Family Adventure Holidays in Bac Son Valley Overview

Bac Son Valley is known more to photographers than travelers. The valley is inhabited by the Tay and Nung peoples. The valley of Bac Son is surrounded by rugged limestone mountains. From the peak of some of the mountains we can get great views of the whole area.

One special thing of Bac Son is that local farmers do not culture their rice fields at the same time as most farmers in Vietnam do. This results in rice fields generating different colors at a time. There is a period from November through February that there is no rice in Bac Son, but at other times of the year, you can get amazingly beautiful patches of colors at Bac Son gazing down from top of a mountain.

The trip to Bac Son is suitable to most families who love adventure experiences. Hiking up the mountain involves a steep trail with steps at some part, several local kids (10-12 years of age) do it with their school friends occasionally.
