Y Tý is a remote frontier commune perched at an altitude of over 2,000 meters in Lào Cai Province, bordering China. Known as the "land of clouds", it offers surreal views of mist-filled valleys, golden terraced rice fields, and traditional mud-walled houses of the Ha Nhi people. It remains one of the most untouched and authentic mountain getaways in northern Vietnam.
💡Why Visit?
Hunt spectacular oceans of clouds and witness the ancient earthen mud-houses of the Ha Nhi minority.
