Choan Then - Y Ty

Choan Then Y Ty – A Ha Nhi village amidst a sea of clouds. Located in the mountains and forests of Y Ty, Lao Cai province, Choan Then is a village with a long-standing connection to the Black Ha Nhi community. Recognized as a provincial-level tourist destination by the Lao Cai Provincial People's Committee since 2021, the village preserves significant traditional cultural values in its architecture, costumes, handicrafts, festivals, and community life. Choan Then impresses with its blend of earthen-walled houses, terraced rice fields, and the Y Ty mountains. The tightly clustered earthen houses provide intimate framing for scenes of daily life, while the edge of the village offers expansive, deep-perspective shots of terraced fields, valleys, and mountains. The cultural activities of the Ha Nhi people, ranging from traditional crafts to festivals, folk songs, and dances, provide authentic material for depicting life in the highlands. With its combination of indigenous architecture, mountainous landscapes, and Ha Nhi culture, Choan Then is suitable for socio-cultural documentaries, travelogues, films about community life, and works requiring a highland setting. The rustic atmosphere and preserved cultural values make it particularly well-suited for stories centered on people and local identity.
