Lately people tend to go for healing, Kame doesn't have anything "broken" to heal so he just goes "hiding". Escape deadlines, everyday dust, project pressures,... go to the "primitive village" "3 no" on Moc Chau plateau: no electricity, no phone signal, no internet - Hang Tau.

If people are too familiar with a town of Moc Chau full of endless green tea hills, plum gardens laden with fruit, fields of white mustard flowers that look like flowing silk, then Ban Ang Pine Forest, Dai Yem Waterfall, Moc Chau Heart Tea Hill, Pha Luong Peak,… Now a new, strangely charming, very pristine place – Hang Tau Moc Chau (Nguyen Thuy village) – is a new highlight for tourists from far away looking for the “Northwest muse”.

1. Where is Hang Tau?

Hang Tau Location: in Chieng Hac, Moc Chau district, Son La province, Vietnam

Hang Tau, in the local language, means empty land, or basin. About 20km from the center of Moc Chau town (Son La province), from Ta So intersection to Hang Tau is a distance to both experience and admire before tourists “penetrate” the original village.

Certainly when first hearing Hang Tau Moc Chau (or Primitive Village), people will mistakenly think this place is a cave, but in fact this place is a farming and agricultural production area larger than 1 hectare with only about 22 households of the H’Mong ethnic group are living.

2. When should go to Hang Tau?

According to local people, each season Hang Tau has its own beauty.

• In spring (February-March), people will see plum blossoms blooming next to corn fields.
• Summer (May-June): plum season is red and delicious. The ripe plum season lasts about a month until the ripe peach season.
• In late fall or early winter (October – January next year), there are countless flowers blooming here, giving you plenty to stop and take photos.
• However, around July-August: it is the rainy and landslide season, so the road is often slippery, muddy, and dangerous

3. Means of transportation to Hang Tau:

To get to Hang Tau, we almost all start from the center of Moc Chau town, Son La province.

For those of you from the South of Vietnam, you will have to travel by plane to Hanoi and take a sleeper bus or rent a private car or limousine to get to Moc Chau town center. After arriving in Moc Chau, you can rent a taxi for convenient transportation if you are comfortable with the budget and are not used to driving a motorbike on steep roads. Personally, I rent a motorbike because I am so familiar with the passes, motorbikes are convenient to explore some places that cars cannot reach.

Although it is only about 18km from the center of Moc Chau town, to get to Hang Tau, visitors have to go through an arduous journey of 3-4km of rocky and steep dirt roads. There are sections where you almost have to walk.

If you take a taxi or car, about 3km from Hang Tau, cars cannot continue. At this time, you should rent a motorbike taxi to move deeper inside. Motorbike taxi service is very convenient with a price of about 150,000 VND/2 way. If you ride a motorbike and have a strong handlebar, you can drive yourself to your destination. The important thing is that your bike is strong enough.

4. Accommodation (Where to stay?)

Currently, there is no homestay service with full amenities. If you want to stay, you will stay at the house of ethnic people, eating, drinking, and sleeping like them. There will be no electricity, internet, or phone signal. You will feel like a person going camping. Or you can stay at a slightly better homestay outside Ta So village.

5. Journey details:

The first destination from Moc Chau town center is Ta So intersection, specifically the Ta So greeting rock.

The National highway 6, address, department, Moc Chau range 7km is rock salute to the Ta Number towering on high, sugar is poured concrete is beautiful, easy for moving vehicles. Right next to the slope, Slate driftwood rare black ‘WELCOME TO EVIL NUMBER-WELCOME to’ overwhelming is where check in familiar of travelers.

Right fork Ta Number of people turn right into the road leading to the village Primitive. Here will be available fleet embracing local, with price to 150,000 d/people both go on and on. The bad start and ramps up and down. The rainy day, muddy really difficult, slippery.

Ta Number – a village of friendly, hospitable and yet is travel goods. From old to young children, from who held the sharp head or civilians are natured naivete. To meet unloading tourists they are affable, ready instructions seem to picking plum or peach are fun and… nature, hardworking, diligent is made clear by the engrossed labor on the terraces, upland corn halfway up the hill, or garden, plum garden, digging in the valley.

Today I go right season, ripe plum, lucky enough to meet local people harvesting plums in the garden, has stopped please take a photo and a few plums. Eat plums from a tree it’s delicious xĩu people. Fresh, delicious, sour, sweet. Local people here are very enthusiastic and hospitable.

The stop to the next, his is the state of the family the Ass right slope down to the valley to hang on Tau. want to explore should I send the car back here. Buy little water backing and comes walking down the steep, watch the beauty 2 the side of the road.

Ticket to is 30.000 d/person, send 10.000 d/car. Now is Jupiter European interest should have had the propaganda and people travel to know to Hang Tau more. Are restaurants open on 2 sides of the road as soon as the last gate, the food of people in work should always be if you want to experience, then you can try.

The households here we present some store food, small available for hire costumes for people to take photos, earn more income. All listed prices rather not hack and slash. If there is time people to support local.

Take a note when on is you do not should bring the food of animal origin in. Actually, not because people want to monopolize the sale of food now, which is because the place in quite isolated, so often the resistance of cattle, poultry, pets in will be different than the outside and that would not withstand the type of braided translation from animals outside infect (cause disease and death)

The village also has cows calmly graze, flock of ducks lined pull together home after naughty in a few yards of water in the valley of the village.

Few points to share personal:

• The road in is most beautiful because of the 2 side is the garden plums, summer plums wrong laden, come spring, as the 2 side-lined, white flowers, very romantic. People take the trouble to walk down the slope range 700m but deserve so much nha 🥰🥰🥰
• Trộm vía go right at the beautiful sky, green grass, ri. Version mere somewhere more than 20 households, okay, most of them cultivated the garden right nearby.
• Peace, simplicity is felt the first to come here. Chatting with the children in pursuit of the black pig is also fun, not least 😅😅😅
• This is perhaps where Kame saw worth in Moc Chau for those who love to explore.
• Friday, yet beautiful in this perhaps is due to tourists check in. Why wear Chinese dresses take a picture right on Vietnamese soil, what you wear check in helping local people to promote tourism is also not in the show and toys, China is. 🙂
