Pavie ancient stone route

Pavie ancient stone route

The ancient Pavie stone road is more than 100 years old in Nhiu Co San village, Sang Ma Sao commune, Bat Xat district, and has been ranked by Lao Cai province as a provincial-level scenic relic. On December 11, news from the Department of Culture and Sports of Lao Cai said that the Provincial People's Committee had just issued Decision No. 3130/QD-UBND, ranking the ancient stone road Pavie in Nhiu Co San village, Sang Ma Sao commune, Bat Xat district is a provincial-level scenic relic. According to this decision, the Pavie ancient stone road protection area is determined according to the minutes of zoning of relic protection areas in the relic scientific records. The People's Committee of Lao Cai province assigned the Department of Culture and Sports and the People's Committee of Bat Xat district to develop a plan to protect, manage, restore and use the scenic relic of the ancient stone road of Pavie in accordance with regulations. According to many documents and records, in 1920, the Pavie stone road began to be built. Governor Auguste Jean - Marie Pavie is the one who surveyed and directed the construction of this route to transport food and agricultural products between the Northwest provinces of Vietnam. Therefore, the route is called Pavie. After 7 years, the road was completed with a total length of about 100km, crossing Gio Pass in the Nhiu Co San range, extending from Bat Xat district (Lao Cai province) to Lai Chau city (Lai Chau province) today. However, according to indigenous people, before the French built the road, their ancestors conquered Nhiu Co San peak by this path and explored Lai Chau land. The French only continued to borrow the route from the Mong people. for transportation. The ancient Pavie stone route used to serve the transportation of goods, agricultural products, weapons... from Lao Cai to Lai Chau during the French colonial period. Over time, although the path has been covered by grass and trees, the rocky road is still about 3 meters wide and stretches more than 20km through complex terrain. After more than 100 years of being almost forgotten, the ancient stone road has recently been rediscovered and has become one of the must-see journeys to discover the magnificent nature of tourists when coming to Lao Cai.
