Here are some small experiences to share with you when going to Y Ty.
Vehicles, transport to Y Ty

To get to Y Ty, from Hanoi you can buy a train ticket to Lao Cai or catch a passenger bus to Lao Cai (or Sa Pa). From Lao Cai (Sa Pa) to move into Y Ty, many vehicles can be used but the most convenient is motorcycles. You can choose to bring a motorbike from Hanoi or rent a motorbike in Lao Cai or Sa Pa. There are two roads from Lao Cai to Y Ty. One is Lao Cai - Bat Xat town - Trinh Tuong - A Muc Sung - Lu Lu - Ngai Thau - Y Ty. The road is quite beautiful, only a few places have water flowing through due to heavy rain. The road is not too steep. The total road is about 80km (note: the section from A Mú Sung - Lung Po - A Lu is a border patrol road so it is very bumpy and difficult to go). The second is Lao Cai - Sa Pa - Muong Hum - Y Ty, now the road is very beautiful and easy to go.

A few notes when going to Medicine
Because Y Ty is a border commune, along the way there will be a number of border posts and stations, stop at any area where there are stations or stations you should also talk to the border guards so they know.
When renting a car in Sa Pa, the service usually requires you to leave your identity card. So you need a copy of a notarized copy or passport to rent a car. Original identity card should be kept in person to report to the border.
