As not so far from Hanoi, only about 32 km in length, travelers in Vietnam tourism travel to Dien Bien have to pass Pha Din Pass which is considered as the frontier between “Heaven and Earth”. Pha Din Pass will be an unforgettable experience to most foreign tourists who once have ever travelled to this historical land.
Reaching Dien Bien province from Hanoi, travelers have to pass Pha Din Pass that is about 32 km in length. In the local language, Pha Din means heaven and earth. According to a local legend, Pha Din Pass is known as the place where the sky meets the earth, so it is considered as the frontier between Heaven and Earth. Pha Din Pass- Dien Bien- Vietnam Long time ago, there existed a deputation on the border between Lai Chau and Son La provinces. It was solved by a horse-racing. Two horses started from each side of the pass and the border was determined at the point where they met each other. The horse of Lai Chau province ran faster than the one of Son La province so the pass belonging to Lai Chau is longer than that of Son La. Pha Din Pass is full of twists and turns at the height of above 1000m, one side is an upright cliff and the other is a deep gulf. So, climbing and descending the slopes with their many bends and deep gorges, amid such magnificent scenery, is one of the most memorable tours in Vietnam to most visitors. Pha Din Pass held an important and heroic part in Vietnam’s history, so today passing Pha Din Pass to Dien Bien makes people recall the brave of Vietnamese soldiers at Dien Bien Phu in the past. |
