Diving in the sea of clouds of Ta Xua (Bac Yen, Son La)
If you travel to Ta Xua in March, you will often feel like "walking on clouds" because the possibility of encountering clouds will be higher than in other months. Looking far away from the top of the high mountain, Ta Xua appears with a magical beauty in the floating white clouds.
In addition, conquering the “dinosaur spine” will be an interesting challenge for adventurous drivers. This is a trail about 3 km long stretching on a mountain with rugged terrain, so if you want to experience it, you should prepare a strong spirit in advance.

Conquering the mountain passes of Ha Giang
For those who like more “heavy” adventures, Ha Giang will be a destination worth adding to your travel list in March. The wild beauty of Ha Giang will be embellished with the dreamy pink of peach blossoms, the pure white of plum blossoms blooming all over the mountainsides, along the valleys and even in the houses of the people.

Conquering the mountain pass in Ha Giang is not an easy task with its winding hairpin bends, one side is a steep cliff, the other side is a deep abyss. All feelings of fatigue will disappear when visitors receive unexpected rewards when conquering the dangerous road. It is a picturesque scene with overlapping mountains and hills, the colors of flowers and grass interspersed with the green of the vast mountains and forests.
No need to go far, right at the headland of the country, when you set foot in places like Tu San gorge - Nho Que river, Ma Pi Leng pass, Lung Cu flagpole, Quan Ba twin mountains, Yen Minh pine forest, ... you will have to admit that the posted photos can never fully describe the beauty of this place.
Visit Sa Pa dressed in green
Sa Pa in March wears the warm, gentle green of terraced fields filled with shimmering water, winding in a thin, poetic mist.

When coming here, visitors will be immersed in the poetic scenery of the season of Bauhinia and Sua flowers, like the two lines in the song "Hanoi, twelve seasons of flowers" that musician Giang Son wrote:
February is full of Bauhinia flowers, purple the faces of the streets
One day in March, suddenly, the pure white flowers of the sưa tree came here.
Nestled quietly on the streets, waiting until March, clusters of pure white Sua flowers bloom, making everyone passing by stop and admire. Sua flowers stand out with their pure white color on Hoang Dieu, Hoang Hoa Tham, and Hung Vuong streets.
Hanoi in March appears ancient and poetic with houses tinged with time hidden behind white sua trees, mixed with the breath of the Northwest mountains and forests in the purple color of Bauhinia flowers that will captivate you when you visit.
