Pu Luong is famous for its terraced fields covered in golden rice and sunlight, water wheels that work silently day and night, and untouched primeval forests. Visitors love the peaceful and simple life of the locals. This remote location evokes strange and nostalgic feelings, since it’s free of the noise that has invaded many popular destinations. Hundreds of stilt houses with palm leaf roofs hide under the forest canopy. A small path leads through the mountains and the fields, leading travelers to breathtaking views. Most locals are ethnic Thai people, who build their stilt houses at the base of the mountains, grow rice on terraced fields, and graze cattle by streams. They welcome strangers with friendly smiles and often invite visitors to join their traditional meals.

However, tourism in Pu Luong is not only about sampling local food and sleeping on a brocade fabric mattress by a fire. Since tourism touched this land, cocktails are now served at dinner time, and young travelers can take selfies in an infinity pool by the rice fields. New travel trends have emerged, carrying diversity and cultural vibes with them. Young people come to Pu Luong to trek, kayak on the rivers, mountain climb, mountain bike, and run marathons. Sports lovers are overwhelmed by “The Wonder Trail of Vietnam.” Photographers are amazed by the scenic water wheels, which offer a perfect background for photoshoots. They can also easily capture photos of wild birds.
