Participating in this Mountain Climbing Tournament, athletes will have to overcome a distance of about 10 km of mountainous roads. The starting point is at the foot of the mountain in Cang Chi Khua cluster, Sang Pao village, Xa Ho commune, Tram Tau district, Yen Bai province.

This is the 7th highest mountain in Vietnam, part of the Pu Luong mountain range, belonging to the Hoang Lien Son range, considered the "roof" of Yen Bai province and one of the most beautiful cloud hunting spots in the Northern region.
The highlight of the Mountain Climbing route is that athletes will pass through majestic natural landscapes at different altitudes, from primeval forests, through low-canopy forests, grasslands, to purple dragon flower fields, to the mountainside where herds of horses and goats of the indigenous people leisurely graze. And finally, step foot on the top of Ta Chi Nhu - where athletes can touch the clouds.
