TPO - In the early days of the new year, when the weather turns chilly, Mang Den, Quang Ngai province, becomes a popular destination for nature-loving tourists.

These days, it's not uncommon to see tourists all over Mang Den with cameras and phones in hand, eagerly chasing the clouds.

From the high points, layers of clouds drift lazily, covering pine forests and villages, creating a rare and enchanting scene.

According to the experience of locals and photographers, the ideal time to go cloud hunting in Mang Den is from February to September every year, especially in the early morning.

As the sun just begins to rise from behind the mountain range, a cool breeze rises from the valleys, and white clouds begin to gather, gently drifting over the hills and villages, creating a dreamy, ethereal scene.

From the Our Lady of Mang Den hill, the 37-household area, to the villages of Kon Tu Rang, Kon Pring, Kon Vong Kia… the sea of clouds, like a giant veil, covers the entire space.

Interspersed among the pristine white is the deep green of the natural forest and pine hills, creating a landscape that is both majestic and poetic.

Not only at high vantage points, but also along the central roads in Mang Den, many cafes located on the hillsides have become ideal "balconies" for tourists to gaze at the clouds.

Simply by sipping a hot cup of coffee and watching the clouds drift lazily through the pine forest, visitors can fully appreciate the slow pace of life in this highland region.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Tam (residing in Da Nang City) shared that this was her first time visiting Mang Den at the beginning of the year and she was captivated by the scenery of cloud hunting in the early morning .

"The feeling of standing in a hazy space, with clouds touching right in front of you and a vast green forest below, makes all fatigue seem to disappear," Ms. Tam said.

The fog clung to the spider's web.

According to Ms. Vu Thi Hong Phuong, Director of the Public Service Center of Mang Den Commune, cloud hunting has gradually become a local tourism "specialty." These magical moments of cloud formation not only attract tourists but also inspire many photographers.

"Many beautiful photographs are preserved and displayed locally to promote the natural beauty, contributing to making Mang Den an attractive destination on the ecotourism map," Ms. Phuong said.
