Cliff on top of Lao Than

When travelling to Lao Cai Province, most tourists explore Sa Pa Town and neighbouring villages. However, in this northwest mountain region, there is also an attractive destination with a rock top on the mountain, which captivates many travellers. That is the cliff on top of Lao Than Mountain, considered the roof of Y Ty Commune.

Lao Than Mountain has an altitude of more than 2,800m, located in Phin Ho Village, Bat Xat District. Lao Than is almost a place where backpackers often come, and ordinary tourists rarely come here because the road is quite hard and takes a lot of time.

But since the images of this cliff appeared on social networks, more and more young people have come to discover it.

Local people said that this cliff is also known as a rock wave because of the structure of the rocks and cliffs lying on the edge of the abyss. The photos taken at this cliff are ravishingly beautiful, with a vague feeling in the air.

Standing on the top of Lao Than or standing on the cliff, you will see the whole lyrical scene of Y Ty. Those are the mountains lying still in the middle of the clouds and the green rice paddy valleys.

Although it takes about four hours to reach the top, tourists who have trekked here all share that going up this cliff is a great journey because you will go through winding roads full of colourful flowers, which are as beautiful as a masterpiece.

Turtle-head cliff in Ta Xua

This cliff is located in the Ta Xua mountain range in Cong Village, Tram Tau District, Yen Bai Province.

Compared to the cliffs in Son La and Ha Giang, this cliff is also very beautiful. It is called "turtle's head" because a large stone shaped like a turtle's head protrudes from the ground.

To conquer this cliff, you have to spend about four hours to reach the peak of Ta Xua, crossing steep slopes and dangerous roads like the back of a dinosaur. However, when you set foot on the top of the mountain at an altitude of more than 2,000m, you will see that the past hardship is worth it.

Around the cliff are white clouds, blue sky and dense forests. Although it is considered a not-too-dangerous cliff, when standing here taking pictures, you will also feel the cragginess when surrounded by immense space.

The turtle-head cliff surface is relatively flat and easy to walk on. However, to be safe, you should not stand or sit near the rim of the cliff.
