Ta Xua in Bac Yen, Son La Province, is an ideal tourist destination for those looking to escape the heat and find peace.
Even in the summer, the temperature here remains cool, ranging from 16-24 degrees Celsius. The mornings and nights are chilly, and during the day, after sudden showers, clouds linger, floating over the valley, creating a poetic scene.
One of the most impressive points in Ta Xua is the grassland, with its pristine nature and cool climate. Netizens have likened it to a “mini Switzerland.” This grassland is located in Ban Tro A, Ta Xua commune, about 12km from the commune’s center.

Nicknamed the “green gem of the bay” in Northern Vietnam, Quan Lan Island is sheltered within the bay, resulting in calmer seas and faster travel times, reducing concerns about seasickness.
The island boasts several stunning beaches, including Minh Chau, Robinson, Rua, Tien, and Quan Lan. Eo Gio, near Den Cau and Cua Dong, about 6km from the Quan Lan wharf, is also a popular spot.
