Conquering high cliffs allows you to see everything that is going on around you.

In the Northeast region, Ha Giang is a popular tourist destination for both domestic and international visitors. Nature has blessed it with pristine landscapes, including a network of rivers, mountains, majestic rocky plateaus, and winding passes.

Among the many ways to enjoy the country's first place, if you like to explore, adventure, and check in strange corners, you can find your own new inspiration in an area where few people come in the land of "flowers blooming on the rock."

Coming to Ha Giang alone

Van Son (currently living and working in Hanoi) recently completed a journey through Vietnam.

Son has visited 30 provinces and cities in Vietnam after a solo journey of nearly 5,700 kilometers on a motorcycle.

"My previous job was in the film. Many beautiful regions in Vietnam have left me with a lasting impression. I've since decided to become a travel vlogger "Van Son revealed.

Van Son traveled by himself.

The 25-year-old aspires to share more images of human life, and the cultural identities of the places he has visited, and to film footage of each place he has visited.

Continuing his passion, Son decided to travel alone to Ha Giang - the northern highlands - in November.

Conquer the white cliffs

White cliffs - a destination for daring souls.

"There are many beautiful places in Ha Giang that attract many people, but I wanted to find a more private, quiet space and walk to make footprints on the beautiful land, so I decided to conquer the white cliff," 9X explained.

The white cliff is the back of a mountain at the top of the Ma Pi Leng Pass, one of Vietnam's most dangerous passes.

According to locals, when there is no Happiness road, the road along the white cliff is the main passage between Dong Van and Meo Vac. White cliff is also where the Cat King and his entourage pass and often stop to rest before. The trail with stone steps leading up here has been around for a long time.

Large white limestone patches stand out among the clouds and mountain winds.

Van Son rode his motorcycle from the Happy Road Museum through the death rock area, down a valley, and up to the observatory. Son arrived at the walking path to begin exploring the white cliff after riding his motorcycle for about 3 kilometers on a difficult road with a cliff on one side and a chasm on the other.

The path along the mountain slope is only wide enough for one person to walk; there are stone steps and iron fences to ensure the safety of tourists.

The white cliff area has a snout cliff thanks to geology's miraculous tectonics, providing enough space for a few people to camp overnight and watch the stars or catch the sunrise when they wake up.

"Going a little further, I discovered lush green beds blooming yellow throughout the area, planted at the base of the white cliff. In the near future, there are clusters of 3-4 trees, the name of which I do not know, but most of them have died dry, leaving only one tree, which I will call a lonely tree for the time being "Son stated. Van Son rated this location as the best in the area and the best place to take photos.

Backpackers can see the beauty intertwined between clouds and mountains, of the Nho Que river, Tu Loi gorge, watching the group of backpackers go in succession on the Happiness Road... from this height.

"To return, you can go all the way to the mountainside, where there will be a small path leading down Happiness Road, or you can go back to where you started," Van Son explained.

Before exploring the rugged cliffs

According to Van Son, many things must be prepared before we embark on our journey. However, the most important factor is one's health.

With the constantly changing terrain of Ha Giang's steep passes or the walking distance as far as the white cliffs, you must refer to the area's terrain, including the path and the way back. Adventurers, in particular, must monitor the weather situation while also considering safety, advantages, and difficulties prior to departure.

The luggage should be as small as possible.

Because the distance to the cliff is quite long, carry-on utensils must be as compact as possible, aside from replenishing drinking water and snacks. The outfit is soft and stretchy, allowing for easy movement. Lightweight waterproof wind jackets are ideal for foggy conditions. Clinging sneakers are ideal for trekking in slick, difficult-to-walk terrain.

Furthermore, if you intend to spend the night, you must bring enough warm clothing as well as tents, camps, and personal belongings.

It should be noted that you should not litter, engrave names, write letters, or draw on cliffs.

"We come here to enjoy the beauty of nature, take only beautiful photos and videos, and leave only footprints," he explained.

Break boundaries, go where you want

Each journey has its own meaning and brings with it a wide range of emotions.

"Trips refresh my soul and inspire my work," the 25-year-old explained.

For Son, the most exciting aspect of each trip is not only enjoying nature and learning more about the country's culture and history, but also the opportunity to chat with and meet many new friends on the road.

Although initially unfamiliar, it brings people closer together due to shared interests. Each brings a story about how the young man seeks newness and positive energy.

Each of us carries a sense of wonder and discovery with us. Take the time to plan a trip if at all possible. Every journey, no matter how long or short, will make you appreciate life and your country more.

Fansipan

- Hiking approximately 7-20 kilometers

- Time away from home of 1-3 days with medium difficulty

Vietnam's highest mountain, at 3147m (10,326ft), provides an interesting challenge, though the rugged path and frequent rain make the journey quite slippery. In this rugged terrain, guides are required and reasonable.

When the sky is clear, climb the slopes of Fansipan for stimulating climbs and spectacular views of the "Alps of Tonkin."

Furthermore, from The Ton Pass on the mountain's northern slopes, you can easily reach the top of the mountain known as the "roof of Indochina." There are also difficult alternative trails that begin in Cat Cat (Cát Cát) and Sin Chai (Sín Chải) villages and require camping for a night or two.

Village of Mai Chau

The most accessible hiking arc in the North, located close to Hanoi.

Trekking from 5 to 18 kilometers in 1-2 days

Mai Chau, 135 kilometers southwest of Hanoi, stands out with a strip of green terraces. Every season in Mai Chau is charming in its own way. It is a welcoming and easy-to-access land for white Thai communities who practice the traditional craft of colorful handmade garments.

If you want to learn about the local culture, the 18-kilometer road from Ban Lác village to Xa Linh village is a must-see. Hundreds of stilt houses dating back up to 700 years can be found in the village. It also has an endless rice field view and stilt homestays to rest in. It should be noted that, if necessary, visitors should only participate in trekking on the first day of the week because weekends will be crowded with visitors from Hanoi.

Domestic and international experts have discovered the length of Southeast Asia's longest volcanic cave at H.Krong No, Dak Nong province, after many days of exploration and discovery.

In Dak Nong province, experts and explorers discover the longest contract system in Southeast Asia. Dak Nong province's Department of Information and Communications.

As a result, during the survey of cave C7 - Southeast Asia's longest contract - expert groups discovered some new branches and explored an additional 175 meters of the cave's length. The length of cave C7 has increased to 1,240 meters as a result of this new discovery. This will be a valuable source of scientific material for international heritage, supplementing the upcoming dossier for re-appraisal.

The contract in H.Krong No is a basalt contract system about 10 km long that scientists discovered in 2014, setting a record for scale, length, and uniqueness in Southeast Asia.

Have you ever wondered if Dalat looks the same to international tourists, especially those with sophisticated travel experience, as it does to us? If so, we discover a whole new Dalat through the closed mausoleum of Australian travel writer and blogger Emily.

EMILY – A TRAVEL BLOGGER WITH A SPECIAL LOVE FOR VIETNAM

Emily is a journalist who is passionate about fair trade, responsible tourism, and sustainable fashion. Emily is currently a freelance writer, photographer, and travel blogger. Emily is passionate about cultural exploration, advocating for responsible, sustainable tourism, and assisting communities in developing through tourism.

Emily began her global journey in 2015, writing on her blog, "I have always held a special place in my heart for Vietnam and this is where I have always wanted to write about."

EMILY'S LENS ON DALAT - THE CITY OF SPECIAL ARCHITECTURAL WORKS

Instead of being drawn to Da Lat's vast pine forests, majestic waterfalls, or cool weather, Emily is drawn to the city's unique architecture.

Dalat has everything that a tourist who loves architecture, like Emily, is looking for: luxurious colonial-style villas, rudimentary concrete buildings, wooden houses built in the last century, French architecture with perfectly symmetrical houses painted in bright colors like gold or pastel pink, and liberal planning.

When the French came to Dalat, they gave it wide boulevards, wide roundabouts, and beautiful flower gardens. They have also constructed a variety of villas, monasteries, and European government buildings in Da Lat, all of which can be compared to Hanoi or Hoi An.

She also stated that, with works constructed between the 1930s and 1940s, Dalat is the most interesting place for those looking for traces of French architecture in Vietnam or simply looking for the most unique photos for their Instagram.

INTERESTING PLACES AT EMILY'S SUGGESTION

DOMAINE DE MARIE CHURCH (VINH SON CHURCH)

The Domaine de Marie church, one of the catholic churches built in the 1940s, is built in French architecture with a striking pink color that can turn coral or brick depending on the angle of the sun. The church's main entrance is a slope leading up a small hill with stairs and fences lined with shadows cast by the surrounding flower gardens.

A large monastery painted in similar colors, graceful and feminine, is located behind the church. Emily was also taken with the cross symbol on the shutters and the cane stripe details on the top floor windows.

PASTEUR INSTITUTE

Emily stated that visitors can find Pasteur Institute branches in many cities throughout Indochina and that the Pasteur Institute is now owned by the Vietnamese government. Emily's fantasy hobby in Hanoi was photographing administrative buildings. Still, in Dalat, the security guard at the station greeted her warmly and instructed her to take pictures in front of the gate. Emily was particularly taken with the building's perfect symmetry (the house had an unintentionally Wes Anderson feel to it) and its bright yellow and steel-gray color palette.

NICHOLAS CHURCH (CHICKEN CHURCH)

The Romanesque-style church, which was built of bricks in 1930, took a decade to complete. Because it is the city's largest church, the Chicken Church is also known as Nicholas Church or Dalat Church.

The church has recently been freshly painted in an eye-catching cream-pink color, and the entire church and complex are meticulously maintained. Emily's favorite feature of this church is its magnificent stained glass windows and relief sculptures.DALAT RAILWAY STATION

Emily believes that Dalat Station, designed by French architects in 1932, is the city's most famous structure. The station was part of the Dalat-Thap Cham railway, which connected Da Lat with Northern Vietnam when it opened in 1938. Both the station and the railway have a long history. Tourists are currently served along this route.

The station, renamed the "Dalat Highland Railway" and decorated in a classic style, is the site's defining feature, but the buildings behind it are even more appealing when one of the carriages is converted into an acafé.

Emily revealed that this was the only place in Da Lat where she had to pay to take photos, with a ticket price of 10,000 VND per person.

FRENCH VILLA VILLAGE

Emily realized the difference between French architecture in Hanoi and Da Lat after arriving at this location. In Hanoi, old houses are frequently located close to each other on the same small street corner, and visitors can easily walk around and explore everything. In Dalat, French villas line both sides of the long main road, making walking appear more difficult. Emily recommends that visitors pick a small section of this long road to walk around.

She gradually discovers why this beautiful city is famous for its mysterious and somewhat creepy stories at this attraction. The neighborhood is full of long-abandoned houses, some of which have been refurbished but retain a distinct ancient and mystical feel. At this location, Emily was also impressed by a hotel called Green Dream Dalat Hostel.

YERSIN COLLEGE

Despite knowing that Yersin College is one of the International Architectural Association's (UIA) 1,000 outstanding architectural works of the twentieth century, both historically and aesthetically, Emily is surprised to see it in use.

The massive bell tower and walls are solidly built of red monolithic ceiling tiles, arched doors, and classrooms, all on an unthinkable scale, according to Emily. Emily was also surprised that the school was still open for business while the door was open to welcome tourists when she visited this location.

PALACE III BAO DAI

Emily's next recommended destination in Da Lat is King Bao Dai's Summer Palace (Palace III Bao Dai). This is the most popular tourist attraction on the list and one of the few colonial structures that have been completely restored on the inside.

Emily was particularly taken with the Art Deco style of this 1933 mansion. Emily also stated that the ticket price of 15,000 VND / person is a very reasonable price for visitors to visit a beautiful and historic mansion like Bao Dai Palace.

HOTEL DU PARC DALAT AND CAFÉ LA POSTE

The Hôtel du Parc and Cafe La Poste are located on the same street near Dalat Cathedral. Du Parc Da Lat, according to Emily, is not as grand as Metropole in Hanoi or Continental in Saigon, but with the same architectural school as Bauhaus, it's an interesting getaway when visiting Dalat. Emily recommends a tea party at the Belle Époque-style Le Café de la Poste restaurant.

ESCAPING THE CITY FOR A MOUNTAIN VILLAGE

People visit Yen Bai primarily to see the rice terraces, eat delicious dishes made from nuggets, and immerse themselves in the refreshing hot spring water. But, thanks to Hoi, a Tay ethnic friend from college, I recently learned about Lam Thuong Valley, a name that many people haven't heard of because it's very wild, peaceful, and, most importantly, untouristed. Many times, I've put work aside to carry my backpack to the remote mountain village to "hide."

On an early winter day, I took a 5-hour sleeper bus from Hanoi to the Luc Yen district of Yen Bai. After another 15 kilometers of zigzagging road in a motorbike taxi, I arrived at Tong Pang (Tông Pắng) village, Lam Thuong commune, which is nearly 260 kilometers from the capital.

It was almost noon because it was 7 a.m., and the villages deep in the Lam Thuong valley gradually appeared before my eyes. There is only one way to get to the valley. People in the village continue to raise livestock in order to be self-sufficient in food. When you visit Lam Thuong, you will see traditional Tay (Tày) stilt houses, streams, and waterfalls deep in the jungle, and even caves and high mountains with few footprints.

If you arrive in Lam Thuong, the majority of visitors will stop at The Xới – Xôi Farmstay. It is also the only homestay where you can experience the life of a genuine Tay ethnic family. She is a 9X Tay girl who has returned to her hometown after many years of learning to travel and work as a guide, transforming her own home into a place to welcome visitors, combining gardening and fish ponds to increase production for her family. As soon as I stepped through the gate, the entire family, from the elderly to the children, greeted me with questions, smiles, and kindness that made me feel at ease.

Initially, guests were just friends of the brothers in the house, but as time passed, someone shared and made small tours on their own, and eventually, foreign guests learned about it and chose it as a place to rest and relax. The longer he stayed in his hometown, the more he realized that his home and hometown could become a destination for those who prefer to live slowly, enjoy nature, and seek to rediscover themselves. As a result, she has decided to "escape to her hometown" as a homestay until now. I secretly admire you, one of the young people who dare to be themselves, to build a dream, and to lay the first brick for Lam Thuong to become a destination for those who want to learn about indigenous culture.

