Long queue of people waiting to buy tickets to Ba Vi National Park

(Dan Tri) - At around 4:30 a.m. on November 16, the entrance area of ​​Ba Vi National Park (Hanoi) was packed with visitors from all over, patiently standing in line to buy tickets to get inside.

Traffic jam from dawn, patiently waiting for hours to hunt clouds

Starting from Giai Phong Street ( Hanoi ) at 2:30 am, Tue Nhi (21 years old) and 3 friends rode a motorbike straight to Ba Vi to hunt clouds.

With the weather forecast for the Ba Vi area forecast to be stable, the group hopes to catch the moments of fluffy white clouds like in the videos shared on many social networking platforms.

Visitors arrived at 4:30 am, lining up to buy tickets to Ba Vi National Park as crowded as a festival (video: Character provided).

After about 2 hours of driving, the group struggled to move little by little when the only road leading to the gate of Ba Vi National Park was jammed even though it was early morning. The space was airy and cool, but the smell of exhaust fumes from hundreds, thousands of vehicles made the girls start to feel tired.

"We thought we would have time to buy tickets by leaving early, but the number of people was unexpectedly large. Maybe it was the weekend so everyone wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to hunt clouds and take pictures of flowers," Tue Nhi said.

Mr. Nguyen Phuc Giang, a local resident living nearby, said that since about 4:30 a.m. on November 16, the road to Ba Vi has been blocked. The line of people and vehicles outside the ticket gate stretches for about 500 meters. Tourists traveling by motorbike can move little by little, but cars have to wait in line and cannot move.

"Since the beginning of the season, today is the busiest day. I went to the ticket gate early to line up, but still haven't been able to buy a ticket to get in," said Mr. Giang.

Meanwhile, although Pham Hai Yen's group of friends (19 years old, Hanoi) arrived very early to line up, they had to wait nearly an hour to get their tickets.

At around 5:30, the group of guests eagerly moved inside, looking for a good spot to hunt for clouds. However, like many other guests, the group regretted that today there were no clouds as they had imagined.

"The weather today is so beautiful to take pictures, but unfortunately there are no clouds. But we also made another plan, taking pictures with wild sunflowers so as not to waste the outing," Yen shared.

Updating the situation with Dan Tri reporter on the morning of November 16, Mr. Do Huu The, Director of Ba Vi National Park, said that in recent days, thanks to favorable weather, a large number of visitors have come to visit and experience the park.

Of which, November 16 is considered the peak day since the beginning of the season until now, estimated to welcome about 15,000 visitors.

Due to the high number of visitors on weekends, the residential road near the gate is congested.

However, from early morning, the unit mobilized hundreds of specialized officers with the help of dozens of police officers and functional forces in the buffer zone to support traffic regulation and handle violations.

Up to now, this area still ensures safety for people and tourists to move stably.

Meanwhile, if you want to hunt for clouds, you should visit from the end of September to the end of November. If you cannot catch the sunrise at 3-4am, if you are lucky, you can still see the sea of ​​clouds from 9am to 12pm. However, the sea of ​​clouds does not appear every day.

According to the experience of tourists who have successfully hunted clouds in Ba Vi, the sea of ​​clouds often appears if it rained the day before. Tourists should check the weather forecast for the day they plan to hunt for clouds.

The period from late August to March every year, the humidity is high so the possibility of seeing beautiful clouds is higher. If going for the first time, the luck factor is quite important.

Some places to hunt for clouds in Ba Vi include the peaks of Ba Vi National Park such as Ngoc Hoa, Tan Vien or Vua peak. It can be said that this is the most ideal place to watch clouds.
