A full day in the green Mai Chau valley, about 150 km west of Hanoi: a Muong ethnic market, the views from Thung Khe Pass, a traditional lunch and a bike ride past rice fields, weavers and quiet villages.
Mai Chau lies about 150 km west of Hanoi in a valley with ideal conditions for growing rice, the main livelihood here. Rice from the valley is sold in Hoa Binh, Hanoi and beyond, and the landscape of paddies and stilt-house villages is one of the calmest in the north.
