Like many Northwest highland villages, the first thing that attracts tourists in Ban Pho is the rustic, highland natural scenery. To get to Pho village, you have to go through winding roads, close to the Hoang Lien mountain slope, about 4km to reach Pho village.

Xue, our H’Mong guide, led a fantastic tour. She was timely, professional and had a deep knowledge of the Bac Ha market, people, foods and culture. She navigated the market with ease and introduced us to unique foods and wares. The lunch provided was in a lovely garden setting and the drive coming and going was spectacular. Xue is the best.
