Is 5 days in Ta Xua boring? Ta Xua does not have many attractions, so people who come here just need to visit Thao Nguyen, Song Lung, Cay Co Don, Dinh Gio or see the sea of ​​clouds, which is more than enough. Going for about 3 days is also leisurely for this schedule, but staying for 5 days... is there really anywhere left to go? 𝐍𝐠𝐚𝐲 𝟏, 2:00 AM 𝐓𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐨 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐫 The first 2 days here, I decided to follow the Di tron ​​khong tour schedule, departing from Hanoi, the tour took me to all the typical attractions of Ta Xua. What impressed me about this tour was: knowing how to arrange the schedule so that every place I visited was extremely deserted (even though it was a weekend), you took extremely beautiful photos, the enthusiastic tour guide connected everyone and the tour provided a lot of food and drink! 𝐍𝐠𝐚𝐲 𝟑, 𝟒, 𝟓: 𝐊𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐨𝐮 ... separated from Ta Xua commune in 2008). Here, I have a different perspective on Ta Xua, to know that besides the clouds, TX also has the majestic Dinosaur Waterfall, the blue hydroelectric lake, and the Eagle Point with a view of the majestic terraced fields. For 3 days here, I stayed at the Cloud Valley Hang Dong homestay, a lovely home located near Sang village, so it was easy to meet and interact with the hospitable Mong people. Here, I could watch the beautiful sunset right in the house, the dawn peeking out the window. In the evening, I had grilled food and mushroom hotpot, which were really delicious. Maybe just a little more clouds would be perfect 😆 But it was okay because I got to join a light trekking tour to Dinosaur Waterfall (organized by the home), and was led by the owner of the home to the Eagle Point to watch the sunset. A cloudless Ta Xua like that is perfect for me! ♥️ That's it, 5 days in Ta Xua was not boring at all, I even didn't go to all the places I wanted to go. Everyone should try traveling to Ta Xua this way ^^ #dulichtaxua

#vietnam Ta Xua is a hidden gem nestled in the northern mountains of Vietnam's Son La province, rapidly gaining popularity among adventure seekers and nature lovers. It’s especially famous for its "cloud hunting," where visitors can witness breathtaking seas of clouds floating over the valleys. The best time to experience this phenomenon is from late autumn to early spring (November to March), but as it’s weather-dependent, you'll need some luck for the perfect cloud sighting! Here’s my suggested itinerary: Day 1: Depart from Hanoi early in the morning (the journey takes about 5 hours). Stop for lunch in Bac Yen, then continue the drive to Ta Xua. In the afternoon, take it easy and relax at Đỉnh Gió—the highest point in Ta Xua town, where you’ll find many cozy coffee shops. This is one of the prime spots for cloud hunting, and you may catch your first glimpse of the sea of clouds here. Overnight near Đỉnh Gió. Day 2: Start the day with an early sunrise (and hopefully a sea of clouds, if the weather cooperates). Afterward, visit some of Ta Xua's iconic spots like Dolphin Peak, The Lonely Tree, and the Highland Grasslands, all close to each other. You can opt to stay another night at Ta Xua Lu Tre Homestay for more cloud hunting opportunities, or drive closer to Dragon Spine (Sống Lưng Khủng Long). Day 3: Get up early for the sunrise and some light trekking along Dragon Spine—one of the best locations for cloud hunting and incredible views. Afterward, enjoy a relaxing cup of coffee, then begin your drive back to Hanoi. Optional: If time allows, consider another day exploring Xím Vàng or take a longer hike to the Ta Xua Peak for a more immersive adventure. One of my most favourite restaurant in Ta Xua is A Phủ restaurant. Very delicious!

