Walk Around to Discover Lo Lo Chai Village - The Northernmost Village of Vietnam

in Wednesday Walk2 years ago

Hello everyone, how are you today?
It's Wednesday again. Like every week, I look forward to this day to discover interesting walks from people around the world and also share my walks. And today I'm eager to walk you to a special place. It's a village in the Northernmost point of Vietnam called Lo Lo Chai.

Lo Lo Chai is a small village of the Lo Lo ethnic group, in Ha Giang province of Vietnam. It is located in the northernmost part of Vietnam and shares the border with China. It's really exciting to come here and explore it with my own eyes. Now walk around with me to see what's interesting here.

Actually Lo Lo Chai is a very small village located in the middle of a valley and surrounded by mountains. So we can completely explore it on foot. Because of the topography, the small houses here are built on the cliffs and stacked on top of each other. They are mostly built from cunninghamia wood and soil walls, and even roof tiles are made from soil. And the fences around the house were also built by stacking stones on top of each other. We can easily go around to admire the unique architecture of these houses. I will have another post soon to introduce the unique architecture of the houses here in detail. It can be seen that the indigenous people here live very harmoniously with the surrounding nature. Fortunately, with the government's attention, the life of the indigenous people here has also become better with a system of concrete roads, schools and hospitals.

The life of the people here is mainly self-sufficient. They grow corn, rice, vegetables and raise pigs, cows, goats, chickens and ducks. Living in a remote part of the country, they have to manage to provide themselves with essential food. Their main dish is Men Men, a dish made from corn, and they eat a lot of meat to keep their body warm. Because of that, they are very honest and simple people, they seem quite timid when interacting with strangers like me. Even the children ran away when I approached. Their simple life still goes on peacefully every day. I have felt so much relief in the time I have lived with them. It is one of the main reasons I fell in love with this land.

The nature here is also very beautiful. This small village is surrounded by the surrounding mountains, which provides the main source of firewood for the people here. Of course, they did not cut down the forest for firewood, but only collected dry wood and corn stalks. From here, we can easily go to Lung Cu Flag Tower, the northernmost landmark of Vietnam and the border of China. By the time I arrived, it was winter there. The weather is quite cold and foggy a lot. In the early morning, the village is covered with fog and looks very fanciful.
