Sin Ho Plateau, about 60 km from Lai Chau city, has long been a favorite destination in this northern mountainous province.

This place is considered a second Sapa for its year round cool climate. The site is impressive with majestic natural scenery and rocky mountains, surrounded by primeval forests.

O Quy Ho Pass is one of the best camping sites and not to be missed when traveling Lai Chau. The pass is located on the National Highway 4D running across the Hoang Lien Son range connecting Lai Chau and Lao Cai.

This is the longest and most majestic pass in the North. The height of this 50km long pass led to its name as the "King of the Northwest Pass".

The beauty of the pass changes with the seasons, with snow and ice in winter, clouds and shining sunbeams in summer. This is an interesting cloud hunting spot for young tourists.

Tam Duong Glass Bridge is a new tourist site in Lai Chau. When standing on the glass bridge, visitors see the majestic natural scenery, feel the rushing wind, and the clouds flying over O Quy Ho, one of the "four great passes" of the Northwest mountains.

Visitors can also experience adventure such as bungee jumping from a height of more than 400m from the glass bridge and explore the primeval forest of the Da Trang (White Stone) Pass, Hoang Lien Son range.

Lai Chau is a land of famous majestic mountain peaks, such as Pu Ta Leng, Pu Si Lung, Bach Moc Luong Tu, Ta Lien Son, Chung Nhia Vu, Pu Dao and Po Ma Lung, as well as waterfalls hidden in the jungles, Phong Tho dances and lovely community tourism villages.

Bach Moc Luong Tu is one of the four highest peaks in Vietnam, located between Lai Chau and Lao Cai provinces. 

Na Khuong (Ban Bo commune) is a new tourist site. 

The Pu Sam Cap cave complex belongs to the Pu Sam Cap range with an altitude of about 1300m to 1700m above sea level. It includes caves Thien Mon, Thien Duong and Thuy Tinh. 

Vang Po hot spring is known for supporting the treatment of diseases such as rheumatism, intestinal diseases or stomach pain.

In recent years, community-based tourism has become a new product of Lai Chau’s tourism sector. The most famous community-based tourism villages are Si Thau Chai, Gia Khau, Sin Suoi Ho, and Vang Pheo.

Community-based tourism brings sustainable economic development benefits to local residents, helping people protect environmental resources.
