Ta Chi Nhu (Xa Ho village, Tram Tau district), ranked 7th in the 10 highest mountains in Vietnam, is considered the roof of Yen Bai province. The road to conquer Ta Chi Nhu is about 18 km long, most of which is slope. This place is one of the ideal cloud hunting spots in the northern mountainous region, attracting many tourists who love climbing and adventure, including Mr. Vu Ngoc Truong - the photographer of this photo set.
In the last days of autumn, the way to Ta Chi Nhu is covered with the purple color of "chi pâu' flower. "Chi pâu" in the local Mong language means "don't know, don't understand". Every late October to about a month later, "chi pâu" flowers bloom on the edge of the mountain in different shades of purple, depending on the time of day. (Photo: VN Express)
