of human entertainment. I have lived in China for a while, and while it leads the world in many areas, China's animal welfare standards are poor in comparison to some neighbouring countries, and this place is no exception. If you have any empathy, do not give your money to this veneer of animal welfare.

We were there at 09:00 sharp, and there was already a lot of people in the park. Unfortunately we didn’t see any elephants during our visit, but it only means they have somewhere to retreat. At 10:30 the park was full of noisy and misbehaving tourists, and guides with loudspeakers. How sad it was to see all the plastic and garbage, lying along the footpath through the forest. Mass tourism and greed have destroyed this pristine spot.

This is not a free space for the elephants. Only shows for people and tourists. They say they have the elephants free and with the less contact with humans but is not true. Don’t go there please, do not contribute to these dirty and inhuman business

Very good tiktok douyin profile : )

(Translated by Google) This is a unique place in China where you can interact with and feed elephants (Original) 这是中国独一无二的地方，可以与大象互动，喂食

(Translated by Google) Although there are elephant performances that are not very humane, this is a protected area mainly established to protect elephants. From December to March every year, it is easy to see wild elephants in the forest in the early morning and evening. Walk along the plank road or ropeway to the end and wait patiently for a while and it will appear. (Original) 虽然有大象表演不那么人道，但是这里主要还是为了保护大象建立的保护区。每年12月份至3月份，清晨和傍晚在森林里很容易能看到野生大象。沿着栈道或索道走到底，耐心等待一会儿就会出现。

One of the biggest garden in the world with over 12000 living spices of plants. Many plants are rare and hardly to be seen in other parts of the world. Need lots of walks, be prepared! And it will be more fun if hire a local guide to explain all the plants to you.

Very nice park with a lot of interesting plants. Definitely worth a visit.

With an AAAAA tourist rank, this is the biggest tropical garden in China, which is always a must-visit in China! I have lived here for my graduate program, and I couldn't be happier to explore the place everyday!

Quite expensive at around 100 RMB per person and a further 40 RMB for the electric shuttle bus which takes visitors around the extensive site. The gardens are filled with a wide array of tropical and sub-tropical plants and there also exists an untouched tropical forest area. Monkeys can also be seen swinging from trees in some parts of the park. Also worth a visit is the ethnic people's museum which houses examples of how some of the many ethnic groups that inhabit Yunnan used to live.

very nice

Worth visiting

(Translated by Google) Give it 5 stars! The service is very good. The garden is very big and there is transportation in the park to take tourists to various places. Because I don’t know much about plants, I can only watch the excitement. If anyone is beautiful, look at them and take some photos. There are many birds in the park, but unfortunately these birds are very sensitive and difficult to photograph. It's quite far from the city, but it's worth spending a day to go there, and you won't regret it. (Original) 给个5星！ 服务很好，园子很大有园区交通带游客前往各个地点参观。 因为不太懂得植物只能看看热闹，谁漂亮就多看看多拍几张照片。园区里面鸟类很多，可惜这些鸟特别敏感很难拍到。 这里距离市区很远，不过专门花一天时间跑一趟是很值得的，不会后悔。

love the bright red paint and long stairs!

(Translated by Google) It seems to be the largest Confucian temple in Southwest China, but I'm really not a fan of Confucian architecture like temples!

(Translated by Google) The most boring tour, so tiring. Went to a few places around there, then visited here. There was nothing else besides the ancient house, I don't understand.

An interesting place to visit with access by boat or by foot. There are stalactite and stalagmite formations throughout the caves which are beautifully lit up. Some resemble animals and are named as such. Sometimes referred to as Swift caves as well as Swallow caves, the place was once the place where nests were harvested for bird's nest soup. At the entrance to the caves are the names of the intrepid climbers who once had to scale the high cliffs to collect the nests. Nowadays, while the birds still nest in the caves, collecting the nests, hanging signs and climbing is very much put on for the tourists. Each August 8th, 9th and 10th the “Bird Nest Festival” is held. Some local people will climb up the precipitous cliffs to fetch nests. During the three days, many people gather here to attend the risky but exciting event. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

Worth visiting, god's creature. However, it is not easy to get there by public transportation. Self-driving is highly recommended.

it's a magic

Ok

(Translated by Google) I am grateful to those who go out to retrieve the swallow's nest (without a lifeline) despite knowing the risks. Some people lost their lives.

