Had an amazing 3D2N trip to Mu Cang Chai! The rice terraces were unreal - golden and endless. Stayed at a local homestay, simple but cozy, and the food was so good! The drive was long & winding, kinda tiring, but totally worth it cuz the views were stunning. Loved chatting with the locals - super friendly and welcoming. Would def recommend if you’re into nature + local culture.

Peaceful getaway to the golden hills!
Excellent
I joined the Mu Cang Chai tour and it was honestly the perfect short escape from the city. The rice terraces were just stunning - especially during harvest season, all golden and glowing in the sun. What I loved most was staying in a local homestay, eating homemade meals, and chatting with the hosts. The drives were long but totally worth it for the views. Great mix of nature, culture, and peaceful vibes. Would definitely go again!
