Mu Cang Chai balancing forest protection and tourism development
The Che Tao Species and Habitat Reserve in Mu Cang Chai district, Yen Bai province, spans nearly 20,300 hectares. With mountain ranges rising between 1,700 and 2,500 meters and lush vegetation, this area offers favorable conditions for the locality to develop experiential tourism, while preserving the forest. To protect the conservation area and heritage trees, residents of Che Tao commune have established patrol groups that take turns patrolling the forest each month.
