Việt Nam•05/11/2023

Cù Lần Village ( Lam Đồng Province )

The village is located in Lat commune (Lac Duong district, Lam Dong province), nearly 30km from the center of Da Lat city and nestled at the foot of Lang Biang mountain. There are many explanations for why this place is called Cu Lan (meaning "Strange"), but the legend passed down by the villagers is the most "trusted". Specifically, long ago, a young man from the lowlands went up the mountain with the dream of collecting stones to build a paradise in the forest as a gift for his beloved.

And his dream of "mending the sky with stones," along with his eccentric and naive way of doing things, led people to call him "Cù Lần" (meaning "idiot"). Gradually, rumors about Cù Lần collecting stones to build a paradise on a high mountain as a gift for his beloved reached her ears. The girl left the city and ventured into the mountains and forests, overwhelmed by the beauty of the wild mountain nature and moved by the boy's sincere love.

The girl decided to stay in the deep mountains with Cù Lần. Although the couple couldn't build a paradise, they created a small village by the stream, amidst wildflowers and green hills. From then on, people called the village Cù Lần Village.

Visiting Cu Lan Village, tourists will be immersed in pristine nature, admire the vibrant yellow daylilies, and participate in outdoor activities such as mountain climbing, trekking through the forest, camping, and experiencing gong music performances.

Mui Ne fishing village ( Binh Thuan province)

Located along the coastline of Ward 1, Mui Ne (Phan Thiet, Binh Thuan), stretching over 1km, this beach is remarkably calm year-round, making it an ideal location for boats to take shelter.

If you come here early in the morning, you'll have the chance to witness the bustling scene of fishermen returning from their late-night fishing trips.

In Mui Ne fishing village, tourists can experience the life and fishing profession of the fishermen; choose fresh seafood such as squid, fish, shrimp, crab, etc., to take home and prepare into dishes, or have the locals prepare them on the spot at extremely cheap prices.

Tam Thanh Mural Village ( Quang Nam Province )

This is the first mural village in Vietnam, located in Tam Thanh commune (Tam Ky district, Quang Nam province). The walls of the village were painted by talented Vietnamese and Korean artists.

Tam Thanh Mural Village is a must-visit destination when traveling to Quang Nam.

Tam Thanh attracts tourists with its unique and unprecedented beauty. Therefore, just four months after receiving praise from the press, the number of tourists flocking here to visit and take photos has been incredibly high. Since then, the village has begun to transform, donning a beautiful new look, no longer just a poor fishing village on the coast.

Duong Lam Ancient Village (Hanoi)

Located in Son Tay district, about 44km from the center of Hanoi, this is the birthplace of Ngo Quyen and Phung Hung, hence it is known as "the land of two kings".

The village of Đường Lâm still retains the basic characteristics of a typical village in Northern Vietnam.

The village of Đường Lâm still retains the basic characteristics of a traditional Northern Vietnamese village, including a village gate, banyan tree, water landing, communal house, etc., with 956 traditional houses. In 2006, Đường Lâm became the first ancient village in Vietnam to be awarded the title of National Historical and Cultural Monument by the State.

Visitors can come to Duong Lam ancient village at any time of the year. However, the festival season (held in the first lunar month every year) and the rice harvest season (May and June every year - when the rice fields are at their ripest) are the most suitable times.

Pơ Mu Village (Son La Province)

This is a small village nestled amidst the hills of Ngoc Chien commune (Muong La district, Son La province). It boasts a dreamy landscape, imbued with ancient charm, creating a scene straight out of a fairy tale. However, to reach Po Mu, visitors must navigate winding roads and climb high mountains.

Pơ Mu is inherently poetic and beautiful, thanks to its wooden houses. What makes this village different from others is that, despite having many poor households, all the houses here are made from precious Pơ Mu wood.
