Pa Khoang Lake
This is a lake located in the middle of nature with majestic beauty, far from the lake there are mountain ranges, surrounded by a few small and lovely houses.
The attractive point of Pa Khoang Lake is that in winter, the lake has a lot of dew covering it, creating a romantic feeling like being in a heavenly place.
Summer is different, the air is cool by the gentle southerly wind and the charming scenery around the lake, romantic and calm to the absolute point.

Muong Phang cherry blossom garden
The majestic beauty of the mountains and forests cannot make you forget the feeling of discovering the beauty of Dien Bien. And Muong Phang cherry blossom garden is that attractive place!
This place is likened to a "land of the rising sun" with a miniature "land of cherry blossoms" between the Northwest mountains and forests. Moreover, there are primeval forests with old barren trees still reaching out, trying their best to cling to the ground over the years to survive.
If in the first days of the new year, get lost on the immense boats of Pa Khoang Lake and see hundreds of beautiful cherry trees stretching and blooming with their full wings and petals. There is nothing more romantic than that!
Here, there are not only cherry blossoms but also typical flowers of the temperate region, showing their beauty all year round. Every season is a different thing, the petals of wildflowers bloom again, coloring an island of flowers.
