Pa Vay Su frontier post, Phong Tho district, Lai Chau province, situated next to Then Seo Ho at 1,600 above sea level, enjoys a cold climate of between 5 and 17oC, making it ideal for breeding salmon and sturgeon from Northern Europe.
The idea of raising salmon at Pa Vay Su was started by Colonel Duong Trong Dong, Commander of the National Defence Headquarters in Lai Chau province.
The frontier post of Pa Vay Su in Lai Chau was assigned to run a breeding farm for salmon in 2008. The farm earns around VND2 billon from breeding fish each year, a major business in the northwestern mountainous province.
