Muong Hoa Valley is one of the most beautiful places in Vietnam, and definitely the most beautiful in the surrounding area Glanders. It starts almost from the city itself and stretches for about 25 kilometers along the Muong Hoa River, passing into the Muong Ba Valley. Along the Myung Hoa, a chain of mountains rises like walls, protecting from bad weather and winds, and the Myung Hoa river meanders along its bottom. Apparently, because of these almost ideal conditions, many ethnic tribes settled here and founded their villages: Hmong, Dzao, Tai, Dzai, KSA FO (they are Fulai). The valley is very beautiful in itself, and decorated with man-made Emerald rice terraces on the slopes it is simply stunning. That is why Myng HOA has become the most popular excursion destination in the province of Laocai and in the vicinity of the town of Sapa.

Myung Hoa Valley
There are several hiking trekking routes along the Myung Hoa, which tourists visit independently or with a group in the form of one-or multi-day hikes. Traditionally, these routes include visiting one or more villages (for multi-day hikes, overnight in one of the villages), waterfalls, walking through rice fields, through bamboo groves, field of ancient stones, swimming in the river. And the farthest hike to the village of Banho also includes a visit to Hot Springs and Spring of Life.
The asphalt road TL152 runs through the entire valley, repeating the bends of the river. It is of very poor quality: it is often washed away by water, after which it is constantly repaired. But you can drive with caution even on a car and motorcycle. From the road in different directions branches down to the river and villages, or up into the mountains, where there are also villages and even isolated mountain Hotels-Resorts. After the village of Ban Ho, 25 kilometers from Sapa, the road turns left along a river with several dams and to other villages, and eventually comes to the main highway in Laocai – Hanoi. This is also a very beautiful site with views,but there is almost nothing tourist. But if you are traveling from Hanoi by motorcycle, you can go to Sapa on this road, because it is much more beautiful than the way from Laos.