Excellent experience and very well managed attraction. Weather clears up and becomes overcast by the minute some days so don't worry if it's misty as it might clear up. Go with the combo tickets that get you all the cable cars and funiculars so you're not exhausted.

Wow! Amazing! Excellent! Still in awe and very greatful that i had the chance to visit this place. I am really amazed how they were able to build this place. From the Sapa sun plaza station, to the monobrail, to the cable car up to the very end. Views, people, experience are all 10 stars. We also bought the package with buffet food via klook so everything is included. Really great experience! Will be back definitely. Just be mindful of weather. Make sure to check ahead of time. If it is foggy, you won''t see anything at all. You must be ready and prepared to be able to go up. Oxygen level here are very low and can be tiring and hard to breathe when walking and going up.

Can be very crowded with tourists as people tend to push each other when boarding the cable car which annoyed me. It's better to go when it's not foggy as during my visit I can't have a nice clear view. Stairs can be steep and strenuous for some. Be prepared to stop by tourists that are busy with photo taking. I think this place can be a bit overrated but I quite like the beautiful garden before going into the cable car station

Amazing place to visit. I hiked all the way up, and wow… it’s a lot of stairs. You need to be in decent shape because the stair part is definitely the hardest. I would have preferred a normal mountain trail, but there’s only one way up, so you just have to take it as it is. I did the hike with a guide and a group, but honestly, I don’t think it was worth it. The guide doesn’t really do anything besides walk with you and give you a very basic lunch at the second camp, you can bring something much better yourself. The trail is super clear anyway. There’s only one main path, so you’re not going to get lost. And if you ever feel unsure, just follow the electric line. Before the first camp, there are two small paths, but look for the knife marks on the trees, that’s the correct one. Going up took me about 6 hours including breaks and a 1-hour lunch. Going down is actually pretty easy if you don’t rush, and it takes around 4 hours. You really don’t need the cable car. Just make sure you bring a light because it gets dark around 5 PM. If you start at 7 AM, you should be back around 6 PM. And one more thing, arrange a driver or have your scooter ready. When you finish the hike, there’s no one around 😅.

Very good experience that go up to above the cloud, nice view and good whether with sun light and only 9' degrees, enjoy the moment on top, but the only thing is people mountain people sea, and the train and cable car for transportation to go up make us Q for very long, otherwise overall quite a enjoyable moment

A magical place built in the mountains from Sapa. Great place to visit Buy tickets online to save a lot of waiting around. Best to go earlier in the day as well.

5 stars for the „view“ (if u have good weather), the landscape atmosphere at the summit. 0 stars for everything else. This is commercialization at its finest. From the first to the last second, it's all about selling and make money. It's set up like Ikea in europe. Once you're inside, you have to follow the paths and there are no shortcuts. The Wow Pass for €16 at least prevents long queues at the individual rides. We started at the bottom on a Saturday around 10:30 a.m., because at 8:30/9:00 it was full of people. We thought we had waited for the first bus rush. But that was stupid of us. Next point the cable car close in two days for maintenance. Unfortunately this info was not posted very well. The better time to go up is 2:30 p.m. or shortly before the last train goes up. When it's busy, you end up in long queues at several points, so that a good hour and a half or more can pass without you even getting on the cable car. It's a bad Disneyland at 3000m. :( it’s a shame. The weather itself was not good. A lots of clouds. But this is part of the game on mountains ;) We book the tickets before online @ klook

Been on several cable cars in the past, but not one could compare to the fansipan legend cable car. Your cable car travelling through valleys and going up to a misty cloud hidden peaks evokes images of wuxia novels and the journey to immortality past human concerns. Watching yourself rise above visible signs of human habitation, roads, and cities is a philosophical experience in itself, and the descent is also equally fascinating. For our less fantastically inclined friends, the distance covered and time spent on the ride is much higher than most cable cars. The cable car goes much faster than initially apparent as well. Even as you watch the way you zip from one pylon to the other, watching the incoming cable car makes the speed which both cable cars are actually travelling easier to see. We shared our cable car with a party of Vietnamese elders doing some sort of pilgrimage, the peak seems to be a significant Buddhist destination, and I can see why

