Ban Pho is a highland commune in Bac Ha district, Lao Cai. With its simple beauty and sincerity, Ban Pho has gradually become an interesting and attractive place for tourists coming to the Northwest. Like many Northwest highland villages, the first thing that attracts tourists in Ban Pho is the rustic, highland natural scenery. To get to Pho village, you have to go through winding roads, close to the Hoang Lien mountain slope, about 4km to reach Pho village. Right down the road is a green valley filled with corn and rice, and on the side of the road are forests of Tam Hoa plums, filled with fruit and heavy branches. In the distance are the houses of the H'Mong people clinging to the mountainsides and cliffs.
