Bac Son is laid out like a mosaic hidden under the clouds, if you have a head for heights.

Bac Son District in Lang Son Province is known for its pristine valley in Vietnam's northern mountains. To see Bac Son Valley at its best, take a hike up Na Lay Mountain.
A 45-minute climb in the early morning will reward you with a breathtaking panoramic view of Bac Son Valley, which lies 160 kilometers (100 miles) north of Hanoi.
This is the view from the top of Na Lay. 

The rice season in Bac Son Valley starts later lthan most areas, leaving a mosaic of paddy fields and rivers.

The valley is surrounded by limestone outcrops that are home to ethnic people who live in small houses next to their rice fields. 

This is not something you can see every day.

Villagers in Bac Son Valley allow tourists to stay in their homes for only VND50,000 ($2.2) per night. A meal costs just VND150,000 for four people.

Stopping by Quynh Son Village, you can join locals to bathe in the stream and experience daily life.
