Ta Xua

Ta Xua is not a popular destination for the average tourist; however, the name of Ta Xua thrills the nerves of any adventure-seeker. It is a wonderful destination for adventure tours.

Ta Xua ranks tenth on the top highest mountains in Vietnam. The most alluring part of Ta Xua is the ocean of cloud floating under your feet once you get to the peck. It is somehow the sole purpose of making the journey to this destination. The journey to Ta Xua Peak, therefore, is famously known as the “cloud hunt.”

Besides the “cloud hunt,” the dinosaur backbone also tops as one of the main reason for visiting Ta Xua. “Dinosaur backbone” is actually the ridges linking between the three summits. There is a small foot-route running through the narrow ridge, which looks like the backbone of a dinosaur. Crossing along the ridges with the two sides are steep slopes, it is the desired destination and the ultimate challenge for experienced bikers. If you are not one of those experience and daring bikers, you can opt to have a thrilling trekking. It is obviously one of the most stunning trekking trails in Vietnam. The scene from the dinosaur backbone is priceless and beyond word and must be the experience of the lifetime.

The road to Binh Lieu District, Quang Ninh Province, 153 km east of Hanoi is extremely dangerous. It is also referred to as one of the "dinosaur spine" roads in the north that are hardest to navigate. This place has become even more popular after a 1.8 km walkway was built with 2,000 steps.

The beauty of Binh Lieu changes with the season. If spring is the time when you enjoy hundreds of flowers blooming all over the mountain and forest, fall is when the beautiful sight of shiny golden terraced fields dazzles the eyes.

The road leading to Mau Son is stunningly beautiful. The asphalt road bends around hills covered with pine trees, giving a feeling like being on the cool roads of the Central Highlands city of Da Lat.

The higher one goes, the smoother the road seem to be. However, the road is rather small and contains a lot of sharp turns. Drivers should keep a moderate speed while watching for vehicles coming the other way.

The 15km route goes round various mountains and hills, running in the middle of a green valley. The area consists of 80 mountains one after another
