Mu Cang Chai is a small mountain town in the western part of Yen Bai Province, northwest of Vietnam. Local people here are very friendly, hospitable, some of them can communicate with foreign tourists by English, so this destination is a very attractive place for both international and domestic visitors.

How’s the spring in Mu Cang Chai? 

Mu Cang Chai in spring often has a little drizzle or tiny vapors flying in the air in the morning, giving us a feeling of a little cold. By the time the sun had risen, each warm ray of the sun shone onto the fields of the bending stairs and all over the brightly yellowed hillside, all of which formed a gentle symphony of nature. The average temperature in January – April is 9 – 15 °C. So here in the spring, we can feel the warmth that nature brings to this place.
Tips: When you come to Mu Cang Chai in the spring, you should prepare a warm coat because the temperature here is a little low. You should also prepare a small umbrella to protect yourself from the rain or the salt fog, and prepare a beautiful pair of shoes to walk on the road here.

This is a place that a lot of tourists come to check-in, and many people come here to resemble it as a real-life sword fighting scene.
