Hoa Binh is only 2 hours or 75km from Hanoi. This province is home to the Hmong, Muong, Dzao and Thai ethnic minorities. The area has changed a lot since the largest hydroelectric power station in Southeast Asia was built here, turning the Da River into a lake. Still, even today the province boasts some of Vietnam's most beautiful scenery.

We leave Hanoi at 08.00 for the drive to Hoa Binh. Once there we will visit a Muong village and either have a picnic lunch or eat in a local restaurant, depending on the weather. After having met the local villagers we will continue on for a look at the enormous dam. On the way back we will stop to visit the Ho Chi Minh Trail Museum arriving back in Hanoi around 16.30.

What to take

We suggest a small, lightweight daypack for cameras, spare film and drinking water.
