The Rejuvenation Journey Of KOL My Van’s Family On Their Ha Giang’s Trip

We believe that the most valuable gift parents can give their children is not material possessions, but memories and shared experiences. This belief also led the family of My Van, one of the early KOLs familiar to the 7x and 8x generations, to choose Panhou Retreat. This was not simply a trip to Ha Giang, but a journey where three generations slowed down together, breathed more deeply, and rediscovered meaningful connections.

Why did a busy person like My Van choose Panhou Retreat for a family getaway?

Amid the fast-paced life of the capital, My Van shared that she sometimes felt she was “losing” quiet moments with her loved ones. Rushed meals and phone conversations could never replace walking together under trees or breathing in the scent of the mountains. She chose Panhou not for modern luxury, but for a place where her family could truly “belong together” during three precious days.

A 3-day journey of reconnecting and nurturing happiness in Ha Giang

Day 1: Letting go and restoring calm

After nearly 280 km from Hanoi, the family felt tired. But that quickly faded upon arriving at Panhou. Fresh air filled with the scent of greenery replaced the noise of the city, while the sound of streams brought immediate calm. In the afternoon, the family relaxed together in natural hot mineral baths.

My Van shared: “Seeing my husband, who had long suffered from joint pain, fully relaxed in the warm water, while my little children laughed joyfully, I knew this was the right decision.” The experience not only restored the body but also washed away stress and urban noise. In the evening, the family gathered around a table of local specialties, where conversations naturally grew longer and more meaningful.

Day 2: Connecting with nature and local culture

The 8 km trek to Giang Ha village was a gentle yet rewarding challenge. Along the winding paths, the family supported one another, sharing stories across generations. Grandparents spoke of their childhood, while laughter echoed through the mountains.

In the afternoon, the Red Dao herbal bath became the highlight. More than 10 herbs were boiled in a large wooden tub, releasing a warm and distinctive aroma. Soaking in the water relaxed every muscle and awakened every sense. That night, the family experienced one of the deepest and most restful sleeps they had ever had.

Day 3: Bringing peace back home

Instead of rushing, the family spent their final morning enjoying tranquility. By the infinity pool, they admired the floating sea of clouds while children curiously explored nature. There was no pressure, no rush, only peace and togetherness.

My Van beautifully expressed: “We didn’t just bring back souvenirs, we brought home a sense of peace.”

Panhou Retreat: Creating meaningful family connections

The story of My Van’s family is not unique. In fact, 95% of families visiting Panhou Retreat report stronger bonds after their stay. A meaningful trip is not measured by photos, but by emotional transformation.
