Explore Ta Xua cloud paradise - Dinosaur spine

Hi Hiver. How's everyone's start of the week? I had a tiring day at work today, but today I'm still here and sharing with you all the trips I've been on. What kind of travel do people usually like to travel, resort travel, or experience? I love backpacking again, backpacking trips give me many new experiences, help me make many new friends, and also leave many memories. Today I share about a trip I participated in 2 years ago, it was a trip to discover the dinosaur backbone, Ta Xua cloud paradise in Son La, Vietnam. The trip was only planned for 1 day, with no preparation, no friends. It comes from a clip on youtube that I saw about Ta Xua. At the beginning of 2020, I had the opportunity to go on a business trip to Hai Phong - not far from Hanoi, on that occasion I had a weekend off for 2 days and so I planned the trip in just one day before. I joined the backpacking groups of Hanoi friends and joined a backpacking group from Hanoi to Ta Xua. Anyone anywhere, not familiar can join this trip. The organizers will match people who do not have motorbikes, or weak drivers will go with people who have motorbikes and drive well. Our delegation departed from Hanoi to Ta Xua, Son La nearly 200km. In the group there are about 50 people from all over the country and most people here do not know each other before or there will be small groups of 3-4 people who know before going together. Everyone gathered at a pre-designated point in Hanoi and started together. During the tour, there will be an experienced guide, everyone follows the instructions of the leader, ensuring speed and traffic safety. We start from Hanoi and will divide it into small stages for everyone to rest. The first leg Hanoi - Thanh Son tea hill, Phu Tho is nearly 100km. Everyone is resting at the bar next to the road, inside is Thanh Son tea hill. Everyone rested and visited the vast and vast covered hill. Many groups of backpackers also stop here to rest, so almost any time of the day is crowded. The sellers here are also very friendly and enthusiastic.

After a few minutes of rest, the group continued for the next step of Thanh Son - Ta Xua tea hill, the next 100km. During the journey, everyone is free to admire the scenery of mountains and forests and beautiful roads. The road to Ta Xua is not difficult, but if you have never been, you should follow a group like us because many winding mountain roads require you to have experience. Fortunately, we were led by a team leader with a lot of experience, so the group came to Ta Xua without any problems. We arrived at Ta Xua just after dark, so we tried to take a few pictures of the sunset and then got a place to rest. The organizers have pre-hired the collective Homestay for everyone. The homestay here has enough places to sleep and bathe for everyone. The weather in Ta Xua is very cold, so everyone should prepare warm blankets. After taking the place, everyone can have dinner together and drink alcohol.

The most impressive thing about this trip is that the organizers prepared a campfire night for everyone to exchange, sing and get to know each other. Everyone is from strangers, but when they sing and play together under the campfire, they become acquaintances. The night we stayed in Ta Xua there was a special event where a girl in the group was confessed to. A guy contacted the organizers in advance to surprise his girlfriend, under the picture of a flickering campfire with the enthusiastic cheers of everyone. everyone. Campfire night leaves an impression on everyone. After that, everyone rested to prepare to watch the sunrise in the morning.

The next morning we got up for breakfast and headed to the spot to hunt clouds and watch the sunrise not far from our accommodation. In Ta Xua, as early as the morning, everyone is covered in fog, when the weather is chilly, walking in the mist is a wonderful experience. The place we came was a long mountainside, on the top of which there was a small walking path with two sides of the mountain slope standing still, this place is likened to the back of a dinosaur. On days when the weather is beautiful, you will feel like a fairyland, admiring the sea of ​​clouds floating on the side of the mountain, the early morning sun hidden in the clouds, a scene like a paradise. Unfortunately, the day they darkened was too foggy so they couldn't see that scene. However, walking between the spines of the dinosaurs, immersing in the early morning bliss, watching the majestic mountain scenery is also an interesting experience. Every day, tourists from all over the world come to Ta Xua to enjoy this majestic scenery, so there are also many dishes for you to enjoy in cold weather such as grilled corn, grilled potatoes or grilled meat on skewers, rice lam ... If you like thrills, there is also a motorbike service here that takes you running on dinosaur spines, but if you are a person who does not like adventure, you should not try and I think it is not safe either. whole. After everyone is free to visit the dinosaur backbone, everyone returns to the homestay to rest and drink coffee at Thao Cafe This cafe has a beautiful view of the mountains. Our trip ended at noon, everyone had lunch together and departed for Hanoi.

This trip was quite impressive to me because it was the first time I joined a large group of people, didn't know anyone, and went to a very beautiful place, to mingle and group and get to know many people. If there is a chance I will join a trip like this again and will come back to Ta Xua one fine day. If you are an explorer, everyone should try taking a trip like this, you will not be disappointed. I also made a short clip about this trip, which you can watch here:
