Travel Tips
The best time to visit is spring through autumn for comfortable weather. Pack layers for cooler mountain evenings. Respect local customs, especially in Bai villages. Carry cash and have a mobile payment app if possible. Stay hydrated and use sunscreen when outdoors. English is limited outside tourist areas, so a translation app can be helpful. Keep valuables secure and be mindful of traffic when cycling.
