The tri-border marker in A Pa Chai |
In A Pa Chai, there is a tri-border marker on the top of Khoang La San Mountain, 1,864 m above sea level. This marble marker has three sides facing three directions, each side has the national emblem and the country's name, engraved in each country's language.
In the past, it was difficult to conquer A Pa Chai since tourists had to cross three hills, forests, and wade streams. At present, it is more convenient for tourists thanks to a wide road from Sin Thau commune to A Pa Chai and a concrete road leading to the foot of Khoang La San Mountain. Tourists have to climb 500 steps up to the tri-border marker.
Strawberry gardens
There are two strawberry gardens using Japanese growing technology in Na Tau and Muong Phang communes, nearly 30 km from the center of Dien Bien Phu city. In recent years, the strawberry growing model has developed in Dien Bien, attracting visitors to experience strawberry picking. Strawberries here have a naturally sweet taste because growers do not use herbicides, pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and growth stimulants.
