Coc Lau! The place where the wounds caused by natural disasters, especially storm No. 3 (Yagi) in September 2024, which once struck the two villages of Nam Tong and Kho Vang, have now gradually faded away. On that land, new vitality is spreading strongly, present in every house and every village.

Coc Lau - peaceful and spacious by the Chay River.
Coc Lau commune was established on the basis of inheriting the entire solid foundation of the three communes Coc Lau, Nam Luc and Ban Cai of Bac Ha district, Lao Cai province in the past.
With the high solidarity and unity of the entire political system, business community and people of all walks of life, the new commune with open development space creates more confidence and motivation for Coc Lau to be determined to successfully implement the resolutions of the Party Congresses at all levels for the 2025 - 2030 term.
