If you are dreaming of a trip to the Northwest mountains with majestic and poetic mountain scenery, Ta Xua (in Son La province) is a destination not to be missed. Known as the "cloud paradise" of the Northwest, when mentioned, people often think of the cloud hunting scene without knowing that, from May to October, Ta Xua is as beautiful as if it came out of a fairy tale.

These days, wildflowers are blooming everywhere, the mountains and forests are lush green, each road seems to be covered with shimmering green silk and the clouds drifting lazily, making everyone feel like they are lost in a fairyland. Although it has been a "hot" destination in recent years, Ta Xua still retains its pristine, wild and strangely peaceful beauty.

According to Khuc Thi Hanh (Son La), Ta Xua not only makes people fall in love with its beautiful scenery but also with its friendly, enthusiastic and hospitable people. For her, the period from May to October is when Ta Xua wears its most brilliant coat.

Coming to Ta Xua these days, any angle can create photos full of vitality and poetry. No need to be a professional photographer, just a phone and an eye for beauty, anyone can easily take "virtual life" photos for life.

 

 

Khuc Thi Hanh said, when coming to Ta Xua this season, don't forget to visit the steppe. This place has long, windy grassy hills that make everyone feel like they are lost in the middle of the European highlands.

The lonely tree of Ta Xua - a typical symbol of this land is also an impressive check-in point. Along the way, you can stop anywhere because of a clear bend, a patch of wildflowers on the roadside, and the poetic slopes.

 

In particular, wild flowers in Ta Xua bloom a lot in the summer. Just standing next to the flowers and behind the lush green mountains and forests is enough to create a "virtual life" photo for life.

Although summer is the time when Ta Xua is greenest, it is also the time when the weather is most erratic. Rain can come suddenly but usually at night, and during the day, if it rains, it is only short rains. In particular, check-in points do not rain at the same time, so you can still flexibly move to "avoid the rain, catch the sun". It is this erratic change that makes Ta Xua have a very unique beauty.

 

To have a complete experience in Ta Xua, Ms. Hanh advises everyone to explore in 2 days and 1 night because there are not too many check-in points here. For those who have time, go for 3 days and 2 nights so as not to be too rushed, to relax and have fun. Ta Xua is not too far or difficult to go, only about 240km from Hanoi and there are many bus routes so it is very convenient.

“Ta Xua is not too expensive, I think only about 2 million VND/person is enough for a trip to Ta Xua”,Happiness shared.

She also emphasized that Ta Xua is not perfect. This place is not very convenient, not suitable for relaxation, so before the trip, everyone should prepare mentally to face the harsh weather, cold nights, foggy mornings, hot noons, cold afternoons; facilities are still quite lacking, there are not many clean and comfortable homestays or resorts, high humidity all year round so blankets are often damp and cold, the roads are winding, steep and degraded. Although when talking about Ta Xua, many people often think of clouds, but they are not always there, the rate of encountering fog is higher than encountering clouds.

 

“When you come to Ta Xua, don’t expect too much. Keep a happy and relaxed mind, be ready to accept all changes in nature and admire and enjoy a green, wild and majestic Ta Xua rather than just focusing on taking beautiful photos.”Ms. Hanh shared.
