Discovering little-known 'green havens' in Phu Tho

Travel blogger Bui Ngoc Cong introduces pristine destinations like Pang village, Mat Ngoc lake, and Mung hamlet for tourists seeking to escape crowds.

In late April, travel blogger Bui Ngoc Cong, known as Rot, embarked on a journey to explore destinations around the Hoa Binh area (now Phu Tho). According to the blogger, this is an ideal time to visit Mat Ngoc lake, Lac village (Mai Chau), Pang village, and Mung hamlet.

These destinations are close to each other, making it convenient to combine them into one trip. While Mai Chau is already well-known, the other spots retain their pristine beauty and are not crowded, making them suitable for nature lovers. Rot noted that Pang village is located in Thanh Hoa province but borders the former Hoa Binh, allowing for easy travel.

Rice fields are currently in their most beautiful season, so tourists should plan their visit in May. During this time, the weather is cool and the sun is not yet harsh, which facilitates travel and exploration.
