Lao Chai is a village of the Hmong people (H'mong), one of the closest to Sape, visited during trekking routes along Myung Hoa Valley.
Lao Chai is not as developed as the next village on the route Ta Van and tourists rarely stop here for the simple reason that they arrive here already for lunch during hiking trekking tours from Sapa. But there are several large cafes specifically to accommodate a large number of tourists walking in groups. Prices in the cafe are reasonable, there are cold drinks and beer. Usually the cost of lunch is included in the tour price, only drinks are paid.
But there are also some great and very inexpensive ones in Lao Chai Homestays, where you can stay for the night and get acquainted with the life of the Hmong ethnic people.
Further from Lao Chai, the route leads to Ta Van, for which you need to cross the river on the bridge and go along its right bank.
