Phongsaly is a district of Luang Namtha Province in the north of Laos, bordering Mengla County of Xishuangbanna Prefecture in Yunnan Province of China, and located on the edge of the "Golden Triangle" where China, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam meet. The area is characterized by mountainous terrain, with tributaries of the Mekong River running through it, giving rise to a rich natural ecology and diverse ethnic cultures such as Dai, Hani and Yao. The local economy is based on traditional agriculture, producing tea, corn and other crops, and in recent years, it has gradually developed based on border trade. Bei Shan retains the original village style and traditional handicrafts, such as Dai brocade and Yao silver jewelry, which is a secret place to experience the rural life in northern Laos. Despite the relatively inconvenient transportation, its unique border atmosphere and simple folk customs attract the attention of those seeking in-depth travel.
