Floating White Clouds

Go from east to west through the northern mountainous provinces; where there are high mountains, there are clouds.

"Cloud hunting" in Ta Xùa

Few people are not captivated by Vietnam's majestic scenery, but it is even more magical when heaven and earth give precious moments when mountains blend with clouds. Mountains in the clouds, clouds, or a sea of clouds floating around the eye have become popular destinations for people seeking "moving" pleasures.

Is there such a thing as "cloud season"? Yes, because the clouds were stunning that time of year. The most beautiful "cloudy" times in the northern mountains are late autumn and early winter or spring. With the terrain of intertwined forests, mountains, rivers, and valleys, the day rises with the sun when the clouds come, even when the night temperature is low. Clouds spread indifferently over the mountains or form a vast sea of clouds in beautiful valleys like fairies. Go from east to west through the northern mountainous provinces; where there are high mountains, there are clouds. If you only have a few days, Tam Dao (Vinh Phuc) or Lung Van - the roof of Muong Hoa Binh country - are good places to "hunt clouds." You can be proud of finding white clouds while driving less than 100 kilometers from Hanoi.

Cloud Valley at Ta Xùa (Son La)

In the future, there will be so many options that each destination will have its own set of emotions, and then the intention to continue the journey of discovering beauty in the midst of nature. Sa Pa or Y Ty (Lao Cai), Ta Xùa (Son La), Sin Ho (Lai Chau), or the four great passes are Khau San (Yen Bai), Ma Pi Leng (Ha Giang), O Quy Ho (Lao Cai), and Pha Din are the most popular on the "cloud hunting" map (Son La – Dien Bien). Sapa is known as the "city in the mist," so I came here to take in the scenery of mountains and ethnic minorities painted in mist and clouds. Clouds rushed into the window of the house overlooking Muong Hoa valley in the distance, over the Hoang Lien Son range. Everyday concerns were sometimes washed away by the clouds. When thinking about mountains and rivers, the name Y Ty (Bat Xat district - Lao Cai province) - "where the Red River flows into Vietnam" must have enough sacred meaning, but if you can immerse yourself in the cloud gardens here, everyone will want to return. However, Rat has been dubbed the "white cloud paradise," despite the fact that getting there is not easy. It is approximately 450 kilometers from Hanoi to Y Ty, with an arduous final distance and heart-wrenching sleeve bends, but in exchange, you will enjoy the majestic, overwhelming mountain landscape and the specialty "white clouds." The Ha Nhi village was surrounded by clouds, with houses that looked like mushrooms. Clouds floated up the mountain slopes in front of them like a sea of clouds. In that cloudy realm, in that quiet space, which was suddenly filled with colorful brocade on dresses fluttering to the rhythm of the Hmong girls... Ta Xùa (in Bac Yen district - Son La province), more than 200 kilometers from Hanoi, is also a place with beautiful white clouds. Because of the year-round cloud cover, the people of Ta Xùa refer to this location as the "gateway to Heaven." Standing on a high point on "beautiful cloudy" days, looking down is a magical sea of porous white clouds. Although it only lasts a few minutes, the sea of clouds is the most magical moment on the "cloud hunting" journey.

There are so many "cloud hunting" points in the backpacker world that the road to the destination cannot be called a road, only a trail. They were the first to discover pristine "cloud hunting" locations that drew tourists. There are only white clouds with adventurous souls clouds in that location.
