Visitors will be able to visit an ancient tea forest in Nam Pien commune, join traditional dances with the Dao and Nung ethnic groups or go sightseeing at the waterfall in Thuong village.

An indispensable part of the journey will be the golden Hoang Su Phi terraced fields viewed from Nam Ty or San San Ho communes.
