Mai Chau is a rural district located in the Northwest region of Vietnam, approximately 140 km from Hanoi, and is part of the Hoa Binh Province. It is nestled in a peaceful valley sheltered by the outside world by a dramatic ring of hills. It’s a serene, relaxing rural idyll, and the vivid green paddy fields will match your picture postcard fantasies of the Vietnamese countryside. The Mai Chau Valley is dominated by rice paddies and small villages and enclosed by mountains. Sitting outdoors looking at the mountains covering, breathing fresh air from nature, ones can just unwind in a serene and peaceful environment, or easily meet local people and be invited to drink Mai Ha wine with family or friends. After having the dinner at the local family, you’ll have a chance to enjoy a very interesting and special music dancing performance made by young boys & girls in this village meanwhile tasting their traditional jar-wine.
