Known as one of the famous tourist destinations in Lai Chau, Tac Tinh waterfall always attracts many tourists from all over the country to come and admire. Let's explore this legendary waterfall with us. Tac Tinh Waterfall is also known as Tac Tinh Waterfall, people here still call it Tinh Waterfall for short. The waterfall is located in Binh Lu commune, about 27km from Lai Chau city center. Located in the middle of rolling mountains, the waterfall is like a beautiful young woman hiding behind the hands of majestic nature. From a distance, the waterfall appears like the hair of a beautiful, soft and gentle girl. These names are not simply to distinguish places, but also contain a sad story about the unfinished love of a Dao couple. In terms of scenery, Tac Tinh waterfall is no less beautiful than famous waterfalls such as Hang De Cho in Yen Bai, Phi Lieng waterfall in Lam Dong or Do Quyen waterfall in Thua Thien Hue. The waterfall is located at an altitude of about 1,400 meters above sea level. In the summer, the waterfall falls strongly from a height of more than 120 meters, creating a majestic, white column of water. The water from the waterfall then winds through the stone steps, creating many small, fresh and gentle streams. On days when the water is dry, the upper lake bed is quite large and can be bathed if you want to experience the feeling of immersing yourself in pristine nature. The legend of Tac Tinh waterfall is a sad love story that has been passed down through many generations in the Dao community in Si Thau Chai village. The story is about Lo Lan - a beautiful young woman, the daughter of a rich family, with a sweet voice that captivated the whole mountain and forest. Even though she was approached by many wealthy families, she still firmly refused. Her heart was devoted to the poor boy Ly Phan, who had the talent to play the flute and make the music fly far into the deep forest. The two of them were inseparable, singing together every day. The sound of the flute and singing blended together as if it could summon the soul of the mountains and forests. However, that love encountered prohibition. Ly Phan was forced to leave the village, leaving Lo Lan alone to wait. Each season of ban flowers passes, she still stands at the top of the mountain, looking forward to the silhouette of her past. But after waiting forever, Lo Lan gradually disappeared. The villagers said that she turned into stone, and the water pouring from above turned into her hair and tears, flowing endlessly. Later, Ly Phan returned and found the old waterfall. He stood next to the waterfall, playing the familiar flute again, like a passionate call to the girl he once loved. But I waited and waited but no one was seen. Gradually, the villagers no longer saw the boy's silhouette. Only the distant sound of the flute lingers amidst the sound of the waterfall. Since then, Tac Tinh waterfall has been mentioned as a symbol of faithful, unwavering love - a place where sincere feelings are never divided, whether by time or fate. To fully experience Tac Tinh waterfall, you should choose a suitable time for the purpose of your trip. The rainy season (May to September) is when the waterfall is at its peak of beauty, with strong flowing water, lush green trees, and cool air. In contrast, the dry season (October to April) offers dry, easier trails for trekking and exploring. The temperature in Lai Chau this season is quite pleasant, but you should still bring a light jacket. Not only famous for its pristine beauty and sad love story that touches people's hearts, Tac Tinh waterfall is also an ideal destination for those who love nature, experience and discovery. The area around Tac Tinh waterfall is a great place for you and your friends or family to camp, have a picnic and enjoy the fresh air. The space is covered by towering pine forests, creating a feeling of absolute coolness and relaxation. At night, the scene becomes even more magical with the whispering sounds of insects and the tent lights flickering in the mountain mist. One of the experiences most tourists love when coming to the waterfall is trekking through the forest. The trail leading down to the foot of the waterfall takes you through small slopes, shady forests and rocks covered with green moss. If weather conditions and water flow allow, you can completely experience the feeling of bathing in the cool water at the foot of the waterfall. Small lakes scattered at the foot of the waterfall are ideal places to relax, soak your feet or simply relax to the sound of the waterfall. Besides, take time to visit nearby Thai villages such as Sin Suoi Ho village, to enjoy local cuisine such as upland sticky rice or kitchen meat. Learning about brocade weaving or chatting with people will provide insight into Northwest culture. If you have time, explore Pu Dao Waterfall or Tan Uyen Tea Hill. Tac Tinh Waterfall is not just a destination, but a journey that takes you to the wild beauty and emotional cultural story of Lai Chau. Don't hesitate, make a plan and pack your suitcase to conquer Tac Tinh waterfall and discover more of the wonders of this land.

