In its assessment, Condé Nast Traveller highlighted the local ethnic groups, including the Hmong, Muong and Dao, as well as endless rice fields as standout features.
Other Asian destinations recognised by Condé Nast Traveller include Raja Ampat and Bali in Indonesia, the Zhangye National Geopark in China, Bayon Temple in Cambodia, Jodhpur in India, and the Philippines. Japan stands out with three entries, namely Mount Fuji, Kyoto, and the Arashiyama bamboo forest.
As the gateway to Vietnam’s northwestern region, Hoa Binh is known for its breathtaking scenery and vibrant ethnic cultural identity. In Mai Chau district, the Lac village is celebrated for its pristine beauty, with rice paddies surrounded by lush green mountains.
From September to late October, when the rice fields turn golden, the village becomes an ideal spot for cycling and sightseeing. Lac is also famous for its centuries-old stilt houses, some nearly 700 years old, shrouded in mist at the foot of verdant hills.
Visitors can engage in traditional Thai ethnic activities, such as weaving handicrafts, kite flying, folk dancing, bamboo pole jumping, and nightly campfires.
Local cuisine is another highlight, offering mountain specialties like grilled chicken and fish, com lam (bamboo-tube rice), sticky rice, and wild vegetables, served at local restaurants or eco-resorts.