The sunworld fanspian legend is truly one of Vietnam's produest achievements .a seamless blend of breathtaking natural beauty andworld class engineering.Built by the renowned austrian ropeway company Doppelmayr in collaboration with the sun world group ,the cable car system 🚠 here is one of its kind , gracefully gliding through the stunning fansipan mountain range ,the roof of Indochina. The journey begins at the sun plaza (sapa station),where a monorail takes you from Sapa town to Muong Hoa Station. This short ride is nothing short of magical passing through lush valleys and offering panoramic views of terraced fields and misty mountain peaks.Once you arrive a short 300 meters walk awaits you, but it's filled with charm.Along the way, you’ll find beautiful photo points, including the Love Garden and Animal Garden, as well as vibrant traditional dance performances that add a cultural touch to the experience. Tourists can even join in these dances, creating unforgettable memories. From Haong Lien station the real adventure begins .The cable car 🚠 journey streching over 6kms is a breathtaking ride through the clouds.As you ascend, you’ll be treated to incredible views of the lush green Hoang Lien Son forest, cascading waterfalls, and drifting fog that creates a dreamlike atmosphere. It’s a sight that stays in your heart forever. After this scenic journey, you’ll reach the Pagoda and Cultural~Spiritual Complex, often referred to as Point 2. Here, you can stop for a delicious meal at one of the restaurants overlooking the mountains, while soaking in the serene surroundings. The majestic Buddha statue, elegant pagodas, and peaceful gardens make this a place of spiritual calm and beauty. To reach the fanspian Indochina peak (3.143 meters) the highest point in Vietnam you cns either climb the stone steps or take the Tram.The tram ride is simply spectacular, gliding through the mist and offering stunning views of the mountain temples. Once you reach the summit, the views are beyond words, an ocean of clouds rolling over the rugged peaks of Sa Pa. Standing here feels like standing above the world. On your way down, take time to explore the Buddha Temple and Pagoda complex, and don’t miss tasting Sa Pa’s famous cinnamon cake before heading back via the tram and cable car. Overall the sunworld fanspian legend experience is truly a once in a lifetime journey .a perfect combination of nature, culture and innovation. From start to finish, every moment fills you with awe. You’ll fall deeply in love with the Fansipan Legend mountains, the engineering marvel of the cable car, and the serene charm of Sa Pa.

This is one of the most memorable and magnificent cable car rides I ever had. The station is just beautiful and looks picture perfect. The ride provides you with the views of rice terrace gardens , lush gree. Valleys and mountain vistas. You can also spot some waterfalls and distant landscapes. Overall it is a magical cable car ride. If you are a one family and want to sit together, you can inform at the start of the ride. They shall arrange for the same.

Mind-blowing. Hats off to the engineers and the team behind all the work that went into making this dream like experience a reality. If you visit vietnam and don't experience this, your trip is incomplete. I am still wondering the amount of effort that went into completing this project. You get to witness land, rail, air all kind of transport in one journey 🙏. The safety norms and staff are incredible. We travelled during the peak holiday season yet didn't face any problem. The fee is considerate. One should definitely carry warm clothes and good pair of shoes if you intend to trek to the top. There are many food stalls and drink stations so you need not worry about snacking.

Such a cool experience! This holds the world record for longest cable car ride and highest change in elevation for a cable car! CHECK THE WEATHER! Because the views can be insane from the top on a clear day, but if it’s really cloudy, you’ll be lucky to see your hand at the top! We went on a partly cloudy day and had partial views, but still so worth it! Once you get to the top via the cable car, you have the choice to climb the stairs the rest of the way or take a funicolare to the top. We did the stairs and it was great! Beware, it’s still about 30-45 mins of stairs and is a work out for sure, but it’s a really cool experience! Check it out if you’re in Sapa!

Spectacular views as long as the clouds don't roll in. Super high tech cable car system, clouds managed reasonably efficiently. Amazing photo opportunities, although nothing organic or historically interesting. Everything was built for the tourists.

Loved this place, the topiary and landscaping was heavenly, the Succulents (Cacti) landscaping was simply mind-blowing, tastefully done, plenty of excellent and unique photo opportunities. The altitude and the pleasantly chill atmosphere was a delight. One word of advice - please visit on a sunny day to get the best of cable car experience and 600 steps climb (or train plus 300 steps) view from the top.

