Pa Co – one of the two communes of Mong ethnic minority
people once known as a hotspot for security issues and drug trafficking – is
gradually changing as a result of attentions and investment from the Party and
State.
Sung A Sia, Chairman of the Pa Co People’s Committee, said
as a difficult area, Pa Co has received attentions of the province and the
district for investment in roads, schools, clinics, electricity grids,
agricultural production and tourism serving its growth.
Located at an altitude of more than 1,000m, Pa Co has a
year-round cool climate, primeval forests, and many popular products such as
Shan Tuyet tea and traditional handicrafts. Such advantages have been tapped
for community-based tourism development. So far, the commune has become an
attractive destination for domestic and international tourists.