DIVE INTO THE PEACEFUL NATURE

On my first day in Lam Thuong, Xới took me to the Nặm Chắn waterfall, which is about 6 kilometers from my house. Because the waterfall water from the watershed flows out, it is very clear and cool, and both villagers and visitors agree that bathing is very enjoyable. People travel to the falls through rice fields, palm trees with umbrellas, and bamboo forests with green bamboo. If you can still see people's houses and flocks of ducks snuggling in the first paragraph, the next paragraph will be just you and the mountains and forests are overgrown with trees. Although the road has improved and can be ridden by motorcycle, most visitors to the falls prefer to trek. We crept into the forest to find the waterfall in the last days of the year, stomping our feet on the rustling dry leaves, following the sound of the Khuoi Luong stream, and then to the big waterfall. We stopped, closed our eyes, and took a deep breath before sitting down on the waterfall to feel the cool water around our feet, and soon saw the small fish come to "massage" us very pleasantly. If you want to push yourself even further, you can climb over large sprawling rocks and swerve through the last dense bushes to reach the top of the falls while watching the saliva splash white underfoot. The sound of the waterfall rumbling and flowing in unison with the sound of birds chirping in the middle of a lush forest. Visitors from noisy cities, like me, want to sit there forever, soaking in the atmosphere and sounds of the mountains and forests.

The fresh stream flows down from the waterfall at Nặm Chắn.

Stream flowing from the Nặm Chắn waterfall.

We returned home in the evening to eat a meal prepared by Xới's parents using the same ingredients as before, including chicken, rabbit, fish, and fresh vegetables. The warm meal in the yellow light of the courtyard at the foot of the stilt house was occasionally accompanied by laughter. Then, as the village went to sleep, we, strangers still sitting together, told headless stories, heard insects chirping, and gazed up at the starry sky before falling asleep.

Tày people's rustic dish of grilled skewered pork.

The next day, I borrowed a bicycle by myself and cycled around the villages of Tông Pắng, Tông Pình Cại, and Thâm Pất. Even though I had harvested all of the golden roots smelling of ripe rice, I was engrossed in watching the field and inhaling the clear air. Valley Lam Thuong was surrounded by mountains and forests, and he noticed clouds swooping down on the roofs early in the morning. Because the villagers are farmers, they frequently get up early, cook breakfast, release cattle, and then go to the field to work as a refuge. As a result, if you look up at the high mountains and see the sun shining, blue smoke has surrounded the palm roofs when you look down at the village.

After breakfast, Xới led us to climb Khau Chảu mountain more than 2km from home. Because the road is not too long but steep, everyone must eat well to climb without faltering. The way up the mountain does not have streams or waterfalls, but in return, it passes many orchards and green trees, and wherever they go, whether patrons or strangers, they are happily invited by the villagers. Along the way, you also encounter herds of cows, buffaloes grazing, and uncles crossing the forest road to harvest corn and bamboo shoots at the end of the season.

Tourists climb Mount Khau Chảu.

Everyone is surprised at the top of Khau Chau Mountain because the peak is not pointed but flat like plain, green grass and dotted with a few large palm trees. Khau Chau is only a few hundred meters high, but the route up many steep sections, whoever comes to Lam Thuong, just set foot in the Tay stilt house, you will immediately feel the airiness as well as the villagers' hospitality.

The Tay people here primarily farm, growing rice, corn, and crops, as well as raising cattle and poultry. Every family has a fish pond in addition to the vast rice fields that cover the valley. Water from mountain streams flows in, keeping the pond stocked with food for the fish and ducks. Many households have more chickens, pigs, rabbits, and dragon fruit plants... Lam Thuong people make many fresh specialties to treat guests, such as purple sticky rice, fish, gourd duck, native chicken, bamboo shoots, and spring moss, thanks to the fertile soil and abundant spring water.

During the harvest season, rice fields become fragrant.

A meal in the village costs only 80,000-150,000 VND but provides both eyes and a full stomach. If you do not order rice at people's homes, trekking journeys, picnics, or streams, there is a shack where you can make a field meal when purchasing meat and fish in the village. Local chickens and ducks roam the field, ensuring that the meat is firm and chewy; fish raised in ponds for natural spring water should be consumed, particularly fish that is not fishy but also very valuable.

Currently, an Xới house serves as a community tourism service in Lam Thuong. Although the village is small, visitors from far away come to the house every year to play Tet and experience the idyllic life and very unique culture of the Tay people. He builds a pair of small stilt houses next to the stream, right next to the big house, for guests to enjoy some privacy when accompanying the couple or family, in addition to the large house that three or four generations of families live in.Upper green rice season in Lâm Thượng Valley.

And if you come here during the Tet holiday, you won't have to travel far because the Tay people in the village already have specialties in the house. They slaughtered pigs to eat until January, prepared kitchen meat, pork sauce, cooked fish, and gourd ducks, wrapped flowers to offer rice to ancestors and traveled long distances to treat guests. Tet visitors can try on traditional indigo dresses, shop for holiday items, go to the market, and actively participate in folk games such as tug of war, pushing sticks, blindfolds, and duck catching.

Lam Thuong does not have particularly unique or well-known scenery, but hidden within him are the breath of peace and soul, quiet but warm nights, and mornings full of clear clouds that cause everyone to feel lightheaded in a moment of simple but profound happiness.

Nặm Me Waterfall

The breathtaking beauty of Nặm Me waterfall.

The waterfall has a length of about 4km and 15 majestic waterfall floors, with small waterfalls interspersed between the large waterfall layers, creating a "soft white silk strip" that stands out among the deep green mountains and forests. The waterfall has a broad and open surface, with water flowing four seasons through primeval forests and limestone mountains, as well as typical old forest trees that are uncommon in the tropics.

Climbing Nặm Me waterfall is determined to travel far. The rapids are challenging, the rocks are continuous, and there are three to four extremely difficult climbing points, as well as vertical cliffs 10-15m high and smooth moss.

The Lam Binh District People's Committee (Tuyen Quang province) has announced the suspension of sightseeing and experience activities at Nm Me waterfall from 8-2022 in order to restore the ecology and environmental landscape.

Residents and visitors who want to visit Nm Me waterfall must register and obtain permission from the district authorities in some cases. Persons boarding the falls must follow all safety precautions.

Khuoi Nhi (Khuổi Nhi) Waterfall

Khuoi Nhi Waterfall is an interesting and must-see attraction for visitors to Lam Binh district, Tuyen Quang province.

The Khuoi Nhi Waterfall from above.

To conquer the waterfall, visitors begin their practice at the foot of the Tuyen Quang hydroelectric dam. After more than an hour of floating on the lakebed and admiring the beautiful scenery on both sides, visitors arrive at Khuoi Nhi waterfall. The waterfall has many levels and flows 3 kilometers from the top of the mountain to the soft lake bed like a fairy hair stream in the middle of thousands.

The Khuoi Nhi waterfall is soft in the middle of Tuyen Quang's mountains and forests.

According to the Na Hang Ecotourism Area Management Board, Khuoi Nhi waterfall has become a popular tourist destination on the lakebed. The unit conducted a survey and made the steps to the falls as convenient and safe as possible. The system of trees and primary forests is preserved in its natural state, with no human intervention.

Khuoi Sung (Khuổi Súng) Falls

Aside from Nặm Me and Khuoi Nhi waterfalls, Khuoi Sung waterfall is known as one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Tuyen Quang province, and the journey to conquer it is also quite difficult.

The magical beauty of Khuoi Sung Waterfall is impressive; many small waterfalls intertwine to create a one-of-a-kind natural picture.

Khuoi Gun Waterfall is a large waterfall that flows from the Sinh Long mountain range, which contains many underground geysers and small ravines that flow to Trung Phin (Trung Phìn) mountain. The waterfall is made up of 15 different large and small waterfalls, each floor ranging in width from 30m to 50m, stretching for about 5km, with an average height of more than 700m above sea level and a large water flow all year.

The waterfall floors range in height from 20m to more than 120m and are divided into many large and small waterfall floors, with the flowing water creating clear puddles at the waterfall's base. When the path is steep cliffs, dense trees, and desolate, conquering 15 floors of waterfalls is a real challenge for visitors.

Lam Binh (Lâm Bình) is a highland district in Tuyen Quang province, as well as a charming mountainous land surrounded by magnificent mountains and deep green forests, with many famous waterfalls such as Nặm Me, Khuoi Nhi, and Khuoi Sung...

In order to promote the potential bestowed by nature, Lam Binh district has focused on tourism development in recent years, with a special emphasis on building and improving the quality of traditional products and tours such as community tourism (homestay); experience tourism, exploring the ecological lake Na Hang - Lam Binh; caves, waterfalls, primeval forests; and experience the Long Tong (Lồng Tồng) festival and the Fire Dance festival.

People have been talking about the season of glittering pink grass carpeted on the deserted hills of Da Lat for the past few years. Few people realize, however, that the image of pink grass hills stretching out to the eyes has been featured in Pham Duy's song since 1970:

"Take me up the hill, there's no grass there.

Pick me up the hill, and we'll meet at sunrise.

Love has beautiful legs.

Remove your sandals and walk on the soft grass."

"Pink Grass" is the title of a song that acts as a diary page for infatuated youth, for musician Pham Duy's romance. Throughout the song, the pink grass hill represents a space filled with various love emotions. Perhaps 50 years ago, to date, the grass did not have to travel as far as it does today because the pink grass was present in the city's hills.

Pink grass is a weed; I'm not sure if it has a poetic name - pink grass - but farmers in this country call it hissing grass. They frequently grow in open ground in gardens, particularly on coffee plantations. The rainy season, according to the people of Da Lat, is the grass that begins to grow on the ground on any vacant land that has been left uncultivated for a long time. The blooming season begins at the end of October. When asked about the locals, they all smiled and replied, "Dalat people, who go to endless remote areas to see flowers?" The natives are not unfamiliar with this grass, nor do they overlook the beauty of these pure velvet carpets. Simply put, they went to the garden or a vacant lot on their way to work and were surrounded by small, idyllic pink grass. Perhaps that is enough for a wildflower to bloom every year for them.

Until about 7 or 8 years ago, photographers and backpackers photographed the morning's shimmering pink grass hills, and these grassy hills became more well-known as a result. However, many people do not carefully learn about the most beautiful grass time of day, so it takes time to dive into the place and then be disappointed.

To get the best view of the grass, you must "ambush" early in the morning, between 5 and 7 a.m. You will be able to witness the transformative moments of velvet carpets spanning dozens of hectares. Around 5.6 a.m., the sun was still hidden behind the hills, with only a sliver of light in the sky, grass, and dew like a thin layer of succulent snow on the ground. Dreamers also refer to pink grass as snow grass at this time. Young people frequently choose to date each other to camp, spend the night in the grassy hills, and wake up the next morning to see a region that is both pure and wild in front of their eyes, sit and tell headless stories together, or quietly enjoy the cool peaceful air. In a poetic setting, silence is sufficient.

The sun rises around 6 to 7 a.m., the early rays of the day reflect on hundreds of millions of tiny dewdrops clinging to the leaves, the flowers make the scene shimmer, and the grass color changes from green to pink. This is the time of year when many people fall in love, and it is also the best time to take photos with pink grass.

The Golden Valley tourist area and the Lonely Tree area are two popular places to see pink grass. To reach these pink grass hills from the center of Da Lat, take the Hoa Binh area landmark and travel about 20 kilometers towards Suoi Vang Lake, to the gate of the Golden Valley tourist area, and turn your left hand. Dalat also hosts the annual Pink Grass Hill festival here. If you want more privacy to enjoy the tranquility, walk 5 kilometers to the Golden Valley junction in the direction of Cu Times village, then continue on the trail for another 5 kilometers to the Lonely Tree. The road to this location is long and difficult to reach, but once there, you will find it worthwhile. In front of you is a lake, in the distance are hillsides hidden behind a thin mist, behind you is a forest of pine leaves gleaming in the early sun and a delicate pink stretches at the foot of the grass.

Dalat with pink grass, wild kneeling, purple phoenix, cloud dew, and weather in desperate need of warmth... Not only is it a popular tourist destination, but it has also become a popular private location for couple dating. Thinking about that place over the years was not filled with glorious nostalgia, but with a light breath, a quiet story, whispering together...

Even for those who have traveled to the West, the Tien Giang travel journey to discover ancient houses familiar to indigenous people will be extremely new. Visitors will feel as if they have revisited a time that they have only heard about briefly in history books, enjoying many details that no one has told or told them.

The House of Doc Phu Hai (Đốc Phủ Hải)

Address: 49 Hai Ba Trung, Ward 1, Go Cong Town, Tien Giang Province.

The Governor's House of Hai has both modern French architecture and ancient feudal times because it contains many stories about the great god Pham Dang Hung (Phạm Đăng Hưng) in the Royal Tomb a few kilometers away, Empress Dowager Tu Du (Từ Dũ) of the Hue court, and the leader of the rebels, national hero Truong Dinh (Trương Định). The exterior is built in Roman style, while the interior is mostly made of exquisitely sculpted ebony and meticulously written in Confucian script. The house contains over 350 decorative sea molds, grand letters, mother-of-pearl mosaics, and 70 artifacts. Visitors come to experience what a feudal landlord's regal life is like.Ms. Tran Thi Sanh (Trần Thị Sanh), the daughter of ba ho (bá hộ) Tran Van Do (Trần Văn Đổ) and Pham Thi Phung (Phạm Thị Phụng), lives in this house. Ms. Phung is the sister of Empress Dowager Tu Du's cousin, Ambassador Pham Dang Hung. Ms. Tran Thi Sanh (wife of national hero Truong Dinh) left the house to her stepson Duong Thi Huong (Dương Thị Hương) and son-in-law tri huyen (tri huyện) Truong Binh when she entered the temple to seek refuge, so this location is often referred to as Ba Huyen's (Bà Huyện) House.

This is one of three famous relics to visit: the Royal Mausoleum, the Truong Dinh tomb and temple, and the Doc Phu Hai (Đốc Phủ Hải) building.

Go Cong Governor’s Palace

Address: Located on Nguyen Van Con Street, Ward 2, Go Cong Town, Tien Giang Province.

If the Hai governor's house is the largest residence, the Go Cong governor's palace is the largest public office. The governor's mansion is a two-story house with a total area of 1400m2 on a large campus with many trees.

