Suoi Giang is not only beautiful because of its nature but also because of the unique cultural identity of the Hmong people. The people here are famous for their hospitality and simple life.

In addition, visitors can also enjoy regional specialties such as thang co, wild boar meat, and grilled stream fish. These are all rich dishes, with the typical mountain and forest flavors and simple but sophisticated preparation methods of the H'Mong people.

Suoi Giang is known as the "capital" of Shan Tuyet tea trees, a special ancient tea tree that grows naturally at an altitude of over 1,300 meters above sea level.

The tea trees are hundreds to thousands of years old, with large trunks and moss covering them. Shan Tuyet Suoi Giang tea has a distinctive aroma, a mild astringent taste, and a golden, sweet tea liquid, providing a completely different tea-drinking experience.