Omg. What an experience. Loved our few hours here. First up. The people. I could sit and watch them for hours. So interesting. Great shopping here. Great prices. But be prepared to haggle. Starting point is usually under half what they first say. If you go on the Saturday you will see cows, water buffalo etc being sold.

We stopped Here as part of a day trip. Supposed to be the biggest market around and it's only on a Sunday. It was good to see how the locals trade but there were a few not so nice sights such as pigs in small cages, blood from slaughtered animals in buckets and on the road side and many other animals in small cages. But this is their way of life and it's why you travel to see other cultures and how they live. Also the local tribes are selling souvenirs and vegetables grown locally but a lot of it is very same same. Still a good experience and definitely worth it as part of the day out.

This is Bac Ha Market for every Sunday. It is big and have many area ( Vegetables, animal ( Pig, dog, chicken bird ( Singing bird) Buffalo Market ( Buffalo, cow and horse in Market on Saturday morning in Bac Ha town).; food ( Hmong people, they happy to eat at the Market 😋 and many kind of food ( colorful sticky rice 🌾 from the leaf, sticky rice cake, noodles... Phở, Thắng Cố... And rice, corn right..). The ethnic go go market is the most is Hmong, then Tay, Nung, Phu La, Black Dao... Cloths... Many many ☺. So maybe spend at least 3 hours to discover all the place. Mr Huy Trung from Huy Trung Homestay ( Bac Ha).

About 2.5 hrs from Sapa, only on early Sunday. It is a very local market, so don't expect as many tourist souvenirs as in Sapa or Hanoi. Worth 1 -2 hours walking around and people watching.

🌟🌟🌟🌟 Colorful and authentic cultural experience The Bac Ha Sunday Market offers a vibrant and authentic glimpse into the local culture of ethnic minority groups in northern Vietnam. It’s full of colors, traditional clothes, handmade goods, and local foods. A great place to take photos, try something new, and observe the local way of life. However, it can get quite crowded and touristy, especially after 9 AM. Some parts of the market feel more commercial than cultural, with aggressive selling at times. Still, it’s a worthwhile experience if you visit early and keep an open mind. Great for cultural exploration and photography lovers!

Quite an experience visiting this weekly market. Long drive to get there but worth the visit. Large market spread over a large area selling just about everything! Lots of local produce, medicinal products, local ethnic outfits (being bought by local people, not just for tourists). Food and animal sections. Avoid the animal section if you would be upset by poor conditions for the animals.

Local Market providing basic essentials and foods for the local community.

🌸 Message of Appreciation for Our Guide, Ms. Nia Nghia (Zonitrip) 🌸 We are a group of seven friends who recently completed a Ha Giang Hiking Trip in Vietnam with Zonitrip, and we feel truly fortunate to have Ms. Nia Nghia as our guide. Nia is an exceptional guide — proactive, cheerful, and full of humor. She knows her job very well and always takes the initiative to check with locals whenever she’s unsure about something. Throughout our journey, she anticipated challenges ahead and was always there to lend a helping hand. Though petite in size, Nia is full of energy and enthusiasm, even after a long day of trekking! What impressed us most is her deep passion for her work. Along the way, she shared with great warmth and insight about the history, culture, and traditions of the different ethnic groups we encountered. Her passion and compassion made our trip not only fun but also meaningful. We are deeply grateful for her dedication and care. We will definitely return to Vietnam — and when we do, we’ll be sure to have Nia as our guide again! Highly recommended for anyone planning a Ha Giang adventure in Vietnam! 🇻🇳❤️

Had a smooth and lovely trip to Taxua mountain. Great communication with Nghia who was able to get all the transport / guide / accommodation in proper order. Zonihome is a lovely place to stay with their wonderful family and 3 dogs and 2 kitties. Lucky to have great weather to see the sea of clouds. Everyone should get in touch with Zonitrip if u are coming to Tram Tau Taxua!

One of The Most Memorable Parts of Our Trip! We absolutely LOVED this three day, two night trip with Nghia! We started from Hanoi and made our way up north to Mu Cang Chai. We spent the first day trekking to a tea farm up in the mountains and spent the first night at a homestay. We biked through rice fields, met locals and learned a lot about the community. We trekked up in Mu Chang Chai the second day via motorbike, walking and met locals, including our tour guide. As a traveler here, you need to be flexible and willing to experience the trip, even when the conditions aren't ideal. It rained some on the second day, and was very muddy, but I think that gave the day an even better memory. Our meals were also very yummy and we were able to experience all sorts of local delights.

