MaiChau is located in Hoa Binh province, approximately 135 km from Hanoi
and 60 km from Hoa Binh. From the top of Cun Mountain, one can
admire the superb panorama of Maichau surrounded by a green valley and
stilt houses. Many minorities, including the Thai ethnic group, live in Maichau.
Mai Chau can be a base for some trekking tours to the villages around,
this is with homestay overnight on the traditional houses of the H'Mong and
the Thai. Worth a guided treking tour there. Tourists especially enjoy
the minority specialty dishes including rice cooked in bamboo and grilled meat.
They also enjoy watching traditional dancing, music performances (bronze,
drums, gongs), and Thai minority singing and dancing. The remote
minority villages are attractive sites for tourists.

Mai Chau is called “another Sapa”. Mai Chau itself
is very rural with no real downtown - rather, it is a collection of villages,
farms and huts spread out over a large village area. The most interesting thing
to do here is trekking through Thai villages. You can visit and understand
customs of Thai people in Mai Chau.