This is one of three famous relics to visit: the Royal Mausoleum, the Truong Dinh tomb and temple, and the Doc Phu Hai building.

Go Cong (Gò Công) Governor's Palace

Address: Located on Nguyen Van Con Street, Ward 2, Go Cong Town, Tien Giang Province.

If the Hai governor's house is the largest residence, the Go Cong governor's palace is the largest public office. The governor's mansion is a two-story house with a total area of 1400m2 on a large campus with many trees.The French built this structure in 1885 with a nearly 0.5m thick wall. The building has recently gained popularity and is now frequented by both local youth and tourists.Bach Cong Tu (Bạch Công Tử) House

Address: 62 Dinh Bo Linh, Ward 3, My Tho City, Tien Giang Province.Bach Cong Tu (Bạch Công Tử) Le Cong Phuoc (Lê Công Phước) House was built between 1925 and 1926 on a land area of more than 4,000 m2. Mr. Le Cong Phuoc was born in the early twentieth century when he was known as the "king of play." His relaxed appearance, fair complexion, cavalier demeanor, and arrogance but poise earned him the moniker "Bạch Công Tử." Simultaneously, to distinguish himself from another notoriously wealthy individual, "Hắc Công Tử" Tran Trinh Huy (Trần Trinh Huy (Công Tử Bạc Liêu).His house has "sticky" Western architecture as a result of a study abroad period in France. The entire truss system is made of precious wood, and the house has up to eight fish-scale tile roofs. The walls are 20 cm thick, and the foundation is made of card tiles, leather stone cladding, and encaustic tiles. Dragons, phoenixes, birds, animals, and flowers are embossed and intricately carved on the main door arches and the door arches on both sides.

The Bach Cong Tu’s House in the past - Image:thamhiemmekong

Mr. Le Cong Phuoc used to set up a salary reform burden for both business and fame, but he eventually lost money. He was so desperate that he had to sell his property, then his house, eventually succumbing to addiction and dying. He was buried on the land that had once been his when he died. Nobody expected the region's richest man to die with nothing in his hands, and the grave was also cultivated with temporary land.

Later, when the Bach Cong Tu house was designated as a provincial historical-cultural relic, it was restored with objects such as tables and chairs, chandeliers, discographies, and miniatures,... and more trees were planted to give it a "luxurious" appearance at the start. The house is nearly a century old, but it still has the architectural beauty of the old wealthy class. This location is regarded as one of the oldest tourist attractions.Royal Tomb of Go Cong

Address: Located in Giong Son Quy (Giồng Sơn Quy) (Gò Rùa), today in Hoang Gia hamlet, Long Hung commune, Go Cong town, Tien Giang province.

This is the Pham Dang (Phạm Đăng) family's place of worship and tomb, whose grandfather Pham Dang Hung (Phạm Đăng Hưng) is the grandfather of King Tu Duc (Tự Đức), a relative of Queen Dowager Tu Du (Từ Dũ), wife of King Thieu Tri (Thiệu Trị).

The entrance gate is built in a stylized triangular style, with a roof of borage tiles and a top carved with the image of a "moon carp" (carp looking at the moon) representing the owner's elegance. The mausoleum's unique feature is that it is entirely made of wood, with no nails used to connect wooden slats, trusses, or columns, but instead is chiseled together correctly.

Dong Hoa Hiep Ancient Village

Address: Located in Dong Hoa Hiep commune, Cai Be district, Tien Giang province located in the lower Mekong River.

The Nguyen dynasty established a new unit, Long Ho Palace, in the eighteenth century, in 1732, and chose An Binh Dong village in present-day Dong Hoa Hiep commune as its capital. Dong Hoa Hiep village attracted many officials and wealthy landowners during its 25-year tenure as the seat of Long Ho Palace (1732-1757). As a result, the houses are constructed of precious wood with tile roofs, both tall and wide, in accordance with Eastern and Western architecture. The house is in an ideal location: next to the river, there is an orchard... so this village has a very distinctive appearance.These ancient gardeners have existed for over 150 years and are connected within a 2km radius, allowing visitors to walk around the village.

The floating market is regarded as the Southwest's "soul." Visitors come here not only for the beauty of the charming river but also for the experience of trading and dining on a bustling and unique canoe. Although it is the same floating market, each region's floating markets have its own distinct and interesting characteristics.

Cai Rang Floating Market - Can Tho

Cai Rang floating market is a wholesale market specializing in wholesale trading of Mekong Delta fruits and agricultural products. It is located at the confluence of three rivers (Cai Rang and Hau river tributaries). The market was designated a national intangible cultural heritage site in 2016. It was once Overseas China's largest rice buyer in the WestCai Rang floating market used to operate from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m. when it was a wholesale market. Business people frequently have to leave early because this is when merchants go to pick up goods to sell from other locations. Now that tourism is more active in the area, the market opens from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. to serve tourists. The market is very quiet and almost nonexistent on Lunar New Year days such as the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Tet.

It is the market with the most visitors and the most media attention. There are many famous restaurants here, such as the pink noodle shop, whose noodle soup was praised as the "queen of broth" by Gordon Ramsay (a famous Scottish chef and judge on the American Chef King program).Long Xuyen Floating Market - An Giang

Long Xuyen floating market is located on the gentle Hau River, close to Long Xuyen city, An Giang, making it very convenient for visitors to travel. Long Xuyen floating market, unlike many other floating markets, is extremely peaceful and takes place in the middle of a quiet and peaceful space. This place sells very cheaply because it is not affected by the commercialization of tourism. It can be said that the floating market sells goods that are not affected by the price of the tourism business the most. He sells with the sincerity and honesty of a true Western son.

The image of "kelp trees" everywhere instead of the hustle and bustle of sellers is a feature of the Long Xuyen floating market. To attract visitors, the trader will hang the items sold by the boat on the "kelp tree" (a tall pole). So, if you're curious about what that boat sells or what items you'd like to purchase, just look at the "kelp."Nga Bay (Ngã Bảy) Floating Market – Hau Giang

Ngã Bảy market, also known as Phung Hiep (Phụng Hiệp) floating market, is over 100 years old and is located in Ngã Bảy city, Hau Giang province. The Phung Hiep Floating Market was established in 1915, and it was the largest waterway intersection in Cochinchina until the 1940s. The market's distinguishing feature is its location at junction seven, where seven rivers meet. With over 300 boats gathered every day, this location has become the focal point for the majority of the Western provinces' trade, exchange, and transshipment activities.

Thanks to its uniqueness and novelty, the Phung Hiep floating market was made a documentary by Jacques Yves Cousteau – the captain of the famous Calypso ship in 1922. People know that Ngã Bảy floating market is not only a market with a "huge" history, and large scale, but also curious to visit because this place was mentioned in the famous ancient song - The love of selling mats of the late composer Vien Chau (Viễn Châu.

Tra On (Trà Ôn) Floating Market – Vinh Long

Tra On Floating Market is the last floating market on the Hau River before it empties into the sea, located in the Tra On district, Vinh Long province, right between the confluence of the Hau and Mang Nhut rivers. Tra Wen floating market, unlike other floating markets, frequently follows the water. The market is open all day and is busiest in the mornings or during the height of the big water. The trader sells fresh agricultural products in groups distributed by gardeners in the form of wholesale at the Tra On floating market.

This location's main products are fruits of various varieties such as coconut, banana, guava, pineapple, gourmet orange, cup, grapefruit, and jackfruit... Visitors should try the appealing and popular specialties such as vegetarian fish or beef noodle balls served with banana vegetables,...

The bustling and charming river scenery of the "nine dragons" country.While Cai Rang floating market is primarily used for tourism, Nga Nam floating market serves as an important trade hub. Because traffic in these areas is still limited, trade in goods, particularly agricultural products, contributes to transporting more goods to remote areas of the southern Hau River such as Soc Trang, Hau Giang, Bac Lieu, and Ca Mau peninsula. Nga Nam floating market is open almost all day, starting at 2 or 3 a.m. because it is where the largest boats buy, sell, and distribute goods.

Lao Than is probably a well-known name among trekkers, but it is unfamiliar to many others. If you're still curious about this mountain, it's located in Bat Xat district, Lao Cai province, about 80 kilometers from Sapa town.

Although not as majestic as Fansipan, the road is not as dangerous as climbing Putaleng mountain (3,049 m high in Ta Leng (Tả Lèng) commune, Tam Duong (Tam Đường) district, Lai Chau (Lai Châu) province); however, Lao Than is popular with tourists because it is one of the most beautiful cloud hunting spots in the Northwest.

However, Lao Than, like many other places, has the most beautiful times of the year, and if you want to explore and conquer this mountain, the months of October to December and March to May each year are the best. November to January of the following year, in particular, is the best time to hunt clouds and watch the beautiful sunrise.

So, let's go trekking in Lao Than right now!

When you arrive in Lao Than, you will notice that the "sea of clouds" is extremely fond of eyes like this.

Cost of climbing Lao Cai

Hiring a porter is essential for those who have never trekked before, as well as those who have climbing experience. This is also one fixed cost (almost mandatory) when trekking, unlike when traveling elsewhere. However, the cost of porter rentals is not prohibitively expensive, so don't be concerned.

Furthermore, when trekking, it is best to invite only one group to accompany you (about 5-7 people). To be safe, never go alone and never go with too few people.

For your convenience, here is the cost of climbing Lao Than mountain in two days and one night for a group of five people. If you are traveling in a larger group, multiply this amount to estimate your expenses when trekking Lao Than!

Porter not only led the way but also carried items for the friends, bringing more food to prepare for everyone once the group reached the summit. Spend no money on this! It's fine as long as you hire a reputable porter.

General cost:

1 million VND/2 porter rental

200,000 VND for snacks and drinks

500,000 VND for a 2-day motorcycle rental

Lunch costs around 700,000 VND.

Expenses incurred (parking, roadside water): 100,000 VND

As a result, the total general cost is 2.5 million VND/5 people. Divide 500,000 VND by the average person.

Separate expenses (separate items per person)

To get to Lao Than, take the bus to Sapa and allow yourself as much time as possible to rest. In fact, you can go straight to Y Ty (Y Tý), but for those who are not in good health, such a move will consume a lot of energy, not to mention that without time to rest and start the journey right away, climbing will be difficult.

As a result, you must spend more money on buses traveling from Hanoi to Sa Pa. The average round-trip price is 400,000 VND.

Accommodation and meals cost 150,000 VND per person.

The sum of these individual expenses is estimated to be around 550,000 VND per person.

Furthermore, after completing the trekking journey, you can travel to Sapa to walk around and buy specialties as gifts while waiting for the bus from Sapa to Hanoi.

Thus, the cost of climbing Lao Than for two days and one night (including travel from HN to Sapa) is approximately: 1 million VND/person.

The end of the year is beautiful but cold, so make sure you have enough utensils, jackets, and other warm clothing.

What do you need to prepare for?

Each trip must prepare all of the necessary items for the trip to be the most complete, with climbing being especially important.

As a result, here are the essential items that you should not overlook:

- Smooth trekking shoes with a good grip to keep you from slipping. Because walking in the summer is often squashy and sweaty, waterproof climbing.

- Approximately 2-3 raincoats

- Travel backpack: Use a backpack with multiple compartments and shoulder pads to prevent fatigue.

- Tents for camping.

- A sleeping bag.

- Pads for sleeping bags.

- Travel bag with multiple functions

- Clothing: nightgown, sun jacket, wind jacket, etc.

- Pain relievers, abdominal pain medications, headache medications...

- Medical supplies: scissors, gauze, cotton, ego, glucose, etc.

- Insect repellents and sunscreen.

- A camera, a phone, and a power bank.

Furthermore, to serve the dining on top of the mountain, you can bring the following items and ask the porter for assistance if you are not in good enough health:

- Picnic and grilling grills (if you want to organize a BBQ).

- Charcoal, lighters, and aluminum foil

- Ingredients for baked goods that have already been marinated.

- Fast food: cakes, hot dogs, bread...

- Water consumption (sufficient for members).

With the information provided above, you should be able to plan your budget as well as all of the necessary supplies and tools for your journey to the peak of Lao Than Mountain!

Hac Hai Lagoon is a bird nesting area.

Mr. Nguyen Cong Xuan (50 years old) and Ms. Do Thi Hoa (48 years old rice )'s fields in Xuan Hoa village, Hoa Thuy commune, Le Thuy district, Quang Binh province took more than 30 minutes to reach. He smiled at us, his face blackened by the sun and wind.

Mr. Xuan sat on a simple makeshift leaf hut in the vast middle of the lagoon, slowly pouring a cup of water to inviting guests and then telling. His family was granted approximately 10 hectares of rice and aquaculture land on the Hac Hai lagoon in the 2000s. Because birds were flying in the fields at the time, the couple combined rice production with the bird trade as a source of income. Catching wild birds and selling them for a high profit, some days the profit is nearly seven million, but the flock of birds is gradually diminishing, and he feels sorry for the lagoon.

Hac Hai Lagoon is located in Quang Binh province, at the intersection of the districts of Quang Ninh and Le Thuy. This location is rich in historical and cultural significance, as well as shimmering and poetic scenery.

Xuan set sail to look after the bird nests.

"Every night I can't sleep because the storks and cauldrons ring in my ears like a rebuke for my work. I immediately discussed with my wife not trading wild birds anymore, but rather protecting them to make amends for the birds' mistreatment. My wife didn't think much about it and nodded her head in agreement "Xuan stated.

Mr. Nguyen Cong Xuan and Ms. Do Thi Hoa have been protecting birds of prey on the family's rice land in the middle of Hac Hai lagoon since then. He and his wife have always been steadfast in their actions, ignoring the gossip of those around them.

Mr. Nguyen Cong Xuan explained that the act of protecting wild birds stems from the fact that he and his wife feel "indebted" because they once eradicated wild birds to earn a living.

To encourage the birds to return, he and his wife borrowed 100 million VND and traveled to the south to purchase water coconuts to plant. Birds nested in droves during the early years of lush greenery.

However, when a historic flood swept away thousands of water coconuts in 2020, birds were forced to fly to find a new home. Mr. Xuan's family, refusing to give up, is currently preparing to plant fig seedlings and sesame loc.

The final resting place of Mr. Xuan and his wife is the rice field.

