Must-check-in destinations in Mu Cang Chai

The premier check-in place is La Pan Tan Commune which is home to a wide range of highest terraced fields in Mu Cang Chai. According to the author, the road leading to La Pan Tan is steep, small, and winding; therefore, tourists should travel by motorbikes. The romantic wooden house in the middle of the rice fields is one of the most renowned check-in spots here.

Khau Pha is one of the four great mountain passes in the northwestern region of Vietnam, along with O Quy Ho, Pha Din, and Ma Pi Leng. Khau Pha pass road is not as curved as one in Ma Pi Leng; so, it is quite easy to move, according to Zing News.
