'Unprecedented scene' in Lo Lo Chai attracts tourists

About a week ago, Lo Lo Chai tourist village in Lung Cu commune, Tuyen Quang province (formerly Ha Giang) became a hot topic on social networks, attracting the attention of tourists when peach blossoms suddenly bloomed throughout the village.

According to Mr. Sinh Di Gai, head of Lo Lo Chai village, peach blossoms usually bloom during the Lunar New Year (around the end of January - March of the solar calendar). However, this year, since the end of October, the peach blossoms have begun to bloom, creating an "unprecedented scene" in the village. Even the locals were surprised.

Peach, plum and pear are often planted by Lo Lo Chai people in their gardens, on both sides of the road. Initially, people planted flowers not for the purpose of serving tourists . But later, as tourism developed, people planted more and more diverse flowers.

At this time, peach blossoms have not yet bloomed in unison and brilliantly like in early spring, but they still bring a sense of novelty to visitors, with an early Tet atmosphere.

Female tourist Dinh Huyen Trang (commonly known as Trang Tron, a photographer in Hanoi) has just had a 5-day journey to explore Tuyen Quang. Trang is eager to return to Lo Lo Chai and spend 2 days and 1 night enjoying the quiet beauty and admiring the unique architecture of the rammed earth houses here.

She also wanted to discover what made Lo Lo Chai recognized by the United Nations Tourism Organization as " The World's Best Tourist Village 2025".

"3 years ago, I also came to Lo Lo Chai in October. This time I came back, I was very surprised to see peach blossoms blooming all over the village. I thought I had to come here in spring to admire this poetic scene," Trang shared.

The girl took the opportunity to admire and leisurely walk around the village, admire the peach blossoms, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. "Compared to 3 years ago, the village has developed a lot, with full services. What hasn't changed is that the people are still gentle, thoughtful and hospitable," the female tourist expressed.