According to Mr. Xuan, the investment must also include nearly 200 million VND for the creation of a green belt where many generations of birds can nest. Every nightfall, the sound of birds being trapped has been replaced by the sound of birds flocking to their nests.

On the Hac Hai Lagoon in the afternoon.

Xuan passionately told us how to distinguish each bird through song, and stories about the behavior and habits of each bird, while pointing to the reeds where the birds were flying.

"I hope that everyone will work together to protect the birds of the sky and not aid in actions that endanger the lives of birds in order to protect the ecological balance of the environment, as well as to protect us and our children in the future," Mr. Nguyen Cong Xuan said.

Mr. Xuan and his wife raised mallards in rice fields.

Mr. Xuan's wife, Ms. Do Thi Hoa, revealed, "For the past five years, my wife and I have been working to protect wild birds. The keeping of wild birds has supporters and detractors, but for us, wild birds coming to live on this land are a source of great joy. The sound of storks and birds singing helped me feel secure in my previous actions, and I promised myself that I would protect birds of the sky for the rest of my life."

Mr. Xuan and his wife raised more mallards to increase their income from their rice field, while also cherishing a plan to do ecotourism, experiences for young people, students, and small groups of families in the city on weekends to go to his rice field to watch birds nest; At night, experience the farmer's life with activities such as crabbing, catching snails and sleeping in tents. Mr. Xuan admitted that in order to carry out that plan, he and his wife would have to work even harder.

On the Hac Hai Lagoon in the afternoon.

Both the guests and the owner continued to enjoy each story, oblivious to the fact that the sun had set behind the top of The Head Mountain of the Annamite Mountains. The author believes that with that mindset and humane approach, he and his wife will be successful.

Van Long Lagoon is located in the south of the Tonkin Plain, in Gia Sinh commune, Gia Vien (Gia Viễn) district, Ninh Binh province.

Van Long lagoon's wild and peaceful beauty.

Van Long lagoon has become a key tourist destination in the country, holding two Vietnam Record Book Center records in 2010: "the place with the greatest number of white-rumped langurs" and "the place with the largest natural picture."

Visitors explore Van Long lagoon by boat.

The famous American director Jordan Vogt-Roberts chose this location as the setting for most of the "marine" scenes in the blockbuster film Kong: Skull Island.

According to the Ninh Binh newspaper, Van Long was not a natural freshwater lagoon but was created in 1960 by constructing a dike on the left bank of the Day (Đáy) Rivers to prevent flooding.

Van Long has since grown into a vast wetland of up to 3,500ha, with beautiful rocks and caves, and was opened to tourism in 1998.

Van Long Lagoon is known as "the place with the greatest natural picture."

According to the Ninh Binh Department of Information and Communications website, during the dry season (11 to 4 months next year), Van Long becomes a wintering destination for many migratory birds from the North, including the Bonelli eagle, gray heron, large stork, stork, white stork, cauldron...

Van Long wetland nature reserve was designated as the 9th Ramsar area in Vietnam and the 2,360th Ramsar area in the world in 2019.

Visitors can camp by the Van Long lagoon.

Van Long lagoon is an interesting stopover because of its unspoiled and peaceful natural scenery.

There are also 457 species of higher plants and 35 species of aquatic plants, including flower slices, abstinences, broadleaf trees, tonic cores, cypresses, money codes, canopy flowers, and Tonkin lions, which are all listed in the Book of Vietnam.

Van Long has both peaceful and majestic scenery.

Van Long Lagoon is also known as the "waveless bay," because when sailing on the lagoon, visitors will see the flat water reflecting the majestic mountains like a giant mirror. The water in Van Long Lagoon is crystal clear, revealing the moss on the bottom.

Under the water, grasses and reeds grow wild, as do dog tails and green orchids. The paddles open the water gently, taking visitors around the canyon... in the midst of a poetic, peaceful, and quiet space.

Van Long lagoon, with its pristine and peaceful natural scenery, is an appealing destination for those who enjoy exploring nature and immersing themselves in rivers and mountains.

Vuc Hom Waterfall is in the commune of An Linh (An Lĩnh), Tuy An district, Phu Yen province. The Vuc Hom waterfall is notable for its distinct geological structure.

The rock in The Vuc Hom waterfall has a longitudinal circuit structure, forming vertical blocks with faults snouted like caves, similar to the rock circuit in the special national scenic Ganh Da Dia (Gành Đá Đĩa).

"Upside-down Disc Rock" makes up the Vuc Hom Waterfall.

The waterfall gets its water from a height of about 20 meters, with many basalt columns stacked on top of each other in the shape of "Upside Down Disc Rock."

Aerial view of the Vuc Hom Waterfall.

Visitors should travel about 30 kilometers north on National Highway 1A from Tuy Hoa (Tuy Hòa) city, then turn left onto DT634 road to Van Hoa (Vân Hòa) plateau for about 10 kilometers, then turn right onto a large concrete road, run through forests, and overcome several steep slopes to reach Vinh Xuan (Vĩnh Xuân) village. Motorbikes will come quite close to the waterfall, and visitors can park their cars at people's homes and walk about 600m to the waterfall's base.

To see The Vuc Hom waterfall, visitors must travel along a winding road that is strewn with rocks. However, this is also what makes The Vuc Hom waterfall appealing because it retains the wildness and joy that visitors experience when crossing the road and conquering the waterfall.

The Vuc Hom waterfall's rocks have a longitudinal structure, forming vertical blocks with some faults snouted like caves.

From March to September, the lake at the foot of The Vuc Hom falls is quite large and clear; this is an ideal time for camping and swimming, especially between mid-March and May. The water will be shallow by the end of May, and the waterfall will be very fragile and no longer beautiful.

It is not a waterfall with a high height or many layers of waterfalls, but it is The Vuc Hom waterfall's unique geological structure and poetic nature that attracts visitors from far and wide and receives many votes in the "Top 7 magical waterfalls."

Passers-by will be drawn to the image of the old lady, sitting in front of the old house with a rustic beef noodle pot, radiating fragrance, beginning in the late afternoon when crossing Chi Lang Street (Hue City) to No. 107.Simple, rustic beef noodle shop beneath an old house's porch at 107 Chi Lang (Hue City).

Locals are familiar with this dining location. Phan Thi Mai (80 years old) owns the Hue beef noodle shop and has been selling Hue beef noodles on this road for more than 50 years.

The locals call this simple booth "Bun Bo Sang." There are only three sets of plastic tables and a few low chairs, but just "opening the pot" requires diners to "rub," while waiting in line.

The majority of diners are locals.

When I asked some friends, they told me that the unique, rustic flavor of Hue is what makes this noodle shop stand out.

Mr. Pham Van Lien (80, Gia Hoi Ward, HCMC) Hue), the restaurant's "senior" customer, stated: "Ms. Mai has been selling noodles on this Chi Lang street for 50 years because I eat familiarly, I only eat here to feel delicious, the truest Hue taste."

Bun Bo Sang restaurant's Hue standard water pot.

It's called beef vermicelli, but the original beef noodle soup for Hue people must be "beef noodle soup," so the broth of this 80-year-old woman is also full of meat. Accompanied by greasy crab patties, all blended, turning on the scent as if to awaken the person waiting's senses.

When asked what the secret was to making a "standard" Hue beef noodle pot, the owner was candid: "Mệ (grandmother - PV) will cook everything in the same braised pot, including the meat, spring rolls, patties, and blood tendons. The sweetness will come from the casserole bones, combined with the gentle aroma of lemongrass, and then seasoned to taste, particularly with a little delicious fish sauce."Rich beef noodle bowl with vibrant colors.

Hue-based beef vermicelli is typically smaller than that found elsewhere, and it is made from rice flour mixed with filtered flour, making it clearer and tougher. When you pour water into the vermicelli, it will not break. Raw vegetables are also served "very Hue," with thinly sliced banana corn, herbs, cilantro onions, prices...

She explained that the broth has a mild spicy flavor and little sweetness because the beef noodles are served to Hue people. The water is clear but rich in the spiciness of lemongrass and chili and is best served with a little chili sauce and sliced fruit peppers.For over 50 years, she has been selling noodles on Chi Lang Street.

Ms. Mai charged 25,000 VND for a bowl of beef noodles that embodied the essence of ancient capital cuisine.

"My guests are long-time acquaintances, mostly locals, not passing through, so it's just a price. Sometimes laborers who buy 10,000 mattresses also sell, then give them more to eat, because they do not want to make money when people are unhappy "She stated.Hue people frequently serve with a small amount of chili sauce and sliced fruit peppers in fish sauce.

This rustic Hue beef noodle shop keeps diners not only because of the delicious taste, and standard taste... but also because of the cuteness in the gentle personality of Hue's 80-year-old woman.Served with raw vegetables.The broth pot is always hot and emits a pleasant aroma.Many people come to this Hue beef noodle shop because of her gentle personality.

There's Moc Chau! I used to come here to escape the sweltering heat of summer. I used to hide from the freezing winter night mist. I used to get lost in the lovely flower fields in the spring. On the Hmong New Year, I used to walk in the footsteps of ethnic people. Whatever time I visited Moc Chau, the highland land left me with unforgettable emotions.

When the spring sun shines on Moc Chau Mountain, the typical flowers of the Northwest mountains race to show off. The majestic mountain and forest photos are adorned with plum, plum, and apricot blossoms. The colors of spring paint the poetic scene: pure white apricot flowers, plum blossoms, bright pink peach blossoms, brilliant yellow cabbage beds, and green young buds.

Every degree of spring flower blooming on National Highway 6 from Hanoi to Moc Chau is always crowded with tourists. Simply walk along the main route to see the flower hills. And backpackers who seek pristine beauty frequently visit flower forests in remote villages or regions. There are only mountains and flowers, which are as lovely as a fairy tale!

Nothing beats escaping the sweltering summer sun in a green and refreshing environment like Moc Chau. Wander among the grasslands and green tea hills of Moc Chau Farm Town, or relax and immerse yourself in the cool water of Dai Yem (Dải Yếm) waterfall, or explore famous caves such as The Five Caves (Ngũ Động) of Ban Yen (Bản Yến), Son Moc Huong (Sơn Mộc Hương) cave, and Bat (Dơi) Cave. Ang (Áng) village pine forest is a poetic destination as well, where many tourists appear to be in Da Lat with a peaceful pine forest shining down on the calm lake. Moc Chau now has an ecotourism type to visit peach orchards and plum gardens in the early summer. Visitors can learn about indigenous people's lives by picking fruits with them...

It is still that calm, clear space, but with a chill that makes the scenery of Moc Chau mountain deeper and gentler. The winding tea hills retain their rustic green hue. Many tourists, especially couples taking wedding photos, stop at hills after hills, green after green, terraced tea hills and heart-shaped tea hills. This is also the season for golden ripe rice, which is grown in the villages. Choose an elevated vantage point to spread your eyes over the most beautiful terraced fields. If you plan to visit Moc Chau in the autumn, don't miss the opportunity to celebrate Independence Day 2/9 with the Mong people. If the Hmong people's traditional Tet is only celebrated within the family, family line, or neighboring villages, the Independence Tet has the connection of the Hmong community in many different localities, and they come to Moc Chau town to meet and celebrate Tet. Visitors can not only admire the beauty of traditional costumes, but also participate in and immerse themselves in the Mong people's unique folk activities.

Despite being a cold country, winter in Moc Chau has its own charms. Moc Chau welcomes delegations of visitors to the clam, relaxing in that flowery place while waiting for the fields of white mustard blossoms to bloom. The red dirt road leading to the field's entrance is more vibrant than ever, with flaps of yellow wildflowers, red poinsettia flowers, or simply delicate wildflowers. Visitors will be enticed to forget about time and indulge in flowers or take photographs in areas densely packed with white cabbage, such as Ba Phach (Ba Phách) village, Hammer (Búa) village, and Ang village.

Binh Huong is a mountain range in Uong Bi (Uông Bí) City, Quang Ninh Province, located in Vang Danh (Vàng Danh) Ward. Some tourists know Binh Huong as a "miniature Da Lat" because of its pristine mountainous terrain and fresh climate mixed with cool pine trees.

The vast hills beneath the yellow-burning grass in Binh Huong (Bình Hương) are popular check-in points for Quang Ninh youth and tourists from all over.

Matthew Pike, a Canadian, has written many articles on the travel website "The Culture Trip" about his experiences living in Vietnam. He decided to relocate here because he admired the culture and people. He now resides and works in Ho Chi Minh City.

Matthew stated in his travel article that "Vietnam is the place where tourists can make the most of their precious money."

"If you're willing to look for low-cost services and eat like a local, you can easily spend less than $ 20 per day - nearly 500 thousand VND," the Canadian tourist explained.

And here is the cheap travel experience that Matthew summed up after spending a long time living in the "S-shaped strip of land."

Move

Motorcycles are common in Vietnam. You can get a car for a reasonable price. However, Matthew stated that buying back an old car from a foreigner about to leave Vietnam is the most convenient option. The most convenient locations are Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

Many foreigners rent motorcycles and go backpacking in Vietnam.

To locate, simply Google "sell motorcycles" with additional locations, which will yield hundreds of results to choose from. You can use it for a few hundred dollars and a small amount of money for the initial repair. If there is no longer any demand, it is not difficult to sell at the same price.

The Canadian visitor did not overlook the importance of purchasing a good helmet and travel insurance in case of possible uncertainty.

Motorbikes are convenient, but if you are not familiar with the road or traveling long distances, visitors can choose a plane, train, or bus.

Matthew said that passenger cars are vehicles that meet the needs of comfort and savings. The car is air-conditioned and there are day trips to all destinations. The fare of each trip is also very reasonable.

The Canadian visitor did not overlook the importance of purchasing a good helmet and travel insurance in case of possible uncertainty.

Accommodation

Vietnam, according to Matthew, is a very appealing destination for "backpackers." Most cities and towns are easily accessible and reasonably priced for visitors. However, he advises that if you want to save money, you should actively book ahead of time and track transactions.

Bunk bed sleeping.

Rooms with bunk beds designed as dormitories are the most affordable option. The benefits of this type of room include the opportunity for visitors to make new friends. However, it can be inconvenient if you run into drunk or insensitive men.

When renting a hotel, the price is also lower than in many developed countries. Breakfast is generally provided free of charge in hotel rooms. The Canadian visitor mentioned that cheap hotel are frequently located far from the center. Where there are a lot of foreigners renting, the price will be higher.

