  • This traditional village has remained largely untouched by outside influences, offering spectacular views of limestone mountains, terraced rice fields, and lush valleys. Visit local families to observe their unique customs and daily life, then continue deeper into the valley to admire the Cat Cat Waterfall – a stunning white cascade framed by colourful flowers and deep green pine forests.
  • The rocks along the river and near the waterfall are perfect for scenic photos or even sunbathing if the weather permits.
