Mu Cang Chai is a mountainous district in Yen Bai province. To get to Mu Cang Chai district, you must go through Khau Pha Pass – one of the Four Great Passes of the Northwest. Mu Cang Chai is most beautiful in the ripe rice season from September to October. At this time, people often hold a Paragliding festival to see the whole valley from above.
In addition to the ripe rice season, you can also go in May-June to watch the pouring season as equally attractive, when the sunlight reflects down on the “flat mirror” of the water surface looks extremely magical. Visiting here, admiring the natural beauty and experiencing the cultural characteristics of the indigenous peoples will be a memorable memory for any fastidious tourist.
