That Khe townlet is the capital of Trang Dinh district,
Lang Son province. That Khe lies exactly halfway between
Cao Bang and Lang Son, and beyond here the road
winds through Na Sam, an attractive town snuggled beneath a dramatic setting of
outcrops. The villages in this area are inhabited by Nung and Tay; their bamboo
rafts and huge wooden waterwheels, which form part of sophisticated irrigation
works, grace the river that weaves along beside the road. Unfortunately this
rural idyll comes to an abrupt end, as the speedy Highway 1 from Dong Dang
brings you hurtling into Lang Son. |
