Introduction to A Lu commune 

A Lu commune is a border highland commune, located about 100 km from Bat Xat town, Lao Cai province. Thanks to that, the climate in the commune is cool all year round, gradually becoming colder and harsher when winter comes, sometimes the temperature drops below 0 degrees Celsius. Although located in a remote land, people’s lives are still difficult, but the beautiful scenery in Y Ty is a reason for tourists to overcome all difficulties to come here. 

Anyone who has ever explored the destinations in Bat Xat will surely remember very well the majestic and magnificent natural picture of this highland district. In A Lu, too, the commune in the far northwest region welcomes visitors with tall green mountains with strange shapes piled on top of each other. Interwoven with the mountainous landscape are lush rice fields, spreading along the foothills and hillsides, embracing the houses and villages of indigenous people.

Like many other localities in Bat Xat, people in A Lu commune mainly grow terraced fields on rugged mountainous terrain. The fields curved along the hillside, like rolling waves. Compared to a Sapa that has professionalized in tourism, A Lu appears with all the beauty of peace, rustic and simple.
