Introduction:
Exploring Pu Luong and its authentic village
Don Village, the heart of Pu Luong Nature Reserve’s tourist hub, is a charming small village that attracts visitors with its stunning natural surroundings. It’s like a hidden gem that’s easy to reach and offers breathtaking views of rice fields and mountains. While the village has grown, it still keeps its traditional charm. There are now more places to stay, like homestays and hotels, but it’s not as busy as other places like SAPA. Don Village has simple houses on stilts and a peaceful countryside atmosphere. It might seem like it’s becoming too popular, but it’s actually not crowded with lots of shops or big buildings. They follow rules, so no building can have more than two floors. It still feels like a peaceful village lost in untouched nature.