Resting in a hammock.

Also, if you plan to travel across Vietnam, consider bringing a good-quality hammock. In rural areas, some restaurants or households also allow you to get a free break. Some famous travel bloggers have experienced this and said that thanks to that they spend no more than 10 USD (more than 230 thousand VND) per day.

Dining and shopping

Saving money or not depends on how each individual spends their money. For example, it is difficult to break the habit of "overspending" on meals in large cities such as Italy, France, or the United States. However, in Vietnam, visitors can easily find delicious restaurants at reasonable prices.

Bread is a popular street food among many foreigners.

Shops that only cater to tourists will be more expensive. Don't be concerned if you don't speak Vietnamese. When you walk into the restaurant, you can indicate which items you want to order. And many locals can still communicate with visitors in English.

When shopping, go to places where the price list is open to the public. When shopping in traditional markets, remember to bargain to get the best price.

Recreational relaxation

If you want to go to museums, the admission fee is very low. Some places to visit include Hanoi's Temple of Literature and Ho Chi Minh City's War Remnants Museum.

Near the hotel, nightlife options include bars and beer. There are pubs that serve customers all night.

Many people admire the endless beautiful steppe scenery in Switzerland or other countries worldwide, but there's no need to travel far; even in Vietnam, there are "extreme" steppes waiting to be explored.

There are more than seven hat-making villages in this area, but this particular lotus hat was created by a man who is just over 30 years old, a freelance painter with a strong interest in the land of "nerves."

The image of the green, eye-catching hat with each leaf vein clearly shows the processor's ingenuity, becoming unique and valuable. The lotus conical hat is not only a unique gift for visitors from far away when they first visit Hue, but it also symbolizes the country's thousand-year-old beauty. It also helps you take beautiful photos when checking into places in Hue. Currently, each conical hat costs between 200 thousand and 250 thousand VND.

Both the inside and outside exhibit individuality and appeal.

Currently, the image of the lotus hat is very popular in the Vietnam group, receiving the members' love. Many members were taken aback by the hat maker's ingenuity in creating such a delicate product out of lotus leaves. Furthermore, many young people have promised to visit Hue and "take advantage of" this one-of-a-kind conical hat.

- Beautiful and impressive. Thank you to the skilled artisans here.

- Looking at conical hats brings back memories of Huong River, tea, Dong Ba market, and the drizzle in the days leading up to spring.

There are many named and unnamed hills in Dalat where visitors can see the city from above, watch the mist fly, catch the sunrise, or send the ocean to the end of the sky. Those who have been quietly watching the sea of white clouds like a fairyland in the early morning or evening will remember it for a long time.

Cu (Cú) Hill, Da Phu (Đa Phú) Hill, Robin Hill, Du Sinh Hill, Bald (Trọc) Hill (also known as Bridal (Cô Dâu) Hill - where couples often choose to take wedding photos), Hon Bo (Hòn Bồ) Hill, Ngo Quyen (Ngô Quyền) Hill, Pinhatt Hill, LangBiang Peak, and others are famous hill names. It's impossible not to mention Thien Phuc Duc hill, which backpackers call the beautiful name "cloud hunting mecca" of haughty Da Lat.

Thien Phuc Duc Hill is known among backpackers as Da Lat's "cloud-hunting mecca."

Where is Thien Phuc Duc Hill?

Thien Phuc Duc Hill is a lovely, not-too-high hill in Ward 7, opposite Langbiang Mountain, about 8 kilometers from the city center of Dalat. Using Google Maps, visitors can easily locate the Thien Phuc Duc hill area.

Thien Phuc Duc Hill is an untapped tourist destination, so it is still quite wild, a popular destination for backpacking enthusiasts and photography enthusiasts looking to "hunt" beautiful landscape photos of Da Lat's dew, clouds, early sunlight, or sunset.

Thien Phuc Duc Hill is a relatively undiscovered destination.

This is a popular destination for photographers looking to "hunt" for beautiful landscape photos of Da Lat's dew, clouds, early sunlight, or sunset.

Visitors arriving by motorcycle will park their vehicles at people's homes at the base of Thien Phuc Duc hill. Then, follow the rugged trail to the top, begin your journey of discovery, and enjoy the scenery from the hill.

The best time to go "cloud hunting" in Dalat

"Cloud hunting," according to previous experience, is a very arbitrary thing. If you have a destiny, you will meet the sea of clouds tomorrow morning or evening. If there is no predestination, you will not see it with your own eyes no matter how many times you go.

In general, visitors to Dalat can "hunt" clouds at any time of year and in any season. However, the most beautiful sea of clouds can be found during the rainy season, which lasts from June to August on the calendar, or in the early winter, between October and November. The sea of clouds is most likely to be seen on rainy nights the night before; the next morning is dark, the space is dense, and the humidity is high. However, as previously stated, successful "cloud hunting" in Da Lat is also dependent on two words: "depending on fate"!

If everything goes as planned, the best time to "hunt for clouds" is early in the morning. You can watch the sunrise from the top of Thien Phuc Duc Hill, and see the scenery change from black to dark purple, then blue, then pink, then orange, then yellow...

When it was still dark, the Hill of Heavenly Blessings was dim.

A sea of flickering clouds encircles mountains and hills.

Some observations made while "cloud hunting" on Thien Phuc Duc Hill

Before going "cloud hunting" one day, check the weather forecast. If there was rain the night before and it is clear and cloudy the next morning, the chances of seeing the sea of clouds are very high.

If you're traveling by motorcycle alone, make sure to check your car's equipment, fill up your tank, notify your hotel that you'll be leaving early the next morning, allow them to park your car outside for easy access, and quickly open the door when you call.

Before going to bed, keep an eye on the alarm clock. The most beautiful sea of clouds can be seen just before dawn when the sun has just risen. Check the sunrise time the next morning, as well as the distance from where you stayed overnight to Thien Phuc Duc Hill, so you can set your alarm clock and leave on time.

Dalat weather will be very cold in the early morning, around 15-17 degrees Celsius, or sometimes lower, depending on the time. As a result, you should dress warmly, including a full coat, shawl, handkerchief, socks, and so on.

It was still dark when we arrived at the foothills. You should bring a flashlight (or use the flashlight on your phone) and, especially, a pair of comfortable walking shoes for the rough road up the hill. If you travel during the rainy season, this road will be smoother and more difficult to navigate.

Thien Phuc Duc Hill, as previously stated, is not a tourist destination, so there is almost no food service for visitors. You can prepare food to satisfy hunger, make tea, and bring coffee to "chill" with friends on the hilltop while watching the sunrise.

It is also critical to remember to fully charge your phone, as well as your photography and videography equipment. You can also bring a spare battery charger because the sea of clouds or sunrise from Thien Phuc Duc hill will have you pressing nonstop.

The sea view of clouds or sunrise from Thien Phuc Duc hill is spectacular, and you will want to shoot nonstop.

In the iridescent yellow of dawn, downy dew settles on the pine leaves.

If you enjoy backpacking and have had many encounters with nature, you can also camp on your own right on the top of the hill, so that when you wake up the next morning, there is already a "fairytale" waiting place.

Thien Phuc Duc Hill is a popular camping spot for visitors.

Finally, be a considerate and environmentally conscious traveler. Do not run or play too much because it is dangerous and can affect other visitors. Take nothing but photographs and leave nothing but footprints, as the tourist maxim goes.

In the early winter, tourists flock to Dalat because of the flower's radiant yellow color, which symbolizes the land's intense vitality.

It's a wild flower, a wildflower, persistently waiting for 12 months and then suddenly growing quickly, rising along roadsides, weaving on hillsides, or waiting quietly in the deep valley.

October is the month when wildflowers bloom, turning Da Lat's earth and sky yellow. The season of kneeling wildflowers is very special to me. The beauty of the streets with bright yellow flowers makes my heart sing. There are places throughout the country where kneeling blooms on this occasion, but only in Da Lat can we feel the harmony between flowers and people.

On the plateau, the pure beauty of wildflowers kneels.

When the monsoon rains in Nha Trang had just ended, I hopped on my motorcycle and rode to Da Lat to fulfill my promise to kneel. You can enjoy the yellow flowers as you travel from Nha Trang through Khanh Le pass to "Little Paris Central Highlands," passing through Thai Tran flower village.

Either walk through the Cau Dat (Cầu Đất) tourist area or around the road to the top of Langbiang or The Valley of Love... It is also filled with wild sunflowers during this time for you to contemplate.

The roads leading to the Central Highlands are all bright yellow with wildflowers in October.

I drove to Ta Nung again on my way to Da Lat in the afternoon. The section leading to Nguyen Huu Hao's mausoleum has the distinct yellow color of the Central Highlands kneeling. It's been quietly blooming here for a long time, but the lack of human footprints has enhanced the beauty of the flowers.

On Ta Nung Pass, you will see a lot of young people looking for flowers. They capture their youth during the wildflower season in stunning photographs.

Ta Nung is in the midst of the wild sunflower.

In addition, on my way out of Pleiku City, I stopped at Kon Tum. The road is only 40 kilometers long and is normally lined with trees and green grass.

However, during the wildflower season, the road suddenly glows yellow. Wildflowers grow in flaps that can stretch for kilometers. Flowers bloom in the wind, creating a beautiful scene that causes people passing by the road to slow down.

The young couple discovered a lovely check-in spot near the wildflower bush.

I also visited Pleiku's Bien Ho (Biển Hồ). With the road leading to the green pine forest, the Lake is naturally beautiful. This path glows with incense during the wildflower season. Wildflowers in the Lake typically bloom later than elsewhere.

I even drove past the Spectacular Pass (Đèo Ngoạn Mục) just to look at the scenery. The golden flowers on this road are truly magical! There are crab arches on Spectacular Pass, and there is a large field for you to pause. I was enjoying the majestic beauty of nature when I noticed a whole flap of wild sunflower cheering in the sun on the high mountain slopes.

The wild sunflower kneeling man stretched out his arms to catch the rays of the sun.

Dalat may not be a new destination for you, but during the wildflower blooming season, you will experience a very different Dalat, romantic and deep in the golden color of the flower that has won so many visitors' hearts. The blooming yellow wildflowers will be a charming invitation message for visitors to find the "city of thousands of flowers" on the eve of this year's flower festival.

Although there are only 5 households doing community tourism out of 40 in the village, the adjacent homestays in Da Bia village (in Tien Phong commune, Da Bac district, Hoa Binh province) provide all closed services, including houses, meals flavored with mountains and forests, and a cultural program to serve a full teambuilding session, if necessary.

Great renewable energy journey

We arrived in Da Bac in early autumn 2022 at the invitation of a friend and were immediately drawn to this land. The magnificent blue sky, cool air, and especially the drunken yeast warmth of the people here make people love and remember.

Da Bia's serene beauty

Departing from Hanoi, take the Hoa Lac (Hòa Lạc) highway to Hoa Binh city, descend to the 3-level harbor, experience tourism in the Da (Đà) River's lakebed, and watch the river flow like hair in the clouds of Da Bac. Da River had just had a few days of constant rain when we arrived, but the river water was still a jade-green color. The colors of the sky blended together to create a beautiful chemistry picture. You can visit and perform ceremonies at the Den Ba (Đền Bà) of Thac Bo (Thác Bờ) in Vay Nua (Vầy Nưa) commune of Da Bac district while traveling to Da Bia village.

The temple of King Le Loi (Lê Lợi) and female general Dinh Thi Van (Đinh Thị Vân) is known as the Ba Chua's (Bà Chúa) Temple. Legend has it that when King Le Loi went to put down the rebellion of Cat Han (Cát Hãn) Pass (an effective henchman of the Minh), she was assisted by Dinh Thi Van - a Muong (Mường) people - while passing through this land. The Le dynasty was able to drive out the Ming and help the people govern thanks to this female general. Thac Ba Temple leans against the cliff, looking out over the vast lake. This is a spiritual tourist destination as well as a place to watch the romantic Da Giang (Đà Giang) river.

Da Bia village, Tien Phong commune, is near the edge of Da River lake and has 40 Muong households. Agriculture remains the people's primary source of income. The project "Community tourism in Da Bac" began in June 2014, with the assistance of the Australian NGO Action on Poverty (AOP) in Vietnam, in collaboration with the People's Committee of Da Bac district.

Visitors board a boat and travel to the Da Bia pier.

Da Bia village currently has 5 community hostels, each with a capacity of 15 to 20 people. To communicate with international tourists, people working as homestay tourists in Da Bia have learned English. The cultural space and landscape are still almost original here, making it ideal for visitors who want to experience and learn about unique cultural values, which are especially appealing to international tourists.

Ms. Dinh Thi Nhieu (Đinh Thị Nhiệu), the owner of Quang Tho (Quang Thọ) homestay and former captain of the Da Bia Arts team, told us: "Almost every week, international visitors arrive in the village. They usually travel in groups of about ten people, stay overnight, and want to learn about the local people's cultural identity and way of life. Weekend visitors to Bia Bia must usually make a reservation at least two weeks in advance."

On the Da Giang river, tourists can explore old forests, bays, kayaking, river bathing, swimming, fishing, and shrimp. Guests can participate in the arts, and dance stalls, and drink wine with the village girls in the evening.

When dusk falls, the lake bed blends into the forest night and the gong in the soft wine aroma can be heard. The singing invites betel nut against the backdrop of the vivid sounds of flutes, gongs, and gongs blending together, resounding, flying into the deep space. Surprisingly, despite the fact that there are only 5 households, the performances in Da Bia village are extremely rich and meticulously planned. Visitors who simply want to enjoy the songs of the Muong people of the Northwest are served a package according to Ban's program. However, if you need to alternate campfire programs, and team building in groups, the leader of the cultural team in the village also assists the delegation in developing a balanced, harmonic schedule.

Visitors to Da Bia can enjoy specialties presented on bamboo tips lined with green banana leaves, such as rice wrapped in banana leaves, five-color sticky rice, grilled fish from Da River, dishes made from Muong pig, and especially dishes made from papaya flowers, which people say are unique to Da Bac, such as papaya flowers stir-fried with garlic, papaya flower mannequins, papaya and wild vegetable dishes eaten together with stir-frying fish hearts.

