Tay villages  are  always  set  up  at  the  foot  of  a mountain  or  along  a  stream  and  are  named  after  a mountain, a field, or a river. Each village contains about 15-20 households. A large village is divided
into many small hamlets. The houses are built on stilts or level with the ground. Stop by a traditional Tay house for a cup of tea before taking a boat cruise upstream the Chay River. The scenery is very beautiful  on  both  sides  of  the  river. The  boat  trip will  end  at  Coc  Ly where  your  vehicle will  be waiting for you for the journey back to Lao Cai.
