Ban Ho Commune, Sa Pa Town – attracts many tourists to visit and experience village tourism. In addition, this place also attracts visitors from the province and some neighboring provinces thanks to the hot mineral spring bathing area.
At this time, the hustle and bustle of Ban Ho land is only reduced to Ban Den village, where there is a hot mineral spring water stream along the valley and next to Muong Hoa stream.
The hot mineral spring bathing area is invested by the people of Ban Ho themselves
The hot mineral spring bathing area is currently invested by some households to build bathing pools, including communal and individual bathing pools. A special thing about Ban Ho hot mineral spring bathing is that the service price is very affordable, serving both tourists and locals.
Previously, the hot mineral spring had a source flowing from the mountain, but was buried due to many factors. However, the locals still identified the area with hot water, so they invested in water pipes and built bathing pools to serve the people and tourists. The hot mineral springs in Ban Ho are characterized by water that is not too hot, with temperatures ranging from 30 to 40 degrees Celsius, suitable for everyone to bathe in both winter and summer. The baths are designed with overflow and water circulates regularly from the source, ensuring hygiene.
The hot mineral spring resources, traditional culture of the Tay ethnic group, natural landscapes, Lavie waterfall… are factors that attract tourists to Ban Ho. Hopefully, in the coming time, households as well as local authorities will pay attention to investing in more synchronous facilities, while promoting communication to attract domestic and foreign tourists to visit and experience.
