Diep Huu Dat (26 years old) is currently a freelance photographer in Ta Xua, Son La. In early March, he was invited by his friends to Ha Giang to hunt for the "rare" sea of clouds in Dong Van.
“I have been to Ha Giang quite a lot and this is not the first time I have hunted clouds, but Dong Van can be considered the most difficult sea of clouds I have ever searched for. The sea of clouds in the middle of the rocky plateau and the whole process of hunting clouds has given me the most emotions ever,” Dat shared.
Talking about the Dong Van cloud hunting road, Dat said that this route is slippery because you have to drive up high (climb the hill) and when you can't drive anymore, you have to walk. Explore the road in the early morning, reach the foot of the rocky mountain and continue climbing the cliff as high as possible to see the sea of clouds.
Early morning clouds covered the whole place, rising to cover the rocky peaks of Dong Van. Dat and his friends had to wear headlamps and feel their way from 4:30 a.m. to arrive in time for sunrise.
The scene of undulating rocky mountains amidst the early morning clouds weaving through the valleys below is something that not everyone can see with their own eyes.
The worthy reward for those who dare to challenge themselves to climb cliffs like Dat is the sea of white clouds floating over a rocky plateau along with the moment of dawn.
Watching the brilliant sunrise over the sea of cotton-white clouds in Dong Van can be called a "unique" experience.
Ha Giang has many interesting cloud hunting spots such as Chieu Lau Thi peak, Bac Sum slope, Quan Ba heaven gate, Ma Pi Leng pass, Nho Que river... Most of the roads in Ha Giang are steep passes with sharp turns that require drivers to be alert and steady. The rugged mountainous terrain can easily lose mobile signal, so you need to download offline map applications to avoid getting lost.
The cost of hunting clouds in Ha Giang that Dat shared includes: 250,000 VND for the bus, 180,000 VND for motorbike rental/day, bunk bed about 100,000 VND/night, average food 100,000 VND/meal. For the cloud hunting journey to be safe and convenient, you need a guide or equip yourself with experience in weather prediction, good motorbike driving skills, walking, and mountain climbing.
