The splendid sea of clouds in Ta Xua

Clouds on the top of the mountain From October to April every year, Ta Xua is often immersed in dense clouds, covering the horizon. Every year, Thanh Chi - a freelance photographer in Hai Duong - drives to see the sea of clouds. "Although camping on the evening was very cold and frosty, I was able to see the starry sky. When you wake up, you can admire the majestic sea of clouds in the middle of the vast sky and earth," said the male tourist. According to Thanh Chi, the clouds in Ta Xua are shielded by high mountains, so they are hidden from the wind, calm and floating. Even the clouds spilled over the top of the mountain, the distance was so close that they could almost touch it. When the sun appeared, the clouds were still rolling in the sun's rays, not yet dissipated. Peaceful high road The sun rose near the top of the head, the clouds gradually dissipated and the high-lying area appeared clearly. At the foot of the mountain is the ethnic village, where children with old clothes play carefree on swings every day or mothers carrying their children sit and knit brocade. In addition to "cloud hunting", this place also has green steppes with mountains running along and covered with grass, shan tuyet tea hills or rice terraces in Xhim Vang commune. "The peace of Ta Xua seems to make me forget the chaos and bustle of daily life," Thanh Chi expressed. The North is deep in the cold air mass, so Ta Xua has clouds covering 6-9 parts of the sky in the coming weeks. The best time to see the clouds is at dawn, when the sun shines on the clouds, making the colors of the clouds fantastic. Photo: Thanh Chi According to Zing
