After 300 km of long road by car with a good night's sleep, the "war horses" are ready to go, crossing 100km of long distance to spread themselves with Ha Giang Geopark. The weather is chilly and pleasant, and the morning dew is still lingering, wrapping arms around the mountains. The harvest season has just passed, the fields are barren, with a gentle aroma.
Passing through Yen Minh, the new cars really went deep into the land of the Rock Plateau. Mountains, mountains after mountains, seemingly endless roads, far away and suddenly turn and green valleys appear like beautiful pictures. From the middle of that uphill slope, Grace La captivated us, in incessant shouts.

From above, it was possible to see rows of mammoths, reaching out to the sky. The valley is immersed in the fragrance of roses. The roofs of the houses are silent in the sun, the low stone fences, the persimmon trees in the garden have fallen and the firewood is piled up in the corner of the kitchen, ready for a cold winter to come. In the attic, the color of the corn mixed in the bean paste is dried
The Mong people in Sung La grow buckwheat and canola flowers on high hills, and grow corn and rice on flat land at the bottom of the valley. Mixed in the young green of the corn of the rice, the lilac purple of the buckwheat and the yellow of the sun, the dark green of the rows of sand trees towering in the sky. Their blue and pink shirts stand out on the gray cat's ear rocks. Footsteps are brisk throughout the highlands. In addition to corn, cat ear stones are also used in the daily life of ethnic minority people. Cat ear stones are used as yard floors, fences, and walls. The fences surrounding the houses are not more than a person's head, the iridescent fences in the sun.

Delicate buckwheat triangles are planted after each September rice season every year. In the past, the seeds of flowers were used to make cakes, now most of them are used as animal feed. Young buckwheat leaves are used as a green vegetable, when boiled and eaten sweet and cool, only the flowers are not used for anything, but they make many passers-by excited. The barley triangle became the flower of autumn, when the oblique rays of the sun were still spreading honey all over the valley and the sky and earth were too cold, we returned to Sung La, to sit by the stone fences and immerse ourselves in the fairytale scenery.
Sung La market on Sunday morning welcomes curious visitors from afar. After "Pao's Story", the name Sung La is mentioned a lot every time someone wants to visit the land of Ha Giang. The house is used for filming to welcome many guests. Everyone wants to stop by once, to see the fences blooming with their own eyes and to hear the sound of lips behind the illusory stone fence.
