During this time, visitors can engage in various tourism-promotion activities, such as exploring the lake area, fishing experiences, camping, and immersing themselves in cultural experiences within traditional Thai ethnic villages. They can also visit historical sites like Bản Bắc Cave, Pú Vạp, and Lai Châu Prison, and take part in trekking tours to explore scenic trails, ancient forests, and terraced fields in mountain villages.

Additional hands-on experiences include Én Tail Boat Racing, making traditional snacks like Khẩu Xén and Chí Chọp, preparing oil-marinated fish, crafting rattan chairs, and making Tính lutes.

Mường Lay Town will introduce jet skiing to offer visitors a thrilling experience.

The committee announced that it has finalised the event plan, established an organising committee, and formed subcommittees with clearly defined responsibilities for each member unit. The People’s Committees of local wards and related agencies are actively preparing for the event in line with their designated roles.

Mường Lay Town is focusing on public communication, enhancing urban aesthetics, and mobilising resources to ensure all activities provide visitors with an enjoyable and memorable experience, according to the committee.
