A Pa Chai is a picturesque location situated in the northern part of Vietnam, known for its stunning natural landscapes and cultural diversity. Visitors to A Pa Chai can enjoy breathtaking views, unique experiences with local ethnic communities, and an opportunity to explore the beautiful terrain at the border of Vietnam, Laos, and China.

Milestone No. Zero A Pa Chai, the westernmost point of Vietnam's mainland, is situated at the T-junction of the Vietnam-Laos-China border in Sin Thau Commune, Muong Nhe District, Dien Bien Province. It is approximately 250 km from Dien Bien Phu City. The majestic mountains that surround the area create a breathtakingly romantic atmosphere, while the arduous but exciting roads lead adventurers to this unique destination.
The journey to conquer Milestone A Pa Chai begins at the 317 border guard post. As this is a border region, you must undergo strict security checks. Be sure to bring identification and report to the border post, where the station leader will send a soldier to guide you to the zero border marker.

Reaching the westernmost tip of A Pa Chai is an exciting journey filled with lasting memories, even though it may be somewhat strenuous and tiring. The trip takes you through the wild, remote, and majestic Northwest mountain roads, which are both poetic and enchanting. Whether you choose the route from Dien Bien or Lai Chau, you will experience the unique beauty of Vietnam's border areas.

Once in Muong Nhe, visitors have the opportunity to explore various hill tribe villages that showcase the diverse cultures of the ethnic minorities residing in the area. Trekking is one of the best ways to discover these villages and immerse oneself in local lifestyles.

Engaging with local communities allows visitors to learn about the traditional customs, crafts, and daily life practices of different hill tribes, such as the Mong and Ha Nhi. Staying overnight in village homestays, if possible, provides an authentic experience where travelers can enjoy local cuisine and participate in community activities. Many hill tribe communities also offer workshops where visitors can learn traditional crafts, such as weaving or embroidery.
In addition, a place where you can relax and discover wildlife is the Muong Nhe National Reserve, which contains many primary forests, such as evergreen mountain forests and bamboo forests that are being preserved. It is also a habitat for many rare animals. Scattered throughout the area, villages are surrounded by natural beauty, offering opportunities for birdwatching, photography, and enjoying breathtaking landscapes.
By the end of 2024, when you travel to Muong Nhe district, you will have the opportunity to visit the large flag tower on Khoan La San Mountain range, which stands 1,864 meters above sea level. The large Vietnamese flag is visible from quite a distance, and the tower offers a superb view of both Vietnam and China. It not only affirms Vietnam's sovereignty but also reflects the pride of the nation.
 

Please kindly note that: 
As a foreign tourist, be aware that this area is a border region. In accordance with Vietnamese regulations, foreign tourists must obtain permits to visit certain areas, especially those near the borders. Therefore, it is essential to secure a permit for this location. First, you should inform the authorities of your presence in Dien Bien. Then, visit a police office to declare your information and wait for the permit, which may take some time to process. It is advisable to arrange this in advance based on the purpose of your visit, prior to your arrival in Dien Bien Phu City.

Be careful when interacting with ethnic minority villagers, as this can be a sensitive matter due to the influence of other religions that contrast with the traditional beliefs of the local people. Such differences may lead to misunderstandings that could negatively affect your relationship with them.

To improve this situation, it is advisable to always travel with a local guide who speaks a foreign language and understands the customs of the local ethnic people. This will ensure that the guide can handle any issues that may arise appropriately.
