Panhou Retreat: Time freezes in the midst of Hoang Su Phi

You return to Panhou Retreat to savor wonderful dishes with flavors found nowhere else.

>> Panhou Retreat: It’s not only the destination but also a place to return

Welcoming the female writer Cleméntine and her close friends back to Panhou Retreat for the third time, familiar surroundings still provide peace to the spirit, making adventure and nature lovers choose to return.

Emotional factors

You return to Panhou Retreat to view the rustic bangalow like the indigenous people's roof gathering in the calm and peaceful while returning to see yourself in your old memories, leaving the phone, turning off wifi, talking like childhood, and having "non-verbal conversations" with nature...

Most domestic and foreign travelers who visit Panhou Retreat, like Cléméntine, will return at least once in their lives. They return to walk barefoot on inanimate stones in a cool and transparent heart, where their ears can hear the wind blowing and birds singing on the trees, and their eyes may wander through the deep green forests. Terraced fields in the distance, golden as ripe rice, sometimes as white as big mirrors in the pouring season...

You come back to Panhou to reacquaint yourself with old feelings. When the mountains and woodlands were still shrouded in morning mist, the delicious scent of sticky rice followed the soft air someplace, "awakening" all of your senses after a good night's sleep . Mornings are also spent savoring a cup of old Shan Tuyet tea, which has been produced, cared for, harvested, and prepared entirely by hand.

You return to Panhou to indulge in your enthusiasm for exploring nature: trekking - tropical "forest bathing". With a friend by your side, a rucksack on your back, comfy shoes on your feet, hands on a cane, and away from social media, commit your entire focus to reality.

It's noteworthy to note that when visitors arrive at Panhou Retreat, they frequently open up their own paths to explore nature, mountains, and woods. Follow the little paths into the heart of the legacy to clearly sense the ancient and pure values in the location where heaven and earth meet.

A trip full of life and emotions is "healed" by breathing into the chest, allowing the air to enter every cell of the body, spreading your heart in each deep forest, allowing your vision to follow the sunbeams... and lulling the mind into a tranquil place.

If you calm down and explore, nature may be used as therapy to help you "purify" your problems and concerns.

You return to the comfortable bangalows of Panhou Retreat after a lovely "forest bathing" tour, where devoted service staff await you. The spa treatment using the medicinal leaves of the Red Dao people to care for your physical and emotional health is complete.

Visitors will never forget the feeling of being submerged in a fragrant wooden tub, relaxing the body, dilation of the capillaries, and the rich essences of the forest trees tinkling slowly seeping through their delicate skin. These are valuable Dao remedies that have been passed down through legend.

According to legend, every spring, when the trees sprout and bloom and the natural flavors and spirits of heaven and earth converge, the Red Dao people cross the forest to wade through the stream in search of precious medicinal plants to make a Dao herbal bath that is believed to cure all diseases.

"Framed" time tempo

You return to Panhou Retreat to savor wonderful dishes with flavors found nowhere else. You return to enjoy a peaceful night's sleep  among the trees. You return to greet the committed service staff's cheerful gaze...

"Silence is the essence," Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh stated. We require stillness in the same way that a tree requires sunshine. We can't find time for ourselves if our heads are always occupied with computations and anxieties."

Whether we like it or not, we can't "stand out" from the constant rush and bustle. In a way, Panhou Retreat has helped sensitive souls who easily fall into the "precarious realm," such as French female writers or entrepreneurs, to quickly regain balance, regenerate mental-physical health, and "wake up" the "sleep ing" energy field from which to find the best version of themselves.

With each step of discovery and personal experience, you will understand the value of a "memory area", a separate "refuge". Panhou Retreat with the devotion of those who understand the true value of "calmness for progress - movement for peace" and the rustic sincerity of the indigenous peoples, will make every effort to keep and preserve the pure emotions. Let Panhou Retreat be a place to "stop time" in the middle of the Hoang Su Phi heritage forest to welcome you back!