The 4 days spent with the tour organized by Zonitrip were truly exceptional! We visited places that would otherwise have been impossible to visit independently. Everything organized to perfection, from the driver to the places to sleep, from meals with local food to overnight stays. A true immersion in Vietnamese culture and customs! If you also add friendliness, fun and wonderful evenings together to all this, this is ZoniTrip! Great! Thanks for everything

Nghia from Zonitrip tailored our 6 nights trip to North Vietnam to our needs. She knew the hikes and their rigor very well and she was very careful in planning our daily adventures. This was the BEST cultural experience for us and it was enlightening to visit authentic remote villages where no other tourists go!

Booked 1 day fanispan trekking for 2 pax with this company. guide and car picked us up at the hotel 7am, on time. guide and porter assigned to us named Susu/ Su was very good, took good care of us. Finished 12.2KM of trekking trail with good pace and sufficient rest stopps. Su also helped to carry 2 x 1.5L water, lunch, bananas and mandarin oranges. Pls tip ur porter/ guides generously, they work really hard.

“Very great trip to mount Fansipan !” 5 of 5 starsReviewed 5 days ago NEW Thanks Zonitrip for this great experience ! We climbed the mount Fansipan, the highest point in Vietnam. We were in Yen Bai which is 3hours from Hanoi by bus. Nghia organised everything for us, as dropped us on the Highway at midnight to catch the bus to Sapa ! We were only four in our group, and we started to hike the first day and we slept in the base camp (2800m). Good atmosphere and good people over there ! The guide cooked a great meal for us and we spent good time drinking some local alcohol and beers (you can find beers in the hut but you have to bring your own alcohol wink emoticon The day after we started to hike around 6.30am for 2 hours until the top of the Fansipan. Unfortunately it was really cloudy, like almost every day so no regrets ! We decided to go down by the cable car (600 000 dng) cause of the rain. We had time to visit around Sapa and to meet some locals before to take the bus. The city is really nice even if it's extremely touristy... We went back in Yen Bai around 8pm and Nghia was waiting for us with her husband to dropped us at home. That was 2 really nice days ! Thank you so much for everything ! I highly recommend Zonitrip !

No admission fees but you need to know where to go. LOL. We were so fortunate to meet with the tea plantation owners today!! They spent hours chatting with us about the oolong tea harvesting and processing and the growth of the plantation over the past 25 years. The oolong tea here are shipped to Taiwan, where then repackaged, rebranded and shipped to Japan and Europe. We got to taste test four different types of oolong teas. There are about ten different types that are grown here and are harvested at four different times a year. Best oolong teas we ever had!! We bought different teas to bring back home as gifts. The wife walked us to many beautiful spots around the plantation and took many beautiful pictures for us. Both husband and wife were super sweet and friendly!! So grateful for their hospitality!!!

Great place! You can drive to the top of the tea fields

An Oolong tea plantation that mainly exports to Taiwan and Japan. The owner, Phu Hau, welcomed us warmly even though we walked in without any prior reservation. He was really happy and enthusiastic to share with us his passion for Oolong tea, and how he built up the business 30 years ago from a dream that started from a trip to Taiwan, to 3 plantations covering a total of 175 hectares today! He also let us try for free all the different types of Oolong tea that they produce, some of which were not even for sale, all without trying to get us to buy anything. It will be easier to converse with him if you can speak Vietnamese or Mandarin.

One way to describe the experience here would be "Fine wine philosophy applied to tea production". The owners have been tilling this land for over 2 decades and the hard work and dedication shine through the quality of their product. Operating to a self imposed, strict and very high standard, you can feel their genuine passion, respect and love for the tea plants and the land upon which they grow. Their tea varieties are second to none when it comes to taste and aroma. What makes this place truly stand out for anyone, not just tea buffs, is the true hospitality and kindness of the people, the priceless knowledge and wisdom they impart.

It's amzing hills of tea & friendly minorities with food and leizures & lands of flowers in all four seasons during the year The weather is so nice at any time of the year and during the day!