In the Ma Lu Thang border gate area, next to the wide road at the foot of the mountain, there is a large poster erected. Next to the images of the national flags of Vietnam and China and portraits of President Ho Chi Minh and Chairman Mao Zedong, there is a bilingual slogan about the direction and principles in the Vietnam-China relationship: "Friendly neighbors, comprehensive cooperation, long-term stability, looking to the future".

Ong Hoang Bay Temple is not only sacred but also associated with the legend of the Nguyen general who was instrumental in repelling foreign invaders and defending the border. Therefore, this famous temple has special value both culturally and historically. Ong Hoang Bay Temple (or Bao Ha Temple) is a famous spiritual tourist destination located on the road to Sapa town, Lao Cai province. The temple is where people worship and show respect to the guardian deity Hoang Bay - who commanded soldiers and people to defend the Northwest region, expel foreign invaders and keep peace for their homeland. According to records left behind, at the end of the Le Dynasty (1740 - 1786), everywhere in Quy Hoa, especially Chau Thuy Vi and Chau Van Ban, were often harassed by bandits in the Yunnan region. They kill people without hesitation, leaving the population devastated and miserable. Faced with this situation, the Le court sent the 7th general named Nguyen Hoang Bay to quell the rebellion and defend. His army not only chased the enemy out of Chau Van Ban but also built an extremely strong Bao Ha base. In an unequal battle with the enemy, the hero Hoang Bay heroically sacrificed his life. His body was thrown into the river by the enemy general, so it floated down the Red River and then washed ashore at Bao Ha. People in the area later buried his body and built a memorial temple. Initially, Ong Hoang Bay Temple was just a small temple worshiping the hero who had the merit of guarding the border and protecting the integrity of the territory. Later, the image of the national defender Hoang Bay spread to the entire community, turning the place of worship for him into a spacious temple with landscapes on the wharf and under the boat, with majesty and solidity lasting over time. Ong Hoang Bay Temple has great values both culturally and historically. Therefore, in 1997, this place was recognized as a national historical relic by the Ministry of Culture, Sports & Tourism. Devotees across the country often come to Ong Hoang Bay Temple on the following occasions: Thuong Nguyen Festival (Full moon day of the first lunar month); Quan Tuan Tranh Banquet (May 25 of the lunar calendar); Bao Ha Temple Festival (From 15th to 17th of the 7th lunar month); General Nguyen Hoang Bay's Death Anniversary (July 27 of the lunar calendar); Year-end ceremony (End of year). On these days, many exciting activities will take place at the temple such as releasing lanterns, worshiping gods, holding peace ceremonies, etc. In addition, during the main festival of the temple there are also interesting art programs. Ong Hoang Bay Temple was designed and built according to the traditional architecture of Vietnamese temples and pagodas. The structure here includes the three-entrance gate, temple yard, guest house, Son Trang lord's palace, great worship hall, forbidden palace, second palace and community palace. Each building not only has its own function but also has a story associated with the character being worshiped. Going deep inside the altar, you will have the opportunity to see majestic statues symbolizing Ong Hoang Bay, Duc Thanh Tran, The King Father, Quan Tuan Tranh, etc. Embracing the ancient architecture of the temple, next to the tree-lined campus, there is also a miniature scene "on the wharf, under the boat" that is extremely majestic and beautiful. The scenery around Ong Hoang Bay Temple makes people feel temporarily separated from the hustle and bustle outside, leaving behind a fresh, peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. "Pray for Mr. Bay's fortune, pray for Mr. Muoi's mandarin" is a saying passed down by word of mouth by people about the sacredness of temples in praying for fame and fortune. Every year, local people and tourists often come to Ong Hoang Bay Temple to pray for favorable business and success.

