On the way, you will make a stop in Thai Nguyen to visit the gorgeous Museum of the Culture of the Ethnic Minorities of Vietnam

you will leave the main road to join a smaller one snaking through the rough mountains and lush tea plantations to reach the Tay village of Bo Lu. Fishing and rice and corn cultivation are what Tay people are living on and they are also famous for their stunning stilt houses. Once coming to Bo Lu, you will experience the hospitality of the host and his incredibly friendly family, in one such traditional house. You will definitely get far away from the hassle of Hanoi when taking a 3-hour boat trip, gently chugging around the lake. If you need to cool off, do the same ways as the local kids do and just jump in the river for a swim. At the end of the day, you will return to your homestay and have a superb dinner featuring local specialties. You will stay overnight with local family at Bo Lu Village
