Experience backpacking in Ta Xua to escape the summer heat without worrying about crowds

Son La - No longer the poetic sea of ​​clouds, Ta Xua in the summer is still worth visiting because the beauty of the mountains and villages clearly shows its inherent peace.

Located at an altitude of over 2,800m, Ta Xua is a place in Bac Yen district, Son La province. With its special geographical location and charming scenery, Ta Xua is famous for its majestic scenery hidden behind the sea of ​​clouds in the early morning mist.

This highland land has long left a deep impression on tourists with many picturesque landscapes.

Unlike the cloud hunting season, which usually coincides with spring from October to April of the following year. On summer days, Ta Xua wears a typical green coat of mountains and forests, dotted with the lush green of terraced fields waiting to bloom.

Amidst the clouds and mountains, the green and young rice fields seem to embrace a color of hope for a future of good harvest, changing the clothes of the villagers and changing the yellow clothes of the Northwest mountains and forests.

Coming to Ta Xua this season, visitors will feel cool and comfortable with an average temperature of only 25 to 28 degrees Celsius during the day and dropping to 18 to 22 degrees Celsius at night.

Ta Thi Thuy, 24 years old, living and working in Hanoi , had special experiences with Ta Xua this summer with a 3-day, 2-night trip.

To travel from Hanoi to Ta Xua, Thuy chose a limousine bus with a round-trip ticket price of 600,000 VND because she wanted to save time and avoid having to change shuttle buses. After arriving, Thuy and her group of friends rented motorbikes for 200,000 VND/day to conveniently travel to different locations.

Regarding accommodation, Thuy chose homestays with full amenities and beautiful spaces. On the first night, Thuy chose to stay one night at a homestay overlooking the valley of clouds on the top of the wind, one night at a homestay with a garden full of fruits such as peaches, plums, pears... The service staff, including both Kinh and ethnic people, are quick and ready to support tourists enthusiastically.

During 3 days and 2 nights in Ta Xua, she and her group of friends continuously checked in at cafes with many famous locations. Most of the cafes here have a quiet, peaceful beauty nestled next to the mountains and forests.

The space of the restaurant takes advantage of the beauty of nature with an open view and not too many decorative miniatures. In addition, visitors can also choose locations such as Ta Xua grassland, Xim Vang terraced fields, coffee village, Dinosaur waterfall in Hang Dong commune, lonely tree, dolphin cape...

Sharing the reason for choosing Ta Xua at this time, Thuy said: “ Traveling in the low season will have many advantages. You won’t have to worry about crowds and jostling, and you will also get a discount on room rates compared to the high season. This season, Ta Xua is just as beautiful as the cloud hunting season, and you can also experience other places such as bathing in streams and SUP rowing.”
