Tu Le Valley
Thung lũng Tú Lệ
A Thai valley east of Khau Pha Pass, with flat, open rice fields and famous fragrant glutinous rice, flat rice and hot springs. It is a transit point on the way to Mu Cang Chai.
Tu Le Valley lies at the eastern foot of Khau Pha Pass. Thai stilt houses are hidden among vast rice fields, with a gentler and more open feel than the steep terraces of Mu Cang Chai. The fragrant glutinous rice and green flat rice produced here are well known in Vietnam, and in autumn bamboo-tube sticky rice and fresh flat rice are sold along the roadside. The town has natural hot-spring pools, where you can soak and relax after cycling. Many travelers from Hanoi stop here for lunch or to spend a night, then cross Khau Pha Pass to reach Mu Cang Chai, about 1 hour away.