Although it was enjoyable, the peaceful village returned to its original tranquility at 22:00, with the sound of frogs calling at night, oars in the lake, and late cleaners' feet under the stilts. Because the people here follow the new lifestyle model of "turning off the radio speakers at 10 p.m. every night." Simultaneously, small groups of tourists began their love stories. So it appears that every game here has a variety of pitches: lows.

In a warm common story, homestay owner Quang Tho also shows visitors how to eat sticky rice and grilled fish. According to you, guests can order rice to suit their needs, even with European dishes, but almost everyone who comes here wants to sample the local cuisine.

Da Bia transports us back to the early rhythms of life in the midst of city noise, and the most peaceful time is probably early morning. Having slept in an air-conditioned environment, literally in nature's giant air conditioner, the dawn of Da Bia greets the human senses with cool downy dew, and the pristine clean air awakens the senses. The sensation of waking up in a riverside village, and walking along forest paths scented with tangerine flowers, has a lot of renewable energy. We meet the friendly smiles of the indigenous people along the way as an invitation, a certain promise to return to Da Bia.

The difference between Da Bia and Da Bac (Đá Bạc)

The model of the "self-conscious shop" is a distinctive feature of Da Bia village that deters visitors. This is regarded as the "first supermarket of Muong Hoa Binh (Mường Hòa Bình) people," demonstrating the Muong Ao Tá people's long-standing culture. There are no sellers in special "supermarkets" that sell agricultural products such as bananas, honey, bamboo shoots, chicken eggs, etc. Visitors select an item from the price list, reset the basket with the corresponding amount, and proceed.

There are two ways to get to Da Bia: a trail along the Da Giang River and a waterway on the Da River's lake bed. Most visitors, however, choose to walk along the lakebed to fully experience the journey to this special oasis. When the ship docked, the men transformed into handrails for the weak-legged, thin-legged girls clinging to the pier. The sensation of climbing the slope slightly backward and admiring yourself for successfully completing the difficult road is strange.

"Why does the government not encourage people to make the road to the village easier?" asked the chairman of Da Bac district, Luong Van Thi (Lường Văn Thi). Mr. Thi stated, "It is not difficult to make things easy, but keeping pristine the land, giving visitors the experience of living as a resident when coming to Da Bia village is truly our desire."

Mr. Luong Van Thi added: "Da Bac's tourism development is still in its infancy, but it is by chance. I value the desire to bring sustainable tourism development models to Da Bac so that it does not repeat the "pain" of rich but overexploited natural areas ". To address this issue, the People's Committee of Da Bac district is on the one hand recruiting investors with resources and vision, and on the other, learning from the experience of many tourism development regions across the country. Mr. Luong Van Thi stated that Da Bac is willing to go slower as long as the land's soul is preserved.

"I cherish the desire to bring sustainable tourism development models to Da Bac so that the 'pain' of rich natural areas that are overexploited does not repeat."

"Keeping your own soul" is probably the most important aspect of the journey to Da Bac. When visitors spend time here, they will undoubtedly form an impression of a very different Muong village. A morning spent sitting on a bamboo grove on a riverside ledge, watching the dark blue Da Giang river will be difficult to forget. It will be difficult to remove the Muong Ao Tá girl's betel nut song from the version: "My hand is made out of betel nut. The mountain shadow reminded me of silent love. The sound of your heart beckoning you. Oath in the midst of heaven and earth, betel nut with eternal meaning "...A second village, similar to Beer Rock, would be difficult to reach. As a result, perhaps when they leave, one expects them to return one day.

Da Bia village has about 40 households, 5 of which are involved in community tourism. Since the construction of the community tourism area, the Muong community's life has changed dramatically. Da Bia community tourism area was awarded the ASEAN Community Tourism Award in 2019.

At an elevation of 2,005 meters, the forest rhododendron population grows on the top of K'Lang (Abanh 2 village, Tr'hy commune, Tay Giang district, Quang Nam). This forest is regarded as a treasure by the Co Tu people and is one of Vietnam's few remaining virgin rhododendron forests.

More than 430 hundred-year-old rhododendron trees have been designated as Vietnamese heritage trees in this area. Rhododendrons are classified into two types: broadleaf and coniferous. They live alternately, with no room for other plants.

Azaleas bloom densely on mountain slopes beginning in February, providing a change of scenery. Azaleas range in color from white to pink, purple, and red.

The forest ecosystem is intact because it has not been heavily impacted by humans. Because the trunks here are twisted together, the Co Tu call it a ghost forest.

Rhododendron stems have moss carpets that change color from green to dark green to yellow.

There is only the green color of moss everywhere.

Mr. Tran Trung Kien (42 years old, Hanoi) and his friends trekked for nearly 7 hours to the top of Klang. "I felt as if I were in a surreal world. Standing above the moss feels smooth and slightly bouncy, almost like springs. The sun skewered through the forest canopy, bringing with it the scent of dew and the distinct smell of grass and trees. This landscape is not found in all forests "Trung Kien spoke up.

He rewarded himself by sitting still in the sun for a few moments. Kien refers to this as "forest bathing," which is a Japanese term that means going to the forest to restore one's soul and health.

There is a small valley in the middle of the forest where a few Co Tu households live; they regard forest protection as a way of life, taking only what they need from the forest on a daily basis.

Along with the Lim and Po Mu forests, the rhododendron forest is one of the destinations that the Tay Giang district government is gradually exploiting by welcoming tourists, primarily for trekking activities.

"I believe this location has the potential to become a popular tourist destination in central Vietnam. However, the exploitation of tourism, which must be linked to forest protection, remains our primary concern. As a result, the activities of attracting visitors and developing tourism products continue to be carried out in stages "Mr. PLênh, a Tay Giang district Culture Department officer, stated.

The Northeast of Vietnam has beautiful landscapes and famous places like Dong Van (Đồng Văn) and Meo Vac (Mèo Vạc)... like the urge of so many feet passionate about traveling and exploring new lands.

Thung (Thủng) Mountain - Cao Bang camping trip.

Long, a 29-year-old man from Quang Ngai province who works as a freelance cameraman in Ho Chi Minh City recently had an interesting experience while immersed in the scenery of the mountains and forests of the Northeast.

Long told the Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Magazine: "Northeast Vietnam has a lot of passes, beautiful mountains and forests, and cool air, so riding a motorcycle is a lot of fun. Furthermore, people are friendly and benign. I travel during this season because October has beautiful weather and the Triangle flowers bloom again ".

When exploring the beautiful roads, and cuisine of the Northeast mountains, sleeping on stilts and interacting with indigenous people, the 29-year-trip old's is extremely meaningful.

"My most vivid memory is most likely the journey from Meo Vac to Bao Lac (Bảo Lạc)." There are many poor children on the road, so there are sweets for them to eat along the way, which we all take. I couldn't give it all because I didn't prepare ahead of time, so if I had the chance to return, I would give more sweets," Long said. "Beautiful weather and the Triangle flowers bloom once more."

Ban Doc (Bản Dốc) Waterfall - Cao Bang.

Long flew to Hanoi on the first day to catch a car to Ha Giang. The car took Long and his brother to Ha Giang on the second day. You take advantage of the opportunity to rest at the hotel. They then went to Dong Van and Cao Bang to rent a motorcycle. Long rented a motorcycle and stopped to eat at a bakery near the hotel opposite.

Long stated that the distance to Dong Van is quite long, so people should buy large water bottles and fill them with gasoline in case they run out of gas in the middle of the road to ensure their health.

There are many beautiful roads from Ha Giang to Dong Van, so you will never be bored while admiring the scenery. Long can admire the Dong Van Rock plateau, the Tham Ma (Thẩm Mã) slope, the Yen Minh pine forest, the Meo (Mèo) King palace, the Buckwheat flower forest, the Lung Cu (Lũng Cú) flagpole, the Doi (Đôi) Mountain, the lonely trees...

"There are two ways to get to Yen Ming (Yên Minh). People heading in the right direction will be closer together, and the view will be better. When you return, you can still take the other route to Ha Giang "Long stated.

People will arrive in Dong Van town around 4 or 5 p.m. if you go and check in on Ha Giang roads.

There are many beautiful roads from Ha Giang to Dong Van, so you should take them. They spent the evening in Dong Van walking around the old town, eating and drinking. There is some excellent roasted rice available here. After walking for a while, everyone went home to rest because riding a motorcycle all day was exhausting, and everyone got up early the next morning.

The kids are adorable and close.

On the third day, people packed up and went to the Fort Cao ruins first to check in, fearing that if they didn't leave soon, it would be too crowded. It was drizzling as we climbed to the top of the fort, so we hid from the rain, then went down to breakfast and back to check out to go through Meo Vac.

On the way from Ha Giang to Meo Vac, you will pass through Ma Pi Leng Pass, one of Vietnam's four great peaks. Going all the way, those interested in taking a boat ride on the Nho Que River can turn left in the direction of boat rentals. "We were in the rain, so instead of taking a boat on the river, we went to Pa Vi (Pả Vi) village to check in because we had made a reservation in advance. Pu Vi village is a lovely village with reasonable homestay prices, and the food is both cheap and delicious "Long stated.

Long left Cat Vac late on the fourth day because he had to wait for the person he was accompanying to finish the Marathon before he could leave. They checked out of Pu Vi village at midday and left for Bao Lac. On the way, Long and his companion stopped for lunch at a restaurant that served a variety of delectable dishes.

"The road from Meo Vac to Bao Lac (Bảo Lạc) is indescribably beautiful, with endless opportunities for walking and watching. This road is notable for a large number of poor children. Some of you actively wave at your friends, while others do not. I believe that when traveling this route, everyone should prepare some sweets or clothing to give them "Long stated.

They arrived around 5 p.m. and stayed at the Bao Lac homestay. Because the homestay is located on a fairly high mountain, the air is extremely cold. You're in a stilt house with a reasonably large and close-quarters space. There will be a fire in the evening to keep you warm, so don't be concerned about being too cold. The evening meal was delicious, with grilled pork and a large hot pot.

"We stopped at Bao Lac because we had to go very far and not enough time to get through Cao Bang, and it would be very dangerous to get dark, so stopping at Bao Lac was a reasonable choice," Long explained.

Ma Pi Leng is one of Vietnam's four magnificent mountain passes.

They left Bao Lac homestay early the next morning to go to Cao Bang. The road from Bao Lac to Cao Bang is breathtaking. People walking this route pass through the magnificent 14-story Batch Pia Pass. Going through the pass, there will be a small water shop; the water seller will direct you to the check-in location where you can get a panoramic view of the pass.

After checking in, you proceed to Cao Bang on time. "The road to Cao Bang was so beautiful with majestic hills and mountains and ripe rice on both sides," Long recalled.

They traveled to Cao Bang before encountering Mat Than (Mắt Thần) Mountain. Long decided to camp here in order to fully appreciate the magnificent scenery. The night on Mat Than (Mắt Thần) Mountain has a bright moon, the stars sparkling around is extremely beautiful, the space is quite quiet, literally in harmony with nature, and the night in the tent is not very cold, so you sleep quite well.

On the sixth day, they ate breakfast at the campsite before leaving Mat Than (Mắt Thần) Mountain to visit Ban Doc waterfall. This is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Cao Bang. They return to Cao Bang city to check into the hotel and walk around the city eating and sightseeing. Cao Bang rolls are tasty.

They had to return to Hanoi by bus and send the motorbikes back to Ha Giang because they didn't have a car to Thanh Hoa.

The 14-story Me Pia (Mẻ Pia) Pass is unique in Vietnam.

On the seventh day, people rode the Limoshine car from Hanoi to Pu Luong (Pù Luông). There are a lot of motorbike taxis around here, but because Long travels a lot, he rents motorbikes right at the homestay. Ban Hieu is the location of this homestay. This village is deserted and peaceful, the rice season will be spectacular, and the cost of accommodation and food is extremely low.

"On my first day here, I spent most of my time moving around the village and arranging furniture at the homestay. The village will have a waterfall, and if the sun is too hot in the summer, you can bathe in the springs surrounding the village. Walking in Pu Luong is never boring because each village has a unique beauty "Long stated.

A lovely small bridge reminiscent of Bali in Pu Luong - Thanh Hoa village.

They went to Pho Doan (Phố Đoàn) market on the eighth day (the market is open on the 5th and Sunday). The market in Pu Luong sells everything from food to clothing. You can go to the market and try some of the most unusual dishes.

They drove through Don (Đôn) village after leaving the market. People can easily follow Google Maps directions in this location. If you want to visit Don village, you must climb a steep slope, but the scenery will not disappoint you with its vast rice valley and countless homestays.

"I checked in, went for a few rounds of walking, and then went back to the homestay to rest and eat. Pu Luong has very good food, fragrant rice to eat rice without boredom, and you should try dishes like grilled pork, Co Lung (Cổ Lũng) duck, chicken stock, and grilled fish "Long stated.

Long left in the afternoon for Bat Cave (Hang Dơi), which is located in Kho Muong (Kho Mường) village. They travel about 30 minutes from The Bat Cave village, but the road is extremely cool, and walking and admiring the scenery is very relaxing.

The scenery at Bat Cave is spectacular and unspoiled, and the cave itself is enormously large and deep. This is one location that you should not overlook. They returned to the homestay after leaving the Bat Cave to eat and rest for the next day.

A relaxing spot at the Bao Lac homestay.

They drove to the Pu Luong WaterWheel location on the ninth day. Long returned to the village of Son Ba Muoi (Son Bá Mười). According to the indigenous people, this village is located on an extremely beautiful mountain, but the climb is extremely difficult, with all of the slopes being vertical. Long rode a motorcycle with No. 1 for the first time in his life, never daring to ride No. 2. "The way up was too steep and too far, so I collapsed in front of the gate of heaven," Long explained. "If I didn't get there in time, I had to go back to my homestay to rest."

You walk around The Village in the afternoon looking for a place to check-in. There is a place that is very similar to Bali, and then I return to the homestay to eat and rest.

Long spent the majority of the 10th day at the homestay eating and resting because he was accompanying his brother to the Marathon in Pu Luong. They ate happily in the evening, capping off a 10-day exploration of the new land.

Bat Cave is located in the village of Kho Muong - Pu Luong - Thanh Hoa.

