Dien Bien, with its diverse terrain and majestic mountain ranges, offers travelers a chance to explore ancient forests rich in vegetation, discover fascinating cave systems, and lose themselves in the white mist drifting over vast, hidden lakes deep within the woods.
In this land, visitors can also admire the pure beauty of cascading white waterfalls — the “mystical hair” of the land once known as Muong Troi. Toward the end of autumn, Nam Khau Hu adorns itself with a golden hue of cosmos and buckwheat flowers spreading across the mountain slopes, their reflections shimmering on the tranquil lake below — a poetic landscape of harmony between mountains and water.
Nam Khau Hu — where every moment becomes a picture-perfect check-in spot.Nam Khau Hu is a vast green hill that stretches endlessly, resembling a giant velvet carpet beneath a clear blue sky — often called a “miniature Mongolian steppe” of Vietnam’s Northwest.
The hill of Nam Khau Hu boasts a unique “mountain-and-water” scenery. On the hilltop lies a wide expanse of green grass dotted with solitary old trees, where drifting clouds create a majestic and romantic picture of nature. At the foot of the hill, one side is a serene, clear-blue lake; the other side features a murmuring stream with small waterfalls cascading in white foam — bringing a refreshing and vibrant atmosphere.
