The ancients often compared Thong Nguyen to an “open land” of a bright future.

This can also be the starting point for relationships for the local people. That is why this beautiful land is named Phung Village.
This place has an area of about 17.04 km2, most of which will be terraced fields that are cultivated and arranged in no order. Yet when they blend together, they create wonderfully beautiful combinations, especially during the ripe rice season.

Tay Con Linh is a mountain peak considered the roof of the Northeastern mountainous region of Vietnam.

Tay Con Linh is at an altitude of 2,419 meters with typical high mountain terrain, the foot of the mountain is tropical monsoon while the mountain top has a temperate high mountain climate. The temperature decreases with altitude, so the mountain top is always immersed in cold, fog and clouds all around.
The vegetation here is extremely diverse and rich. Multi-layered subtropical primeval forests, rare species of trees, carpets of land covered with fallen yellow leaves, birds chirping throughout the mountains and forests… These are the things that make up the beauty of Tay Con Linh, creating the attraction of this mountain covered in mist all year round.