They awoke early on the 11th to return to Hanoi in time for their flight back to Ho Chi Minh City. Long stated: "Everything went extremely well, and we all made it on time and safely home. I'll miss Pu Luong and the food, as well as the warm people here."

"Northeast Vietnam has breathtaking scenery. Great roads that young people should travel on at least once. Both Ha Giang and Cao Bang have stunning features that no words can describe. Ha Giang is my favorite because of the climate and the majestic, picturesque scenery "Long remembered.

Dong Van has a rocky plateau.

Ma Pi Leng Pass - Ha Giang

The Northwest has dozens of dangerous passes, and backpackers always want to conquer four legendary passes known as the "Four Great Passes" in the Fatherland's mountainous and remote areas. Ma Pi Leng Pass, Pha Din Pass, O Quy Ho Pass, and Khau San Pass are among them.

Pha Din PassWhere is the "first" pass?

Ma Pi Leng Pass, located in Ha Giang geopark on the 164km long Happiness Road, has 9 bends with a steep cliff on one side and a chasm on the other side, which has been the "fear" of many long-distance drivers. Any backpacker, however, wishes to conquer Ma Pi Leng Pass in order to see the majestic mountains and rivers of Nho Que deep and far like a green thread. And Ma Pi Leng Pass became legendary as a result of heartwarming stories about the power of community. For nearly a year, 16 ethnic groups from eight northern provinces stood shoulder to shoulder, hung themselves, razed the road to complete 20 kilometers of the pass, and marked the occasion with tears, smiles, and noble sacrifices.

The clouds covering the top of the mountain can be seen from Pha Din Pass.

Are heaven and earth gnawing on each other?

Pha Din is one of Vietnam's longest passes, measuring 32 kilometers in length. Pha Din pass is famous for its slopes and sleeve bends, letter A and letter Z, and is located in the two provinces of Son La and Dien Bien, with zigzag terrain on the side of the cliff. The original Thai name for the pass is San Din, which means "San" means heaven, and "Din" means earth, implying that this location is the meeting point of heaven and earth. Yes, from halfway up to the top of the pass, anyone feels like straying into the cloud realm, feet touching the ground, and the floating clouds wandering the ridges are very close to that, in the distance, peaceful villages with looming stilt roofs and single-colored rice and corn plots.

O Quy Ho Pass

Is it snow-covered?

Few passes in Vietnam are as beautiful in winter as the O Quy Ho Pass, which connects the provinces of Lao Cai and Lai Chau. The Gate of Heaven is also known as the highest point of O Quy Ho Pass, which is more than 2,000 kilometers above sea level. From here, you can also see Lai Chau valley with mountains and the majestic Fanxipang peak on both sides of the two provinces. In the winter, when the cold air waves intensify, O Quy Ho attracts visitors to the highlands to watch the snow. The nearly 50km long O Quy Ho Pass is also in the path of many marathons, which athletes enjoy because they can race while also enjoying the beautiful natural scenery on the side of the road with waterfalls, majestic mountains, and clear air in peaceful mountains and forests.

Long Coc tea hill is situated in the commune of Long Coc, Thanh Son district, Phu Tho province. The tea hills are shaped like bowls and stretch over more than 600ha, regularly lying comfortably next to each other, creating a scene as if meticulously created by a certain artisan.

Because of its pure, rustic beauty, this location is known as the "futuristic place on the midlands," but it escapes the ceiling whenever the weather changes. Golden sunlight or dew will create unique scenes for the Long Coc scene.

According to the farmer's experience, the tea hills will sprout and have the most beautiful color between 3 and 12 months, resulting in a green carpet full of life. Tea trees will be cut "hibernating" after 12 months.

Long Coc tea hill, in particular, changes millions of shades in just a few hours during the transition between day and night at dawn, leaving visitors satisfied to admire the beautiful nature paintings.

According to Nguyen Anh Chiem (Hanoi), he and his friends decided to camp at the Long Coc sunrise hunting area in order to capture every moment. And, beyond expectations, Long Coc is beautifully coordinated by nature from 5 a.m. when the sky is still dim until the sun has risen.

The tea hills are hidden in a haze and engulfed in cold colors, contrasting the sun with the rising heat, especially at 5 a.m.

The entire scene of Long Coc begins to change color after every minute the sun rises, with the color warming and revealing the cool tea leaves' green color.

When the weather changes from autumn to winter on the tenth month, the dew thickly covers the tea hills and only dissipates, thinning as the sun rises.

"Camping and exploring the scenery in Long Coc is a fantastic experience. Every minute that passes is like experiencing a different aspect of nature "Nguyen Anh Chiem stated.

Tea trees have been associated with the lives of farmers in Phu Tho province, are the main product of the agricultural industry, and have been used to create a brand for the tourism industry here.

About 135 kilometers east of Hanoi, Phuong Hoang (Phượng Hoàng) Hill (also known as Ba Tang (Ba Tầng) Mountain, in 12 Khe village, Bac Son (Bắc Sơn) ward, Uong Bi (Uông Bí) city, Quang Ninh province) has become a popular tourist destination in recent years.

This is a developing "virtual living" coordinate, but the pristine scenery is particularly impressive in autumn, just in time for the grass season to "change clothes."

If Phoenix Hill stands out with fresh green grass, full of life in the spring and summer (from 3 to 8 months), from October 11 to January next year, this place is "coated" with a burning yellow coat, brightening the entire region.

Phoenix Hill, located in the vibrant city of Uong Bi, is like a land neglected by unspoiled beauty, isolated from the noise, bustle, and smog outside.

Phoenix Hill's beauty changes with the seasons, with autumn and winter attracting the most visitors as the meadow turns yellow.

Phoenix Hill's beauty changes with the seasons, with autumn and winter, is the most popular, when the meadow turns burnt yellow, highlighting the green pine trees and creating a scene reminiscent of the wild grasslands of Africa that visitors can only see in movies.

This hill is nearly 500 meters high. Visitors travel approximately 8 kilometers from Uong Bi city to Bac Son ward before hiking approximately 30 minutes from the foothills to the top. Visitors can use cars in addition to motorbikes, which are the most convenient mode of transportation.

Visitors must climb a fairly steep and bumpy distance from the foothills to reach the top. As a result, this location is ideal for those who enjoy moving, climbing mountains, etc. To make the ascent of Phoenix Peak easier, visitors should dress compactly and appropriately.

Phoenix Hill offers tranquil scenery.

Despite being a new destination, Phoenix Hill continues to entice visitors with its pristine scenery, which rivals that of Africa's grasslands.

Although it takes some effort to reach the top of the hill, visitors will be rewarded for their efforts by being able to fully appreciate the natural beauty here.

Visitors who are not used to moving can also travel by motorcycle to the top of the hill, but the rider must be strong and familiar with the mountainous terrain. Another option is to hire locals to drive you to the grassland viewing area for added peace of mind without putting in too much effort.

There are many pine trees along both sides of the road to the top of the hill, and the fresh air reminds visitors of the image of "Miniature Dalat."

The couple Bui Huy Khang and Le Bang Dung (both born and raised in Quang Ninh) couldn't help but enjoy the emerging check-in point in their hometown after setting foot on the burning grass hill in January of this year.

The young couple chose black and red tones to stand out among the picturesque burning meadow scenery, which sparkled with green dwarf pine trees far away.

The contrast between the "changing season" pasture and the green pine trees full of life gives this place a very unique beauty, enough to keep anyone distracted.

According to Huy Khang, Phoenix Fire Hill is an ideal location for a variety of outdoor activities such as picnicking, photography, camping, and so on.

Visitors who want to take beautiful photos here should come between 6 am and 9 am or 2 am and 5 pm and wear outfits with beige brown, red black, or yellow and white tones.

Phoenix Hill is most beautiful at sunrise or sunset.

For the most impressive photos at the burning grass hill, visitors dress in red, black, or yellow and white outfits.

Visitors who want to climb to the top of the hill, however, should arrive a little earlier to catch the romantic moment at sunrise or sunset.

Phoenix Hill is an emerging "virtual living" destination, and the landscape is still intact and beautiful, so visitors must be mindful of preserving and protecting the environment by not throwing garbage into the pasture.

These islands will be used to grow specialized crops.Thac Ba Lake is exploited for tourism with a variety of accompanying services, such as sightseeing boat rides on the lake, based on its charming landscape.On Thac Ba Lake, a local fisherman catches shrimp and fish.Initially, the primary function of Thac Ba hydropower was to provide a stable source of electricity to meet the living needs of people in the North, which served as the foundation for the construction and development of key economic sectors. Later, the lake will be used to regulate and mitigate floods in the delta, as well as to develop Yen Bai tourism and to improve the environment and natural ecosystem.The Thac Ba Hydropower Dam Memorial, located on the dam's surface, honors those who helped build, fight for, and sacrifice for the North's first hydropower project.The lake's water source is the Flowing River itself; the lake has a clear blue watercolor and is surrounded by lush green vegetation. The lake is located in the Yen Bai province's districts of Luc Yen and Yen Binh.In addition to the flowing river, Thac Ba Lake has another river system that pours in, increasing the lake's large amount of silt and abundance of species.This area had two strong-flowing waterfalls known to locals as Thac Ong (Thác Ông) and Thac Ba (Thác Bà) before being exploited to build a hydroelectric dam.Currently, in the rising water season, the water surface area is greater, the islands are lower, and the landscape is changing as a result. Tourists believe that during the shallow water season, Thac Ba Lake will be more beautiful and that the color of the lake bed will be more diverse.Aerial view of the Thac Ba hydropower lake.

Binh Lieu has been compared to Quang Ninh's "miniature Sapa" because of its mild year-round climate and beautiful natural scenery.

Binh Lieu is especially beautiful in the autumn because the roads are lined with reeds. As a result, every autumn, Binh Lieu is compared not only to the inherent "dinosaur spine," but also to the "reed kingdom."

The reed season in Binh Lieu lasts from mid-October to mid-November.

When the reeds bloom at the same time, the weather in Binh Lieu welcomes the first waves of wind.

The western border ring road running towards Lang Son has the most beautiful reed flowers.

Roof system of the Bút Tháp pagoda

Bút Tháp Pagoda got its name from King Tu Duc (Tự Đức), who came here in 1876 and saw a towering blue stone spire shaped like a pen written in the sky and named it Pen (Bút) Tower. Ninh Phuc Tu (Ninh Phúc Tự) is the name of a pagoda located on the right bank of the Duong (Đuống) River in But Thap (Bút Tháp) village, Dinh To (Đình Tổ) commune, Thuan Thanh (Thuận Thành) district, Bac Ninh (Bắc Ninh) province. Because many terns come to nest on the tower, the people in the area are also known as Nhan Thap (Nhạn Tháp) Pagoda.

According to legend, the temple was built by King Tran Thanh Tong (Trần Thánh Tông) (1258-1278). The pagoda's current architectural scale was embellished by Empress Dowager Trinh Thi Ngoc Truc and her daughter Princess Le Thi Ngoc Duyen after many ups and downs in history and many renovations. The pagoda bears a distinct imprint of architectural art and sculpture from the 17th-century Le - Trinh period. The entire architectural space of the temple is divided into three sections. The first section includes the Tam Quan and the fully open steeple, which is thought to be a place where sentient beings can access the Tao. Part 2 is a formal, tightly enclosed space for cultivation. Part 3 is a system of towers that rise high and escape from the campus, demonstrating escapism. The architectural scale has a rhythm of ups and downs, sometimes calm, sometimes undulating, with high accents, resulting in architectural instrumental music about human life that appears to be accidental but intentional.

The arms of the Bodhisattva statue

But Thap Pagoda is home to a unique treasure. That is the Quan Âm Thiên Thủ Thiên Nhãn statue, a Vietnamese sculpture masterpiece. The statue is 3.7m tall and 2.1m across, with 11 heads, 46 large hands and 954 small hands, and an eye in the palm of each hand. All to emphasize the Bodhisattva Quan Thế Âm's infinite ability to observe all worldly things and assist sentient beings in attaining enlightenment. The sculptor Zhang worked on the statue for ten years and finished it in 1656. The pagoda's upper hall is lavishly decorated with statues of the Three Worlds and bodhisattvas such as Thich Ca Tuyet Son, Van Thuy, Pho Hien, and others as well as two rows of 18 Arhats (La Hán). It is worth noting that the statues, altars, incense sticks, and wooden reliefs are carved with phoenix dragons on the incense burner's rafters... All of these excellent works of sculpture and painting art have been identified by researchers as being early and typical in the history of Buddhist sculpture in Vietnam. Around the upper hall is a stone railing with 26 carved reliefs, including spirit beasts and beautiful scenes of the country's nature.

Bao Nghiem (Báo Nghiêm) Tower

The transition space between the upper hall considered the Buddha realm, and the back of the road, considered the world of monks, is a 4m long curved stone bridge consisting of 3 spans squeezed over the lotus lake, with 12 stone reliefs touching animals, lively flowers full of improvisation on both sides of the bridge. Behind the stone, the bridge is the Tich Thien Am (Tích Thiện Am) building, which houses a wooden nine-flowered tree with nine floors and eight sides, representing the nine levels of Buddhist cultivation. Because the nine flowers rotate around the axis, they are commonly referred to as the sutra mill, an endemic tool in tantric cultivation.

The project on the stone bridge, the Upper Hall corridor, and the typical Bao Nghiem Tower, the burial place of the Zhejiang Zen master, are all engraved on the stone of Bút Tháp Pagoda. The tower is entirely made of snug stone, with no plastering. There are 23 stone carvings, concentrated at the foot of the parapet, the first and second floors, and the two pillars of the tower, to a level of sophistication rarely seen in our country's ancient temple system.

Chrysanthemum decoration on the upper court's wooden collapse

The Cuu Pham Lien Hoa (Cửu PhẩmLiên Hoa) Building is a valuable Bút Tháp Pagoda heritage.

Many things have been deposited by the history of Bút Tháp Pagoda; the ancients have left us a beautiful architectural work, a rich treasure of intangible heritage, containing many human philosophies of human life. Currently, the Pen Thap Pagoda special national monument is not only a place to preserve those precious values, but also a destination that draws the attention of a large number of tourists and scholars interested in learning about the cultural history of the ancient Kinh Bac (Kinh Bắc) region.

