The summer waves in the streams of Bản Bướt village
Located in the high mountains and ancient forests of Chiềng Yên commune, Vân Hồ district, Sơn La province, are a peaceful countryside village surrounded by ancient forests, mist covering the early mornings, lush greenery, the sound of streams, waterfalls flowing day and night, and friendly, gentle people. We once read somewhere, “streams, forests may not speak but they know how to produce gentle, soothing sounds that comfort the human soul.” Indeed, walking through the forest around the village, one can hear the rustling sounds of trees, the sound of streams, and waterfalls, feeling calm, peaceful in an unusual way.

It feels like blending into nature, quietly observing the sky, trees, grass, and playing in the cool stream. All worries seem to disappear, feeling sheltered by nature, feeling really comfortable. Those simple, peaceful things are not easy to find everywhere.

Summer by the stream to play …
The stream of fish is one of the most characteristic landscapes of Buot village. Through the fish stream to feed the fish, to watch thousands of fish swimming in the turquoise water. There are many other streams around the village. Every scorching summer day can go to the stream to play. Some practice swimming, some search for stream snails, some pick up beautiful stones to display around the house,… Under the gentle evening sunlight, there are beautiful playful shadows of small children by the stream, laughter echoing throughout the mountains and hills.

Summer is waving in the cool water at the “ancient forest pool” …
Thác Bằng Đông is a masterpiece of the Buot ethnic group. We also get to admire the beautiful natural landscapes on the way to the waterfall, and from afar, hearing the sound of the cascading waterfall and the rushing water means we are approaching the waterfall. This waterfall is formed from small streams pouring into the cool refreshing water, creating mini pools amidst the ancient forest. What could be more wonderful than diving and frolicking in the cool water amidst the scorching sun of summer, lifting our heads to the sky with clouds and the green-blue canopy of trees.
