Cross a suspension bridge to reach one of Pu Luong's most scenic villages, where the largest stream flows through.

4. Arrive at Chieu Lau dam and embark on a bamboo rafting experience. Paddle the raft upstream with locals and enjoy the moment. In Pu Luong, activities like eating or singing on bamboo rafts may sound fun at first, but they come with real risks, especially when the water level rises or flows fast after heavy mountain rain. That is why at Puluong Excursions, we keep it simple and safe: Life jackets are required at all times. Land on the other side of the river and start an another 2km walk through rice fields and villages to complete a loop trail. During the morning leisure stroll, you have the chance to learn about native herbs and plants such as sweet leaf vegetables, jackfruit, pickled eggplant, betel leaves, and areca nuts. You will also discover more about bamboo, both a symbol of Vietnamese spirit and an essential part of daily life in Pù Luông and a rare mountain fish once reserved only for kings and wealthy lords.

We assure you that this landscape will be a visual delight and may even fill up your phone's memory card with its beauty.

Here, you will have the opportunity to observe their everyday activities, marked by simplicity and humility, with a special focus on their traditional brocade weaving. Take this time to engage with the locals and learn about their craft.

About Hanoi

Hanoi, Vietnams hovedstad, blander templer ved søen, franske koloniale boulevarder og en gammel bydel, hvor gademad og scootere fylder hvert stræde.

Den gamle bydels smalle gader, der hver engang var viet til ét enkelt håndværk, ligger lige nord for Hoan Kiem-søen, hvor den røde Huc-bro fører til Jadebjergets Tempel. Gå en tur i daggryet for at se tai chi ved vandet, eller efter mørkets frembrud, når fortovene fyldes med madboder og lave plastikskamler.
