The vast Ha Giang is always a favorite topic of travel enthusiasts. The majestic beauty of the far North spreads over an area of 7,929.48 km², but is often only known to many tourists with the Dong Van and Meo Vac stone plateaus to the North... Hoang Su Phi has long been famous for its most beautiful terraced fields in the country, but there is still a majestic pristine landscape on the top of Chieu Lau Thi that not many people have set foot on.
Mist and clouds were no longer distinguishable, only a white misty flow in front of him was covering the entire road.
The clouds gradually thinned as we approached the top of Chieu Lau Thi.
Of course, getting here is a difficult problem, especially for those with blood pressure or heart problems. The road is narrow, steep and winding, not to mention some places are still muddy and under repair, making the trip more difficult than ever. At times, we even had to get off the car because it could not go uphill. The distance of just over 40 km from the center of Thong Nguyen commune to Chieu Lau Thi, Ho Thau made everyone exhausted because of the level of difficulty.
About 1 - 2 km near the top of Chieu Lau Thi, the sky began to clear up.
Fortunately, everyone was in agreement to go up to Chieu Lau Thi. The higher we went, the thicker the air became, the mist in front of us mixed with the clouds flowing down, crawling over the mountainside and embracing the entire road. The scenery in front of us was half dreamy and half real with moss hidden in the mist. But reaching the stopping point was like going back from winter to autumn. No longer cold and hazy, but the sky was clear and cool. The thick sea of clouds in front of us covered all the mountains and hills, only the red and yellow of the maple trees dotted the picture filled with golden sunshine of Chieu Lau Thi.
The best time to go to Chieu Lau Thi is around September - December.
To the east of the VOV broadcasting tower at Chieu Lau Thi, there are ancient moss-covered trees, standing out among the fluffy cotton-like clouds. The white and red hill chickens leisurely foraging in the poetic scene made my footsteps automatically quicken in that direction.
The red and yellow accents make the scene poetic,
I looked far away to focus on the scenery in front of me. Then I closed my eyes, slowly smelling the scent of the mountains and forests wafting in the wind. The cool air up high was pleasant, and the golden sunlight was still shining down, so I didn’t feel as cold as when I was on the bus coming here. While slowly enjoying that feeling, I turned around and saw this slope leading into the village, so I was curious to try it out.
The trail into the village is both steep and rough.
Until now, I have always liked to wander around and enjoy the scenery spontaneously. People have to climb to the top to check-in with the milestone "Chieu Lau Thi 2,402 m", but I am fascinated by the pristine beauty that few people seek. Of course, every choice has its pros and cons. According to research, climbing to the top of Chieu Lau Thi from the stopping point will take about 30 - 40 minutes one way, even though the distance is only 800 meters. In return, visitors will be able to walk under the dense canopy of trees and admire the beautiful flowers. Time is limited, and I am still quite tired after 2 hours of continuous movement, so I chose a lighter choice.
The tree trunk was covered with moss.
The mountains and forests are wild, rugged and full of mystery.
The scenery of Ha Giang has never disappointed me. Ha Giang is like a gift wrapped in many layers, and every time I open the gift, I am surprised by the mysterious and majestic layers of beauty of this land. I say that because conquering the winding roads to admire the beautiful scenery of Ha Giang has never been easy. But the reward is extremely worthy of those "gifts". Many times when walking on the road, I cannot know what things will be like 10 meters ahead, because the mountain ranges have cleverly hidden the beautiful scenery with winding roads. It turns out that we have to keep moving forward to fully explore the wonderful things ahead.
Happy to discover forgotten beautiful places.
The beautiful scenery of the village covered by clouds in the distance but I have not had a chance to explore it.
I walked with the excitement and curiosity of an explorer. On one side of the road was a cloud-covered path, on the other side was a rugged mountain range covered with dense mossy bushes. In the middle was a small, rocky path, winding along the mountain ranges, with gentle slopes that further stimulated my curiosity about the beautiful scenery that lay ahead.
The small village is located on the hillside in the distance.
Yet an hour has passed, I don’t know where I am now. There are no waves here, no internet, I can’t contact anyone even if I wanted to. In the distance, scattered wooden houses are located on the hill, the scenery is as beautiful as a dream. My tireless legs don’t want me to stop, but my mind prevents me from continuing because if I get lost in there, I don’t know when I will return.
Beautiful rock lies at the edge of the valley.
I lay on the rock, the road on the left, the abyss on the right. The clouds drifted slowly, the birds chirped. My love for nature always made me feel full because I could breathe, touch the trees, walk in the silence of the mountains and forests... Suddenly, the sound of goats bleating on the mountain top startled me, so I sat up to return to the group with happiness wrapped tightly in my heart.
