点评:About to join 4.5 million tourists in Sapa? Skip the crowds and head to Pu Luong Nature Reserve, where you can experience the most untouched rice fields in Vietnam. Sure, you could just use AI to erase everyone from your photos—but you’d miss that real, spine-tingling sense of awe when you’re standing in the middle of somewhere remote and perfectly preserved for generations.
Pu Luong Nature Reserve sits just 1.5–2 hours from Mai Chau, a serene valley in northern Vietnam famed for its emerald rice fields, ethnic minority villages, and misty mountain views.
Hop on a direct domestic flight to Tho Xuan Airport (THD)—you can fly there from Ho Chi Minh City (SGN), Can Tho (VCA), Buon Ma Thuot (BMV), Con Dao (VCS), Phu Quoc (PQC), or Nha Trang (CXR). It’s a 3-hour drive to Mai Chau, and the easiest way is to have your hotel sort a private car.
When we were researching, we could only find one private day tour to go on that looked remotely legit (all the others were part of multi-day lower budget excursions across the region). Fortunately, this private day trip was fantastic and we highly recommend you repeat what we booked.
Book through David at Hanoi Eco Tour via WhatsApp (+84 97 431 31 04). You’ll get a local guide (ours was the fabulous Xuan—she was amazing) who speaks basic English, and a driver who knows Pu Luong like the back of his hand. Seriously, no GPS needed. The tour was US$99 pp and included water, fruit, lunch and cost of the bamboo rafting at Suoi Cham (don't worry, the raft is super slow/calm and rowed by a local).
We visited 24–28 March during the dry season—ideal for travelling the country—when the rice fields were a lovely green, though not at their peak. For the most spectacular terraces, head there in late May to early June when they’re lush and vibrant, or in September to October when the fields turn a dazzling golden.
翻译:即将加入沙巴450万游客的行列?避开拥挤的人群,前往普隆自然保护区 (Pu Luong Nature Reserve),体验越南最原始的稻田风光。当然,你可以用人工智能把照片里的每个人都抹去——但当你站在世世代代保存完好的偏远之地时,那种真实而震撼的敬畏之感将难以言表。
普隆自然保护区距离麦洲 (Mai Chau) 仅1.5-2小时车程。麦洲是越南北部一个宁静的山谷,以其翠绿的稻田、少数民族村落和云雾缭绕的山景而闻名。
搭乘国内直飞航班前往寿春机场 (THD)——你可以从胡志明市 (SGN)、芹苴 (VCA)、邦美蜀 (BMV)、昆岛 (VCS)、富国岛 (PQC) 或芽庄 (CXR) 飞往那里。从麦洲开车需要3小时,最简单的方式是让酒店安排专车。
我们搜索的时候,只找到一个看起来还算靠谱的私人一日游(其他都是该地区多日低价游的一部分)。幸运的是,这次私人一日游非常棒,我们强烈推荐您再次体验我们预订的行程。
通过 WhatsApp (+84 97 431 31 04) 联系河内生态旅游 (Hanoi Eco Tour) 的 David 预订。您将获得一位能说基础英语的当地导游(我们的导游是非常棒的 Xuan,她太棒了),以及一位对 Pu Luong 了如指掌的司机。真的,不需要 GPS。这次旅行每人 99 美元,包含饮用水、水果、午餐以及在 Suoi Cham 体验竹筏漂流的费用(不用担心,竹筏非常慢/安静,而且由当地人划桨)。
我们于 3 月 24 日至 28 日前往,正值旱季——非常适合在越南旅行——那时的稻田一片碧绿,虽然还没有达到最佳状态。要想欣赏最壮观的梯田,最好在五月下旬至六月初前往,那时梯田郁郁葱葱、生机勃勃,或者在九月至十月前往,那时田野会变成耀眼的金色。
