Choosing the little-known trekking route to Lung Cung peak, the tourist group including photographer Nguyen Trong Cung was extremely surprised by the scenery along the trail.
Lung Cung (in Nam Co commune, Mu Cang Chai district, Yen Bai province) is the highest point in the Hoang Lien Son range. Located on the border between Mu Cang Chai district and Van Ban district of Lao Cai province, the peak is 2,913 m above sea level, with a cool climate all year round, often covered in clouds and fog.
At the highest peak of Lung Cung, there is a flat land of about 1 hectare, from which you can see the whole surrounding landscape, including Lung Cung valley, Che Cu Nha commune of Mu Cang Chai district, and communes of Van Ban district, Lao Cai province. This place is famous for its rich vegetation, including wild flowers such as rhododendrons, red maple trees and some other flowers in the neighboring areas. Every March of the solar calendar, the hawthorn trees (apple trees) compete to show off their flowers, blooming for about 20-30 days.
Lung Cung is about 150 km from Yen Bai city. Visitors traveling by motorbike from Lung Cung village will go through winding and difficult roads, taking about 45 minutes, then have to overcome 11 km of mountain climbing to reach the top.
Notably, on his most recent trip, photographer Nguyen Trong Cung had the opportunity to capture the most beautiful footage in Lung Cung. Trong Cung is known as a traditional medicine doctor but became passionate about backpacking about 10 years ago. Because he got to see many beautiful landscapes of the country during his travels, he decided to learn photography and become a famous landscape photographer on many forums.
Unlike the majority, Mr. Trong Cung and his trekking group chose a little-known path to conquer Lung Cung peak. This path has many crab apples, bear bile trees, some types of orchids, wild grapes, and this spring, there are especially many primroses, lolot leaves, and rhododendrons.
The photographer shared that the journey along this "secret" trail was extremely difficult. To ensure his physical condition for climbing the mountain, he practiced walking for about a week before. When starting the trip, it is important to wear enough warm clothes, eat enough food and drink enough water, these are basic survival factors that must be met.
In addition to the colorful flowers, walking through the rows of ancient trees also creates an indescribable feeling of excitement.
Images of waterfalls that seem to only appear in fairy tales impress tourists.
