Start your Phu Tho Travel with serene vistas (Source: Internet)Located in Tu Son Ward, 60 km from Hanoi, Cuu Thac Tu Son Resort is an eco-tourism haven established in the 2000s. Its 20-hectare landscape, nestled in a forested valley, features nine waterfalls—Au Co Love, Tien Tam, Trai Chieu, Ms Ut Lot, Silver, Truong Phu, Thuong Uyen, Mau, Long Cung, and Thien Ngoc Thach—each with Muong legends of love and mystery. The resort offers eco-friendly amenities like mineral mud baths, solar-heated pools, and stilt house homestays, blending nature with comfort. Sustainable practices, such as using local bamboo and organic produce, support the surrounding Muong community, making it an ideal retreat for relaxation and cultural immersion near Mai Chau.
Cuu Thac Tu Son, meaning “Nine Waterfalls of Tu Son,” is a cultural and natural treasure in Phu Tho. The waterfalls, cascading through 10 hectares of forest with 150+ plant species, are tied to Muong folklore, recounting tales of fairies, lovers, and princesses. For instance, Au Co Love Waterfall murmurs beside Lac Long Quan Lake, symbolizing Vietnam’s mythical origins, while Long Cung Waterfall evokes mystical caves. The resort’s eco-conscious design, with bamboo structures and solar energy, preserves this 20-hectare ecosystem. Visiting supports local Muong guides and artisans, fostering Phu Tho’s sustainable tourism while offering a serene escape from Hanoi’s bustle.
