Highlights

The market sells the most livestock, especially buffaloes. Going to the market is not to buy goods but to exchange culture with people living along the Vietnam-China border.
Check-in at milestone 171 at the confluence of Chay River, a border marker between Vietnam and China.
The tour is especially beautiful in February and March when plum and pear flowers bloom profusely on the routes you pass.
