National
Geographic has the answer: Topas Ecolodge in Ban Lich village.
Naming
the lodge in its new list of Unique Lodges of the World, the US publisher
says guests can "wake in the morning to the mist rising with the sun, and
spend your days exploring the surrounding forests and ethnic villages, and
you’ll start to feel the pull of the hill tribes’ centuries-old lifestyle,
native to these mountains and virtually untouched by the modern world.”
"The
stilted common buildings at the heart of the lodge were sourced from a nearby
community of ethnic
Tay people; and private
guest bungalows swirl along the ridgeline, ensuring a spectacular view no
matter which one you check in to.”
Opened in
2005 on a mountaintop near
Sa
Pa town, Topas Ecolodge offers
its guests a rare experience of culture since there are five different ethnic
groups in the region with distinctive languages and lifestyles.
The
resort is the first in
Vietnam and the fifth in
Asia to make the National
Geographic list.
