The four-season beauty of Hong Thai

Nestled amidst vast mountains and lush forests, Hong Thai Commune unfolds like a living four-season calendar, changing in color, flavor, and the rhythm of local life. Located at nearly 1,000 meters above sea level, Hong Thai enjoys a cool climate all year round, allowing each season to leave its own distinct imprint on the land.

In every season, Hong Thai captivates visitors not only with its breathtaking scenery but also with the simplicity and sincerity of its people.

One of the commune’s most iconic sights is the “sea of clouds” drifting over the mountains, a natural wonder that attracts numerous tourists.

Hong Thai is also renowned for its ancient Shan Tuyet tea, prized for its distinctive flavor and color.

In the early morning, Dao Tien women carefully harvest the tea leaves to preserve their finest quality.

Terraced fields form a unique tourism highlight, leaving a lasting impression on visitors both inside and outside the province.

When spring arrives, the commune is blanketed in the pure white blossoms of pear flowers.

With over 100 hectares of pear orchards, pear fruit has become an OCOP product, generating a stable source of income for local people.

Summer brings another highlight: the romantic beauty of terraced fields during the water-pouring season.

Local people raise carp in the rice terraces during the water-pouring season. Field carp is an indispensable dish in Hong Thai’s cuisine.

To meet growing tourism demand, many homestay facilities have been developed, welcoming visitors throughout the year.

Cultural performance teams have also been established, showcasing the unique traditions of the local ethnic minority communities.

With each passing season, Hong Thai Commune radiates a different charm. It is truly a destination for nature lovers and those seeking authentic cultural experiences.
