MAI CHAU
OVERVIEW |
| The district of Mai Chau is approximately 135km from Hanoi and 60km from Hoa Binh City. The overland trip gives visitors the superb panorama view of Mai Chau surrounded by a green valley and stilt houses. Many minorities, including the Thai ethnic group, live in Lac Village. Coming to Mai Chau, you will see stilt houses border both sides of the roads. The houses are quite large with palm leaf roofs and polished bamboo-slat floors. The kitchen is located in the center of the house; the cooking as well as the making of the colorful tho cam, the material used by Thai minority to make their clothes, takes place in the kitchen. The windows are large and decorated with patterns. Each house also has a pond to breed fish.
The Sunday market brings a lot of people into town. People from different minorities living in the mountains come to Mai Chau market to sell their specific products: honey, bananas, corn, and tho cam made by skilled Thai women. The Sunday market is also an occasion to enjoy traditional Thai dishes and to participate in traditional dances.
The main reason to visit Mai Chau is to take one of the treks to minority villages around the area. You can arrange a trek at many of the travellers cafes and hotels in Hanoi. Mai Chau itself is rather spread out and is actually a collection of villages rather than a town but this adds to its appeal.
