Apart from the town’s inherent natural splendour there is much to discover in the cool hamlet itself. Home to a number of Chinese temples that are located all across the region, the Chinese architectural elements in most of the town’s structures are equally engaging with their old fashioned and decidedly Chinese appearance. Jade and other Chinese specialties are also sold in most Mae Salong shops along with dried mushrooms, herbs, wines and preserved fruits.

Those with an interest in local cuisine will find that most restaurants in Mae Salong offer southern Chinese dishes and delicacies. Lined with quaint tea shops, these local cafes are the best place to discover the region’s brew of choice. Juicy lychees and sweet tasting peaches are also locally grown fruits that must be sampled for their sheer freshness and reputation. Mae Salong also houses a museum that documents the region’s rich history as well as a village market that sells locally produced items. Surrounded by several Akha, Hmong, Lisu and Mien tribal villages Mae Salong also serves as a great gateway to these indigenous communities.