Amazing experience with friendly owner. He has won multiple awards in Taiwan and China . As a tea enthusiast, I find him very knowledgable in the types of Tea leaves and brewing methods.

Tea tasting, mountain views, looked at the tea drying process

An unforgettable experience in Ha Giang! The Tea House of Baiyue Tribes offers not only delicious local teas but also a deep dive into the traditions of the Baiyue people. The peaceful setting amidst stunning mountains makes it the perfect spot to relax. The staff are incredibly welcoming, making the visit even more special. Highly recommend for anyone exploring the area!

I had the extraordinary opportunity to study at the Tea House of Baiyue Tribes, and it has truly left an indelible mark on me. Stepping into this cultural enclave, I was immediately enveloped in the wisdom and traditions of ancient ages, conveyed through the elegant art of tea culture. The ambiance of the tea house, with its traditional architecture and serene gardens, provided a perfect setting for self-reflection and learning. The experience not only enriched my understanding of tea traditions but also imparted invaluable lessons on building personality, reputation, and connecting with individuals from diverse nationalities. Meeting people from different parts of the world within the welcoming embrace of the tea house opened my eyes to the beauty of cultural exchange. This journey has become an unforgettable chapter in my life, and I am grateful for the Tea House of Baiyue Tribes for being a custodian of such profound heritage. I wholeheartedly recommend this enchanting sanctuary to anyone seeking to immerse themselves in the tapestry of ancient wisdom and connect with a global community through the shared love of tea.

I had stayed here for a short time, but the experience here was amazing. You can learn how the tea is processed, and it was super interesting for someone like me, who is not specifically into tea. We got to see the tribes who picked tea, processed the tea together, and enjoyed many cups of tea with the people who stayed in this house. It was great meeting all the people here, and it was a difinately highlight of my Vietnam trip!

Had a great time experiencing different teas native to the area, Trishan and his students run a wonderful teahouse and he is more than happy to provide suggestions on where to visit the surrounding area, including the Ha Giang loop. Lucky for me, he was also a guide and I was able to see some unique parts of the loop not easily available to the public.

Our experience at the Tea House of Baiyue Tribes was nothing short of extraordinary. Over the course of a month, my girlfriend and I had the privilege of working with local children, teaching them English, and in return, we learned so much about the rich culture and unique tea traditions of the region. Trinh Son's hospitality was exceptional, his deep knowledge and passion for the local culture made our stay truly unforgettable. We are incredibly grateful to him, as well as to Thuy, Sinh, and Saw, who all played a significant role in making our time there so special. This was an experience we will carry with us for the rest of our lives.

A truly wonderful place. I was fortunate to spend 5 weeks here and learned so much about traditional vietnamese tea, as well as the culture of the tea-growing ethnic minorities. I’d recommend visiting, even just for a few hours if you are passing by on your way to ha giang. You will be met with great hospitality and have a truly unique experience. And of course you will drink some of the best tea you have tasted!

Our unique experience in the rustic mountains of Ha Giang was hosted by Tri Shan who runs the Tea House of Bai Yue Tribes. We were delighted with the quality of tea he offered us. Tri Shan brought us to isolated homes in far-flung villages where we received warm hospitality from families. He had helped many of them to progress educationally and economically. We recommend that visitors to Vietnam travel up long & winding roads for a stay at the Tea House of Bai Yue Tribes in Ha Giang.

Ok

We enjoyed our time in Ba Vi National Park . We hired a tour guide but that wasn’t necessary. You just need a way to get there. We just did the walks with the stairs (about 1200 on one side and about 650 on the other) so you can definitely get a great work out. There are several temples along the way up that are active. It’s so impressive how many people walk up to make offerings and pray.

Nice park for a weekend wander and some ok trail running - best run is still up the main road to the french runs and the mountain temple. The park is still wild in some places - nice to be in nature and close to the city.

Excellent day hike approximately 65 km from French Quarter in Hanoi. I enjoyed the clean air on a foggy morning. There were very few people and vehicles as I walked up the road and then took the trails to the old prison and the church ruins. It is a rain forest in parts... could hear the rain falling in the deep forest- but it was not raining on me - very peaceful. It was a slippery day and I was happy I brought some hiking sticks... definitely worth the trip 👌

Ba Vì National Park is an ideal destination for nature lovers and explorers. It offers a refreshing green space, fresh air, and a diverse ecosystem. Visitors can explore notable sites such as Thượng Temple, the Ancient Church, or conquer the Tản Viên Peak. Especially in late autumn, the blooming wild sunflowers make the landscape even more vibrant. However, the entrance fee does not quite match the deteriorating road conditions, as some areas have landslides and large sinkholes. Additionally, the shops around the area have very high prices, so visitors should prepare their supplies in advance to avoid buying them on-site.

