Pho Bang Town
Phố Bảng
A century-old town right by the Chinese border, with well-preserved rammed-earth and yin-yang-tile houses. The atmosphere is calm.
Pho Bang Town is in western Dong Van District, on the border with Malipo County in Yunnan, China. Historically, it was a prosperous border trading town. The town still has many century-old rammed-earth houses, yin-yang-tiled roofs, and stone steps. Many of the old houses were built when Chinese and Hmong residents lived together. It has fewer visitors than Dong Van Old Town, which makes it good for slow strolls and photography. There is a small market on Sundays. It is about 20 kilometers from Dong Van and is often visited on the way to the Vuong Family Palace.
