Referring to Tram Tau, Yen Bai, the first name that comes to mind of many people is Ta Xua peak with dinosaur spine, challenging mountain climbing enthusiasts. And yet, this place also has a place that very few people know, but if you've heard of it, it's hard to ignore.

It is a village called Phinh Ho, belonging to Phinh Ho commune, Tram Tau district, Yen Bai province. This place is also known as the "village in the clouds" because it is located at an altitude of more than 1000m above sea level, surrounded by a sea of ​​clouds.

Although in recent years, roads have been improved and developed, but to reach Phinh Ho village, there seems to be only one path. Therefore, people still think that the road to the village is like walking on a large staircase, with bends and deep abysses, but connecting directly to the "sea of ​​clouds".

Because of its special location, this place is rarely mentioned in the media, or rarely reviewed on tour groups. Is it just through a few pictures of "backpackers" recorded on the road down the pass or watching the falls.

Therefore, when a person posted a tourist guide clip about Phinh Ho village appeared on social networks, it received thousands of interactions from the online community. Many comments expressed surprise because they did not expect there are so many experiences here, not just sightseeing.

Experience Hmong culture

Most of the people living in Phinh Ho belong to the H'mong ethnic group, so, from building a house to a way of life, each has its own characteristics. If the Thai people prioritize building houses on stilts and high floors, the H'mong houses here have a lower design to avoid drafts. Moreover, all columns and roofs are made of Pomu wood, sure, creating a feeling of cool in summer and warm in winter.

According to the owner of the clip, he brought a French guest to visit the house of the people in the village. Visitors can't help but be delighted to see the people's stone mills and corn mills. Or witness an old villager stirring tea and enjoying a delicious, specialty drink, grown at an altitude of thousands of meters above sea level. Maybe you don't know, Phinh Ho is famous for hundreds of years old Shan Tuyet tea hills.

Not stopping there, French tourists are also taken to visit Hang Te Cho waterfall, a waterfall located in the neighboring village, with an altitude of more than 1800m above sea level. The rushing water flows from above, likened to a white silk strip leaning against the mountains and forests. Coming here, visitors not only have the opportunity to admire the wild features, but also have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the cool, white water.
