Review by Marie-Claude – 5-Day Trip to Mai Chau and Cao Bang

I had the chance to discover the Vietnamese countryside during a 5-day trip between Mai Chau and Cao Bang. What particularly fascinated me were the traditional agricultural techniques: I was able to closely observe the farmers working their rice fields with buffaloes — a skill passed down from generation to generation. These authentic rural scenes, combined with the stunning mountain landscapes and terraced rice fields, left a deep impression on me. An unforgettable human and cultural experience!
