Sights - Nam Toong Village

A Red Dao village at the top of the side valley side. Still very remote and not discovered by tourists yet. Farming is still the dominant business around here. No one speaks English, but they have a little Vietnamese.

We get time to meet some of the locals who usually very welcoming and friendly. They still like the traditional wooden house here and we see some fine examples. The views of the valley below are quite impressive.

Nam Toong is also home a hyrdo power station producing 34mw of electricity for the local area. There is hyrdo power at Cat Cat (status unknown) as well as Su Pan 2.
