Rock outcrop on top of Pha Luong
Moc Chau is a land famous for its poetic and brilliant landscapes typical of the Northwest mountains and forests. Traveling to Moc Chau, in addition to visiting tea hills and strawberry gardens, the "travel" team can also conquer the rocky outcrop on Pha Luong mountain - considered the roof of Moc Chau.
Pha Luong mountain peak is about 70 km from Moc Chau center, located in Tan Xuan commune, Chieng Xuan district. Not only does it bring majestic scenery, on the top of Pha Luong there is also a rocky outcrop with a panoramic view, just sitting there, you can gaze out to admire the poetic scenery of Son La among the white clouds.
A not-so-big rock outcropping jutting out from the mountain top, below are drifting white clouds and in the distance are rolling hills, lush green forests... This place is also a cloud hunting paradise that you cannot miss when coming to Moc Chau.
If you want to conquer this virtual rock, you should go in groups and go in the morning because the time to reach the top of the mountain and return will take about 6 hours. In addition, choose dynamic and neat sportswear to ensure safety when admiring.
Rock outcrop on Ma Pi Leng Pass
If Pha Luong is a mountain, Ma Pi Leng is a famous mountain pass in the “Four Great Passes” of the Northern mountains and forests. From the top of this pass, you can look down to the Nho Que River with its clear blue water.
This is also the reason why Ma Pi Leng Pass has become an indispensable stop for tourists coming to Ha Giang. Especially the area in the middle of the pass - where there are rocky outcrops that capture the majestic and poetic panorama of the highland at the head of the Fatherland.
Ma Pi Leng Pass is about 20 km long and has many rocky outcrops for beautiful views, however, only the rocky outcrops located in the middle of the pass provide the most panoramic views and are closest to Nho Que River. Standing here, you will have a 360-degree panoramic view of the majestic, immense Ha Giang, especially the feeling of looking at the tiny Nho Que River winding softly below.
However, because the cliff is made up of stacked rocks, lacking connection and not ensuring stability, the local authorities have fenced it off to ensure the safety of all visitors. If you want to take photos with the beautiful mountain pass and Nho Que River from above, you can choose to stay at other cliffs or stand along the railing of the mountain pass to ensure safety.
Turtle Head Rock in Ta Xua
The rocky outcrop on Ta Xua Mountain is also a great spot for young people who love to conquer. This is a rocky outcrop located on the Ta Xua mountain range, in Cong village, Tram Tau district, Yen Bai province.
Compared to the rocky outcrop in Son La and Ma Pi Leng, this rocky outcrop is also very beautiful and offers spectacular photo angles. This rocky outcrop is often called the turtle head cliff because from the innermost side protrudes a large rock, shaped like the head of a turtle.
To conquer the rocky outcrop on the top of Ta Xua, you have to spend about 4 hours climbing, crossing steep slopes, dangerous roads likened to dinosaur spines. However, when setting foot on the mountain peak at an altitude of more than 2,000 m, any tired feet will find the hardships worth it.
Surrounding the rocky outcrop on Ta Xua Mountain are white clouds, deep blue sky, and dense forests. Although it is not considered a very dangerous rocky outcrop, when standing here taking pictures, you will still feel the precariousness because the surrounding space is immense and vast.
The surface of the turtle head cliff is quite flat and easy to walk, but you should not risk sitting on the edge if you are afraid of heights. Besides, the road to the top of Ta Xua also takes a lot of time, so arrange your trip reasonably, avoid reaching the top of the mountain at night, because the road down the mountain at night will be very difficult.
The rocky outcrop on top of Lao Than - Y Ty
Lao Than Mountain is about 2,800 m high, located in Phin Ho Commune, Bat Xat District, Lao Cai Province. Lao Than is almost a place that professional backpackers often visit, while ordinary tourists rarely come here because the road is quite difficult and time-consuming.
However, since the images of this virtual rock in Vietnam appeared on social networking sites, many young people have started to visit because this place looks wild and has few human footprints.
Locals say this cliff is also called the rock wave due to the structure of the rocks and cliffs lying precariously on the edge of the cliff. That is the reason why the photos of this cliff are so beautiful with a hazy feeling in the middle of the sky, in the distance is the indefinite sky and clouds.
Standing on the top of Lao Than or on the cliff, you will take in the lyrical scenery of Y Ty. Those are mountains lying still among the clouds, and green valleys with the color of new rice.
Although Lao Than peak is located at an altitude of nearly 3,000 m and the travel time to the top is about 4 hours, tourists who have trekked all say this is a wonderful journey.
