Ta Xua is located on the border between Yen Bai and Son La provinces, about 200 km from Hanoi. Ta Xua is truly attractive with its rolling clouds and vast green valleys. Sitting in Ta Xua in the early morning, enjoying coffee and hunting clouds is an experience that many people enjoy. Photo: Le Thuy

The best time to visit Ta Xua is from December to March of the following year. This is the season when tourists can easily see the sea of white clouds. The sea of clouds is long, dense, and overlaps each other in layers. However, outside of the cloud hunting season, Ta Xua in summer or autumn has its own unique scenery and experiences.

Mist and clouds also depend on the humidity of the air. From September to March, the humidity is high, so the chance of seeing beautiful clouds is higher than in the summer. Experienced backpackers advise each other to go cloud hunting after the forecasted days of no more rain and sunny weather. Photo: Khuong Minh

A place not to be missed when coming to Ta Xua is the lonely tree. The Ta Xua lonely tree is an ancient hawthorn tree on a hillside. The tree is known as the "symbol of Ta Xua". When the fog covers, the lonely tree seems to float in the middle of the sea of clouds, creating a dreamy and romantic scene. Photo: Khuong Minh

The sea of clouds in Ta Xua is very beautiful. However, not everyone who comes here can successfully hunt clouds. It also depends on the weather conditions. If you want beautiful clouds, you must have all the following conditions: light drizzle, low temperature at night and high temperature during the day, and sunny during the day. Therefore, before going to hunt clouds in Ta Xua, you need to closely monitor the weather forecast information in this area.

Successful cloud hunting is partly due to luck, partly due to experience. Photo: Khuong Minh
