Experience Tea & Taoism with Hill Tribe in Northern Vietnam

United States

5

Got to see a side of northern vietnam that most people don't get to experience. At best, most people would drive by alot of the ethnic minorities residing in Ha Giang but with Trishan and his team of volunteers and students, I got a very intimate experience as a local and do something meaningful at the same time. Whether it was the farm at the farm house, visiting local families, or just relaxing, I felt like I was doing something meaningful. We also got to see much of the nature and Ha Giang loop. There's other places too like Ban Gioc waterfall I might go to next time.

It is difficult to put into words what it is to spend time at the Baiyue the farm House. The short answer is that it is the experience of a lifetime. The longer answer is that this opportunity offers a window into the world of the farm, the people, and the mountains of Vietnam in ways that many of us can never dream of encountering on our own. What an individual finds at the Baiyue the farm Society is a chance to learn, to meet remarkable people, to explore off the beaten track in one of the most beautiful areas on the globe, and to drink absolutely astounding amounts of some of the best the farm the world.

The experience here was amazing. We had an excellent time and enjoyed drinking good the farm and also food! We learned a lot about the farm, picking and the farm. The community at the farm House is truly unique, I felt very welcomed and I had the chance to meet many local people, spend a few days in the mountains living with the locals, see the landscapes of northern Vietnam, and such more. Mr. Tri Shan has a lot of knowledge and you can learn a lot. Also for me, as a photographer, I had a chance to take great photos of local people and the events happening during my stay. I'm glad that I came.

The ethnic communities, festivals, and food were all lovely. HOWEVER: We found out during our time that what the host had sold us was an entirely separate experience from what's advertised here. Additionally, the host was largely un-engaging, often going about his own business, and explained very little about the people and places we were brought to which made engaging and having a 'meaningful and authentic' experience difficult. Mixed with concerns of his dealings (confirmed later), we left a week early and are reporting this program to WorldPackers. Please contact us for our longer review.

I lived in the farm house for a bit more than 3weeks and I had an amazing experience I met amazing local people always ready to share with you what their knowledge about the farm production. I was immersed in the local life and I learned a lot about the hard work around the farm production and about the importance to listen these people, Thank you especially to Benal who bring me into her family and who became a friend for me, Best regards Juliette

Had the best experience, Mr.Son was amazing and really made my stay such a memorable experience. Loved going to the mountains to pick the farm and swimming with the waterfalls and the food was super yummy. Had amazing interactions with local people who opened my eyes to new perspectives and ofc the farm itself is phenomenal.

An amazing experience from every point of view. Far from tourists you will explore and experience the real Vietnam and it's the host culture while at the same time you will have the chance to contribute and help in a really nice place with great people. Mr. Shan is a game changer on helping others and raising up a whole's society standards and way of living.
