Summer getaway: Escape the Hanoi heat and head to Suối Giàng
The weather in Hanoi is scorching, making every activity exhausting and draining. A weekend getaway not only rejuvenates the spirit but also allows you to enjoy a spacious, fresh environment that all family members will immediately approve of.
Just about 200 km from Hanoi, Suối Giàng is one of the perfect destinations for this summer escape. Located in Văn Chấn district, Yên Bái province, at an altitude of about 1,300 - 1,400 meters, Suối Giàng boasts a year-round mild, refreshing climate. The summer temperature here is only about 25°C, so the climate is always pleasant.
Suối Giàng has long been famous for its specialty, ancient snow Shan tea, so along the way to this 'Sapa of Yên Bái,' you can admire the lush green tea hills.
The uniqueness of tea in Suối Giàng lies in its ancient tea trees, some of which have a lifespan of 300 - 400 years. Harvesters may have to climb the trees to pick the young, tender tea buds. Basking under the shade of these ancient tea trees on a sunny afternoon while enjoying a captivating book is an unparalleled experience. The mountain breeze blows gently, accompanied by the soothing rustle of leaves, effortlessly dispelling the weariness and worries of urban life.
This is primarily the homeland of the H'Mong ethnic minority, so visiting Suối Giàng offers the chance to immerse yourself in the terraced fields, blending into the scent of fresh rice. The locals here are simple, honest, and hospitable, eagerly sharing fascinating stories with you. You can even choose to stay overnight in the cool and interesting wooden houses with palm leaf roofs.
To get to Suối Giàng, simply follow National Highway 32 to Văn Chấn district of Yên Bái province. From the center of Văn Chấn to Suối Giàng commune is only about 13 km. The road is now beautifully paved, but quite steep, so be sure to pay attention.
