Weather permitting you will enjoy stunning views across the valley with mountains and rice terraces as far as the eye can see. Next on the route is a stop at Lao Chai, an established Hmong minority village which has been inhabited for centuries.  Here you will have the opportunity to see the products of this minority at its best with hereditary rice terraces, homes and a vibrant community. Continuing on to Ta Van Village you will visit the Giay minority people. They have mastered the art of fishing with bamboo sticks, and cook the fish inside bamboo.

Nowadays however you are more likely to see the Giay working in fields planting or harvesting rice.
