Peach blossoms show off their beauty at the foot of Lao Than mountain which is located at an altitude of 2,860 m and considered a paradise for cloud hunting. The head of village Vang A Ho (26 years old, H'Mong ethnic person) said that citizens had settled in Phin Ho before the 1990s and planted many ancient peach trees. Most peach trees are over 30 years old.

A Ho said that the climate on Phin Ho is foggy and cold all year round. Therefore, peach trunks are covered by a lot of mosses and lichens. Each beautiful peach branch is priced at 1-3 million VND (US$ 43-US$ 130).
