Located 60km from Tan Quang Town, this capital town has more than 55.800 people occupying 9.700 households within 25 communes. One third of the population resides in the highlands.

    Hoang Su Phi is famous for its terraced paddy-fields which have been recognized as a national heritage site by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. Created around 300 years ago, the magnificent terraced fields have been cultivated by local ethnic groups up to present, a culture which have been handed down through generations by the district's 14 ethnic groups.
