Vietnam is mainly known for its vast rice fields, and many travelers go all the way to the north of Vietnam (Sapa) to visit these fields. Unfortunately, Sapa has become very touristy in recent years. Fortunately, we found an alternative that seems to be just as beautiful as touristy Sapa: Pu Luong Nature Reserve. Pu Luong is located about 150 km from Hanoi and, like Sapa, is characterized by vast rice fields and breathtaking scenery. In Pu Luong Nature Reserve, you will also find the true authentic Vietnamese life, where people mainly live off self-grown food. Do you want to travel off the beaten path?
