It will probably be nice when it's finished. Since the town is clearly in mid-development, it's hard to recommend unless you're unbothered by the general sights and sounds of any commonplace building site, which is what large parts of the town basically are. Diggers and heavy construction vehicles are everywhere to be seen, along with lots of mud and lots of noise. On a positive note, the locals were smiley and friendly and the food was decent, especially the street food barbecues. The waterfall was terrific and there are some fantastic panoramic views of the vast countryside below, with rolling hills and mysterious cloud-covered forests stretching across the horizon. One problem we faced was not being able to find any clear walking routes into the hills. Often we'd walk for 15-20 mins only to be halted by a dead-end or closed off area. The town is in need of more info about what a typical tourist can do away from the town, as you wouldn't want to stay within the confines of the main town for more than a day.

The scenery is beautiful but it’s very difficult to do activities we couldn’t do most of the hikes as we need a guide or we were told it was too dangerous to go along the paths there. It was very frustrating, we couldn’t climb any of the mountains only the road to the TV tower and the waterfall both of which were steps morn trails. The bear sanctuary is only open twice a month too so it was difficult to have contingency plans.

The food (especially the ones in the market) was very nice. I love the weather there, cold but not too cold. You should bring a jacket to use at night. --- Đồ ăn dân dã rất ngon và đáng thưởng thức.