The campground on Thien Phuc Duc hill, about 10 kilometers from the city center, has recently become a popular tourist destination in Da Lat. This hill is a well-known 'cloud hunting' location in the city of thousands of flowers, particularly in the last months of the year. Stepping out of the warm tent in the morning, visitors can see the sea of clouds right in front of their eyes.

On cold days, white Mongolian tents are obscured by clouds, and the scenery is hazy.

Inside the tent, basic furniture such as cushions, chairs, and floor mats... provide comfort. Visitors should bring insect repellent, which is essential when camping in a remote location like this.

The valleys and cages that planted the farms' crops gradually appeared as the dew cleared. Visitors walk back from here to the 'lonely pine tree' a few tens of meters away - the 'virtual living' point that draws visitors to Thien Phuc Duc hill.

String lights are used at the campground in the evening. Tents were arranged around the area, and people gathered to chat and build campfires in the middle ground. Because of its location on the hill, this area is ideal for stargazing and taking super virtual' exposure photos.

Weekend campgrounds are typically crowded, so visitors should make reservations in advance. The food is prepared in a bbq style that is both 'chill' and fun.

Visitors drive to Lang Biang from the city center. Thien Phuc Duc Hill, which is located opposite this mountain, is a great place to watch beautiful sunrises and sunsets.

Visitors come to check in and enjoy the view if they are not camping here. People who want to camp alone can find a nearby vacant space, a good location to set up tents, and park their cars at people's homes.

Tac Tinh (Tác Tình/Tắc Tình) Waterfall is located in Tam Duong (Tam Dương) town, Tam Duong district, Lai Chau (Lai Châu) province. It is also known as Tac Tinh Waterfall or Love Waterfall. The 120m high waterfall vertically pours a white color into the 40m wide waterfall's foot.

In Lai Chau, the Waterfall is a beautiful scene that has retained its pristine appearance.

The Love Waterfall stands out from afar with its white color flowing among the deep green of the surrounding mountains and forests. The sound of the waterfall roaring day and night and the water flowing down before them created an exciting unspoiled scene as they got closer.

The waterfall's white color stands out among the deep green mountains and forests.

If the waterfall strongly evaporates the water, obscuring an entire region with a majestic rattling sound throughout the mountains and forests during the rainy season, The Love Waterfall brings the gentleness of indifferent water that drops itself down the cliffs and lands gently on the lake during the dry season. Regardless of the season, the waterfall retains its allure that keeps visitors captivated.

During the dry season, the falls are gentler, with water flaps that release to reveal solid cliffs.

When the rainbow appears, Love Falls takes on a beautiful, irresistibly poetic appearance. If you are lucky enough to visit the waterfall on a sunny day, you will be able to admire the magical colors of the rainbow hidden on the lake at the foot of the waterfall, which looks like a fairytale scene.

On sunny days, beautiful rainbows appear at the base of the waterfall.

The Love Waterfall, in addition to being a natural masterpiece, captivates with the myth of the indigenous couple's faithful and intense love. According to legend, a beautiful Dao girl living in the village at the base of the waterfall once fell in love with a boy from the same village.

Many couples who adore each other come here to pray for long-term happiness.

Their love is complicated when they are harmed by crooks and are unable to marry. Finally, the two decide to sink into the waterfall in order to preserve their love of iron lipstick. The name "Love" was also given to this waterfall by the people in order to cooperate for the couple's unfinished love story.

The majestic Waterfall of Love is linked to the tragic but razor-sharp love story of the Dao couple.

With its magnificent beauty and meaningful legends, the waterfall increases its allure, making it difficult for those who have ever set foot in it to forget their impressions.

Coming to The Love Waterfall is a journey to admire the beauty of Lai Chau's mountainous land while also listening to the love story of iron lipstick, which echoes forever in the mountains and forests.

Huynh Phuc Hau's series introduces readers to the vast water fields of An Giang province's Chau Doc and Tinh Bien regions.An Giang is a province that borders Cambodia via Tinh Bien (Tịnh Biên), Tan Chau (Tân Châu), An Phu (An Phú), and Chau Doc (Châu Đốc) City. This is also the source of the Hau (Hậu) River, which flows into the Mekong Delta. The dam in Tinh Bien shown in the photo is to stop the Tra Su (Trà Sư).An Giang and Dong Thap (Đồng Tháp) are the first places in the West to catch floodwaters. Dong Thap (Đồng Tháp) is the Tien (Tiền) River flood, while An Giang is the Hau River flood. The beauty of the An Giang watershed floodplain is the fields flooded with red silt.The beauty of today's flood is more than just a formality; the flood brings shrimp to fish to this land and silt accretion, making the field more fertile and lush. The image depicts a fishing scene in the flooded area of Vinh Te (Vĩnh Tế), Chau Doc (Châu Đốc).When flood banks (dikes) were not built in the past, the water rose much higher. As a result, the flood season is also a breeding season for many local products. Because there is a flood barrier, the water overflows the field less, which benefits the shrimp and fish. People's lives are also less impoverished as a result.Flocks of ducks are gathered by a high mound in a flooded field in Nhon Hung (Nhơn Hưng), Tinh Bien (Tịnh Biên) district.Chau Doc's bông điên điển picking village on the banks of the Vinh Chi canal. The rising water season is also the season for bông điên điển, linh fish (cá linh), and a variety of other specialties.

The white cliffs of Ha Giang are located in the middle of the sky and earth and have become popular with "backpackers" in recent years. The cliff is located on Ma Pi Leng pass, about 160 kilometers from Ha Giang city center, and about 2 kilometers from Dong Van, Meo Vac. What could be better than breathing in the fresh air and relaxing away from the hustle and bustle of city life in this one-of-a-kind destination?

From above, the legendary Nho Que River and Ma Pi Leng Pass are seen in a mysterious and poetic setting.

The Nho Que River and the looming pass can be seen from the campsite on the white cliffs. Because the white cliff ground has a small area (15 - 20 m2) in the heart of the stone arch, it is impossible to gather in large numbers, with a maximum of about 10 people. As a result, if you want to camp overnight, you should check ahead of time.Visitors can reach this location by taking the Ma Pi Leng Pass on National Highway 4C. (Happiness Road). Furthermore, there is a road called Ma Pi Leng (Ma Pi Leng B) that only backpacker motorbikes can travel on; cars are not permitted.The white cliffs of Ha Giang are located on the small Ma Pi Leng pass. However, the highway is only about 3 kilometers long, after which you must walk another 2 kilometers.The journey is difficult, but when you reach the cliff, the fatigue fades because there is a blue sky, hills, and mountains in front of you.The stone arch shades the narrow space in the white cliff.

Mr. Ha Anh Khoa (Hau Giang's hometown) and a group of friends just returned from an overnight camping trip in this area. The online community was immediately drawn to the series of photos depicting the unspoiled area nestled in the middle of a rocky cliff. The campsite is about a 40-minute walk from the motorbike stop, according to Khoa. There are two or three ways to get to this camping spot, but the group opts to hike up from the Dang Dang viewpoint. This path is quite narrow, slippery, and foggy, and leads to a deep abyss. However, the route is protected by iron railings and is not particularly hazardous.The pass below can be seen through the clouds from the cliff.Everyone can have fun together because there is no Wifi and only unspoiled and quiet nature. The group grilled food, sipped warm tea, and gazed out at the clouds, the Nho Que River, and the winding Ma Pi Leng Pass.The view from the white cliffs is fantastic.Camping on white cliffs is most likely a "once-in-a-lifetime" experience. Many indigenous people claimed that the walking path through the white cliff area before Ma Pi Leng pass was the route connecting Dong Van (Đồng Văn) and Meo Vac (Mèo Vạc).Because this area is quite cold, you should bring plenty of warm clothing. It is cold, especially at night and early in the morning, with strong winds. Furthermore, when sleeping overnight, it is necessary to prepare enough food, water, and necessary items.

Notes from a White Cliffs Camping Trip

Because there is no water source, you must carefully prepare domestic water; the nearest grocery is also a 30-minute walk plus 2 km by motorbike, so you must take the initiative in food and food.

The morning trekking road is quite slippery, so people move slowly and wear shoes with good friction to avoid falling. The Ma Pi Leng section becomes accessible only by motorcycle.

The temperature at night is around 4 - 8 degrees Celsius, so bring plenty of warm clothes, as well as tents, camps, and personal belongings. Do not litter indiscriminately; instead, take only what you intend to bring back.

When young people no longer enjoy traditional travel and want to discover new places to explore the unknown, trekking is gradually gaining popularity.

Many trekking routes in the south are well-known, such as Ta Nang - Phan Dung, conquering the East Pole, K50 waterfall, Bidoup peak - Nui Ba... However, many tourists are unaware of the existence of Phuoc Binh National Park in Ninh Thuan province.

When you mention Ninh Thuan, people immediately think of Nui Chua National Park, the blue sea, or the sun and wind. Few people are aware that Phuoc Binh National Park is located in northwest Ninh Thuan province, near Khanh Hoa and Lam Dong provinces. Green grassy hills stretch seemingly indefinitely, giving people a small sense of being in the middle of nature when standing there.

To begin our exploration of this location, we had to travel up Dalat and then down to Nam Hon Giao of Bidoup National Park. Then we went to the primeval old-growth forest, where the fog created high humidity all year long, allowing the mosses to grow smoothly, clinging to the trunks of old trees and the rocks along the stream. The excitement of entering here did not want to leave, but the entire group had to continue to find Phuoc Binh grass hill.

We descended continuously from nearly 2000m to 600-1000m, walking on the spine of the hill, occasionally encountering large slopes, the group only dared to sit down, on one side was the cliff, the other side the abyss. People have been walking aimlessly since leaving Bidoup National Park, walking in the middle of the "spine" that fog covers over their heads, not knowing what is around them.

People kept moving forward, slope after slope, realizing that going to the forest required more willpower than health. That's because you're in an old-growth forest a few meters from no one, a dozen meters away when the "howl" doesn't direct the person to call, and a hundred meters up in the mountain forest.

The fog gradually cleared, and the light in front of the road gradually increased, and everyone began to rejoice because they knew they were about to exit the old forest, and ahead was Phuoc Binh grassy hill. Everyone must have been taken aback by the breathtaking scenery as they emerged from the haunting forest. We may have visited forests with beautiful green grassy hills in the past, but never saw them stretch and undulate to the horizon like Phuoc Binh.

One night, we camped in the grassy hills, turning off all the lights to illuminate the old mountain forest and the green grassy hills that remained bright the night. In a city full of lights, it's difficult to see the slowly drifting stars.

The best time is to catch the rays of dawn, when the sun gradually rises above the top of the mountain, brightening the still-foggy grass. When a few gusts of wind blew through, the grass swayed like a wave, giving us the impression that we were walking in a sea of grass rather than the middle of the forest. Everyone took a few pictures and sat indifferently, catching the warm rays of the sun and admiring the beautiful landscape picture.

Everyone was pleased with the trip when it came to an end. Meet new people, share good times, and continue to explore strange lands with them to discover how beautiful Vietnam is.

Cao Ky Nhan, 40, of HCMC, is the only Vietnamese photographer to win gold at the Epson International Pano Awards, which were announced in early October.

Cao Ky Nhan's ripe rice valley Phong Nam, winner of a gold award.

Nhan stated that the photo was taken in late September 2019 in Phong Nam, Cao Bang, when the entire valley was covered in a yellow coat of ripe rice, highlighting the mountains, hills, and the Quây Son river.

Although not as well-known as Ban Gioc Waterfall, Phong Nam Valley is still a popular tourist destination due to its charming and poetic beauty. The scenery here gives visitors the impression that they are in another world, one that is both beautiful, peaceful, and liberal.

Cao Bang ripe rice season, which occurs every year from late September to mid-October, is a beautiful location that draws many tourists and photographers.

When viewed from above, Phong Nam Cao Bang appears to be a piece of silk stretching endlessly with beautiful colors; the Quây Sơn line is the highlight that enhances the natural picture.

Cao Ky Nhan's work about the ripe rice season in Phong Nam.

The best time to photograph in Phong Nam is when the sun is just rising and the afternoon is about to end, and the clouds are floating halfway up the mountain, creating a poetic and foreboding scene.

Aside from the golden rice fields of Phong Nam valley, nestled at the foot of the mountain are the rooftops of ethnic people, with approximately 20-30 households living together.

Ripe rice season in Phong Nam.

People in Phong Nam primarily live by farming and going to the forest; the pace of life here is slow and gentle; in addition to watching the landscape, you can also visit the valley villages and learn about the people who live there.

Because the Tay people inhabit the majority of the villages in Phong Nam, the people have retained the rich features of the mountainous region.

Tourists In early October, the rice fields in Phong Nam valley have ripened, and the Tay people's rooftops, with about 20-30 households living together, are nestled at the foot of the mountain.

Phong Nam Valley is located in Phong Nam Commune, Trùng Khánh District, Cao Bang Province, and is a Cao Bang dong border district bordering Ngoc Khe commune, south of Kham Thanh commune, west of Ngoc Chung commune, and north of Jingxi district in Bach Hue, Quảng Tây of China. This location is only 15 kilometers from the center of Trùng Khánh district and has an easy road for tourists to move and explore.

Cao Ky Nhan is a travel inspiration with her high-angle photos of the homeland landscape and the pace of human life.

Each season has its own beauty, but autumn is undoubtedly the most popular.

This time of year, the weather is pleasant, the plants are green, the buckwheat flowers are brightly blooming, and the rice is ripe with gold, all of which combine to create a colorful, beautiful picture in the sun.

Every day, the weather changes, perhaps from clouds to beautiful sunshine, cloudy dew, and mountains, creating a poetic and magnificent scene.

Visitors can "hunt" for unique photos in the early morning or late afternoon. This area is still relatively undeveloped, with few services, accommodations, or dining options available in Cốc Pài, about 5 kilometers away.

Visitors can see the communes of Pà Vầy Sủ, Chí Cà, Thèn Phàng, Cốc Rế, and Cốc Pài town from the Suôi Thầu steppes.

With its unspoiled, majestic beauty and fresh atmosphere, this place is a must-see for tourists visiting Ha Giang.

Suôi Thầu steppe is located on a high mountain near Cốc Pài town; the path up is steep but has been poured with concrete, making it relatively easy to travel.

Visitors can travel from Bac Ha to Bac Quang town. Autumn is also a stormy season, so roads are prone to landslides; visitors should exercise caution when traveling.
