Pu Vap (Muong Lay – Dien Bien) is situated at the elevation of 1,100 m above the sea level, stretching along narrow valley encircled Da river, Nam Na river, and Nam Lay stream. Pu Vap is completely able to become one of the best mountain resorts in Vietnam.
According to Thai ethnic people, Pu Vap means the highest mount in the West. It is surrounded by high mountain and river. This point is ideal place for viewing surrounding mountain landscape, especially when the sun rises. Once, in 1948, Pu Vap was settled by French as a summer resort for French army officers to stay away from humid days in low land.
The remaining vestiges of the mountain resort are 2 ruin buildings, one km apart from each other. It was said that there used to be a military airport stayed between 2 these buildings.
