Vietnam Open Tour News & EventsSin Ho’s wild beauty |If visitors go to Sin Ho during the time of its only rice crop in the year, they will witness the special daily life of the locals in an area covered by clouds all the year round.
The Sin Ho plateau is around 60 km from Lai Chau town. The road to Sin Ho is very difficult to travel and sloping, and thus attracts adventurous people.
In mid July, Sin Ho is very cold and foggy. In the fog of Sin Ho, visitors will see ethnic minority people in their unique traditional costumes selling fruit and food on the road or in small mountainous markets.
