The "sea of clouds" with beautiful moonlight at Ta Xua is an awe-inspiring sight for many visitors. 
Ta Xua, a mountainous commune bordering the two districts of Tram Tau (Yen Bai) and Bac Yen (Son La), has become a favorite destination for many tourists. (Photo: Ly Kon).

Most visitors choose to photograph the clouds during the day. However, the "sea of clouds" scene at night in Ta Xua is more spectacular. (Photo: Ta Thi Thuy).
Mai Anh, a tour guide in Ta Xua for five years, said the cloud hunting season in Ta Xua lasts from September to April next year. Tourists should visit on sunny days or days after the rain is over (low temperatures at night and high during the day, with sunny days) to look for clouds. (Photo: Mai Anh).
To find clouds at night, come to Ta Xua on the full moon day. These photos were taken by Mai Anh at 8pm on a full moon day in January 2023 (Photo: Mai Anh).
There are many homestays and tourist attractions located 2,000m or more above sea level, making it easier for tourists to see clouds. In their rooms, opening the window or pulling the curtain, visitors can see the "sea of clouds" floating right in front of their eyes. (Photo: Quang Vinh).
However, the downside of looking at clouds at night is that it is difficult to take good photos due to weak light. After watching the clouds, visitors can go for a walk, build a campfire or bake potatoes, and feel the chilly but peaceful atmosphere late at night. (Photo: Truong Dinh Minh).
Besides viewing clouds, Visitors to Ta Xua in the early days of the year can also experience many activities imbued with the cultural identity of the indigenous people. (Photo: Ly Kon).
Ta Xua is about 200 km from Hanoi center. From the capital city, visitors can go by bus or motorbike. (Photo: Ba đứa mình).
