It boasts the largest hawthorn cultivation area in Son La province, spanning thousands of hectares, including approximately 800 hectares of ancient trees hundreds of years old.

Every March, when the hawthorn blossoms bloom white across the forest, the rolling hills and mountains here seem to don a new coat, inviting tourists to admire the majestic beauty and explore the rich H'Mông culture.