#100waysoftravel People often joke that “Ta Xua is a trip of character”. If character is good enough, you will have a fun trip and “viral” photos. Although this trip did not start out really lucky because Ta Xua welcomed me with heavy rains and fog. But I felt happy by welcoming the moment when the weather became clear, the clouds were beautiful, and the sun was shining after a long period of bad weather. It is true that you have to suffer to feel happy 😆. “Thank goodness” that this time I stayed at Cloud Forest. The room was beautiful, the restaurant was beautiful, and the coffee was also beautiful, so even though I stayed at a homestay, I still “enjoyed this moment”. In addition, I found the price and quality here quite reasonable. From here, you can walk to Hien and Mi Oi cafe (2 cafes with the most beautiful cloud hunting and sunset views in Ta Xua). It's a bit of a pity that this time my "luck is not so good" to capture those moments. The room price I rented was 2500k/4 people. Traveling from Hanoi - Ta Xua, I chose Limousine from Tuan Thuy bus company (0981 28 82 82). It takes about 5 hours and the bus company will support resting places if everyone arrives early. Hope everyone has a fun trip and don't worry too much about "luck" 🤣 #chaubuinet #chaubuinetvivu View all 79 comments 8 August 2023

#vietnamtrip #nature Tà Xùa, located in Yên Bái province, Vietnam, is a hidden gem renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty. This serene mountain range, often referred to as the "heavenly land," offers travelers an escape into a world of lush landscapes, stunning vistas, and tranquil experiences. Perfect for nature enthusiasts, Tà Xùa promises a rejuvenating retreat amid the wonders of the natural world. One of the most enchanting experiences in Tà Xùa is witnessing the "sea of clouds" phenomenon. Early risers are often rewarded with the sight of thick, fluffy clouds blanketing the valleys, giving the illusion of walking above a vast, ethereal ocean. Trust me, Tà Xùa promises an unforgettable journey into the northern heart of Vietnam's natural beauty.

I am extremely impressed with the scenery here. It is not a collage, but an extremely beautiful landscape. There are no words to describe the scenery here.Whenever you have free time, remember to come by to enjoy the beautiful and a bit wild scenery here.#awesomepic

People say: "Ta Xua cloud hunting is a test of dignity." Fortunately, our group was successful in rattan hunting with the 2-day-1-night Ta Xua tour departing from Hanoi. There are many different means of transportation to get to Ta Xua such as motorbikes, passenger cars, tourist cars, etc. You can rent an entire Limousine from Khanh Thinh bus company for 700K/person both to and fro. The bus departed from Hoang Cau Hanoi at 9pm, arrived at Ta Xua in about 5 hours, arrived at Son La city around 12pm, the bus stopped to change the driver and we took the opportunity to go to the bathroom and then continue. The journey is about 50km to Ta Xua. After another hour or so of travel, we were at the "cloud hunting paradise" of Ta Xua. While still sitting in the car, the driver told me to get up and look at the clouds. My eyes were still sleepy and I tried to open them wide enough to see. Well, Ta Xua was so kind to welcome us with a sea of white rolling clouds. At 1:00 a.m. it was even more magical, making us feel like we were lost in a fairyland.

#christmastrip #northvietnam Ta Xua in Son La, Vietnam, is a mesmerizing destination, promising an immersive and adventurous experience for my recent trip. Cloud Hunting: Embark on a cloud-hunting adventure, witnessing the surreal sight of clouds rolling over the mountain ridges. Challenging Treks: Adventure seekers will find challenging yet rewarding trekking trails, offering panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and the chance to explore the diverse flora and fauna of the region. Homestay Experience: Immerse yourself in the local culture by opting for a homestay. Engage with the friendly ethnic communities. I suggest Ta Xua homestay 26. Stargazing Paradise: The dust skies of Ta Xua provide an ideal canvas for stargazing nearby a coffee or homestay. I suggest Mi coffee for this experience.

well come to Sơn La. with resort and cloud paradise at Ta Xua

Perhaps anyone who comes to Ta Xua must set foot on the dinosaur's spine at least once. The reason for this name is because from above, this place looks like the back of a dinosaur. Because it is surrounded by terraced fields and mountains, the dinosaur's spine is a fascinating place to hunt for clouds, especially at dawn.

Ta Xua is known as the hottest cloud hunting destination at the moment. Although the 2 times I came to Ta Xua, I did not see any clouds, but even without clouds, the natural beauty here still makes everyone feel small in front of the majestic mountains and forests. Although Ta Xua is also more bustling, there is more trash, but Ta Xua is still beautiful, still majestic and still embraces its worries. Hopefully, the local government will soon have a plan so that Ta Xua can maintain its original beauty, still have many green areas and have a plan to handle trash here.