It's national park in the mountain. There is the gate and ticket counter in the beginning. They charge 60K for entrance, and 10K for parking? at 1100m points? Anyway on the way of heading to the 1100m point, there are some view points. It's high enough to see all landview from the mountain. It's worth to come here even just driving. Anyway please be carefull. It was very cold on the top of the mountain. You should bring your jacket here. I visited May 2025. It was cold on top. By the way, there is a shop at the 1100m point, so good to have Hao Hao noodle there Lol.

The road access to the National Park is under construction, but if you go at lunchtime, when all the workers are eating or sleeping, there will be no delays. Beautiful place, I went there to get off the beaten track and not have to hear motorcycles and cars driving and Honking. ( it’s about an hour away from Hanoi. )

This is a lush, green nature reserve offering cool weather, scenic hiking trails, and rich biodiversity. Visitors can explore a variety of ecosystems, from tropical forests to higher-altitude environments. The park is home to ancient trees, rare plant species, and diverse wildlife. French Colonial Ruins: Scattered within Ba Vi National Park are ruins from the French colonial era, including old churches, villas, and resorts, which give the area a unique historical atmosphere. Temple of Tan Vien: Located near the top of the Ba Vi mountain, this temple is dedicated to one of Vietnam’s four immortals, Tan Vien (the God of the Mountain), making it a significant cultural and religious site.

Need to stay here a few nights, nice and cool.

came all the way to tam dao for the national park but was greatly disappointed. walked about 800m in to reach a “security post” where it was just one lady mending it & she didn’t allow us in saying we needed advanced registration. but there was absolutely no one there. horrible experience

Xa Huong lake in Tam Dao national park is tranquil and picturesque. You can hike for 2 hours (around 6 km) to reach the stream and a flat land for camping.

As same as Sapa, the weather in here so magical. We can see thick fog everywhere, it comes down and lifts suddenly. In this weather, that very suitable to walk throught the light wind or stay in door in the pub to watch the people walk by the window.. Be sure to bring for you some liqueur, enjoy the music and relax for a while.No one will hurry you!

Tam Dao it is good!!

Just a place to visit in a day. When i was there it was too foggy, so the place is kind of Ok. Not great.. but you can explore some exotic forest foods in the resturants.

Sight seeing with lots of fun activities available... It is in center of the hill station surrounded by All hotels and restraurants, and even by hills.. must go place Beautifully designed.. Local vietnamese food is also available... One important thing.. only one atm is available near park.. another is very far 2-3 km down to this place.. so please keep some cash before coming this place...

November 2024: the museum is dying. No visitors, all dusty, no audio guide is available. No site map. Toilet is awful, not maintained. Sad. The idea of the museum is great, the exhibitions are amazing , very interesting. Probably lack of money makes this museum stagnant

Went there 30 minutes before closing time. This is quite a big place so 30 minutes is definitely not enough to truly appreciate the exhibits.

One of the best museum we have been to! A lot of useful information about the ethenic groups in Vietnam. Highly recommended!

Been excited to learn more about Vietnams ethnic minorities - large museum with a lot of information and artifacts. Paid extra for English audio only to learn it’s an app you have to download and the wifi doesn’t work inside… skip it, there are English descriptions inside on everything. One of the strangest museum experiences I’ve had as it was very hot inside and out and we were the only ones visiting at that time, giving all the mannequins an extremely eerie vibe.

Great museum to visit. sadly there are not many visitors here, I went there on Sat and there are no one except for me and my friends in the museum. The museum is well presented with informative knowledge of 54 ethics groups of VN. Highly recommend to go here and experience

Good information to visit except it was too hot

One of my favorite places in Thai Nguyen. My favorite Vietnamese foods are at their best here. Not to mention that all of this is in the midst of fantastic outdoor museum grounds highlighting Vietnamese ethnic cultures. Visit and enjoy it all.