Besides the Opera House in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, Hai Phong Opera House is also one of the typical architectural works of Vietnam. Located on Hoang Van Thu street, Hong Bang ward, downtown Hai Phong, the Opera House or City Theater is a destination not to be missed by tourists on their travel itineraries to the "city of red phoenix flowers". In 1904 at the beginning of the 20th century, when the number of expatriates and the French army reached thousands of people in Hai Phong, the French government chose the spacious, high market ground of An Bien ancient village, at the intersection of the Vietnamese, European and Chinese areas to build a theater to serve the spirit of the people. After 8 years of construction, in 1912, this project was completed and was named "Western Theater" and became an important cultural and political place for the French and wealthy natives. Through its great cultural, historical and architectural values, in December 2015, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism recognized this work as a National Monument. Hai Phong Opera House was built under the direction of a French architect and materials were also transferred directly from France to Vietnam, so its architecture is similar to the prototype of the Paris theater. Accordingly, this work has Baroque style - a type of artistic architecture that first appeared in Italy, then because it was so unique, it became a prominent and popular trend throughout Europe in the late 16th to mid to 18th centuries. The first impression of visitors when coming to the City Theater in Hai Phong is the massive 2-storey architecture with a total of 100 doors and windows, and is painted in a striking yellow color against the vast blue sky. Along with that are 4 white pillars designed in the soft Corridan style, pressed against the wall to increase the wall's stability, as well as create a highlight for the building. In particular, the facade is designed with a strictly symmetrical structure in the horizontal direction, from the distance between columns, doorways to decorative motifs, creating a flawless, flawless beauty. However, the most valuable point in the exterior architecture of Hai Phong Opera House is the image of the lyre - a noble symbol of music, sculpted on the door, making anyone who visits it impossible not to stop and admire. In addition, in front of the theater is a large square with a colorful flower garden embracing an artistic fountain as white as mist and a majestic national flagpole, creating a space that is both nationalistic, modern, and luxurious with an international look. If the outside of the opera house in Hai Phong stands out with strong, straight lines, the inside captivates visitors by taking advantage of curves and domes to create rhythm and lively, eye-catching spaces. The space inside is quite large with the first floor being the lobby - a place dedicated to receiving distinguished guests, with luxurious European-style furniture and sophisticated, lavishly decorated motifs like a royal room. The 2nd floor is the main auditorium, specialized for holding important events, with 400 seats covered in luxurious - genuine - smooth red velvet and the doors are designed in an impressive Gothic dome shape. In addition, on the stage is placed a statue of the god of music - the protector of artists. The two wings on either side are the actors' rest rooms and makeup rooms, and the windows use soundproof glass, very comfortable and modern. However, the most prominent feature in the auditorium of Hai Phong Opera House is probably the ceiling, designed in a dome shape to both enhance the height of the theater and create resonance for the sound, helping people at the end to still be able to hear clearly. In particular, it is adorned with beautiful flower baskets bearing the names of famous musicians and actors in Europe such as: Betthoven, Mozard or Moliere... making viewers unable to take their eyes off. Although to this day, Hai Phong's Opera House has undergone many renovations, but only changed small details, damaged items due to age, and repainted with new colors, so the unique architectural features from when it was first built are still intact. Furthermore, at night the building is lit up like a giant night pearl, lighting up the entire night sky. Furthermore, the fountain also projects artistic water strips of all colors, extremely impressive. The City Theater is considered the center for organizing major cultural and political activities of Hai Phong such as: meetings, welcoming ceremonies or anniversaries... as well as important national holidays and Tet. At this time, people coming here can not only enjoy attractive musical performances but also participate in many extremely interesting entertainment games. Sometimes, the theater even organizes meetings with foreigners to exchange culture as well as promote Vietnamese beauty internationally. However, not only when big events take place but because it is located in the city center, even on normal days in the evening, there are many young people, the elderly and children gathering in the area in front of the door, flower bed or fountain to enjoy the cool air and confide together, creating a strangely peaceful scene. And if you come to Hai Phong during the day, and don't have the opportunity to stay in the evening to enjoy that scene, you should also stop by to take some luxurious virtual photos like the European sky, and watch the national flag flying in front of the great portrait of Uncle Ho hanging in large format at the main door, you will definitely feel the excitement of patriotism. Coming to the city of red poinciana flowers without visiting Hai Phong Opera House - an architectural symbol, you will definitely regret it.
