Experience the village night with homestay

If you are too familiar with luxury resorts, then experiencing a homestay in the highlands will be a breath of fresh air, bringing you back to the wild nature and the simple life of the indigenous people. Not just a place to stay, a highland homestay also opens the door to explore the unique culture, sincere hospitality and simple life of ethnic minorities in a rustic space in the middle of the wilderness. Highland homestays are often built from natural materials such as wood, bamboo, etc. located in the middle of mountains, forests, terraced fields or right in the heart of peaceful villages. Although simple, the homestays are carefully cared for, both preserving traditional features and ensuring basic amenities for visitors.

Spending a night at a highland homestay in Cao Bang, you will enjoy traditional music, traditional games such as bamboo dancing, playing "o an quan"... right in the yard and hear stories about customs and traditional occupations from the local people. Waking up in a stilt house, opening the door to see clouds drifting across the valley, the sound of roosters crowing in the distance and the aroma from the wood stove... all create a peaceful picture that is hard to find anywhere else.

Explore the early morning market

Many tourists choose to stay overnight in the village so that they can visit the market early the next morning. To enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the highland morning, tourists should try waking up early at 5-6 am to visit the highland markets such as Nguyen Binh, Phja Den, Bao Lac, Trung Khanh, Ha Lang, Quang Uyen..., where many Tay, Nung, Dao ethnic people gather from the night before to wait for the next day's market. The sound of calling each other, the sound of horse hooves, the sound of carrying goods... blend in the thin mist, creating a vivid picture of highland life at dawn. Highland markets often start before dawn. It is a place where all the ethnic colors converge, a unique experience that only night travel can bring.

Night travel is not only about exploring space, but also an opportunity for you to slow down and feel more clearly the rustic, pristine beauty of Cao Bang. Amidst the tranquility of the mountain town, the rustling of the mountain wind, the murmur of the river, you will feel why this land is called "the beautiful mountainous region like poetry". If you have ever been to Cao Bang during the day to sightsee, try staying overnight, to feel your heart soften in the shimmering light, in the rich flavors of the cuisine, and in the sincerity of the people here. Night travel in Cao Bang is a journey to "expand" the experience from the majestic nature during the day to the culture and daily life of the mountains at night. Don't just go to Ban Gioc waterfall, Pac Bo cave, Khuoi Ky stone village... during the day - stay once, enjoy the lights, sounds, flavors and the coziness in the night sky of the border region.
