At that time, I was also in Sa Pa so it was convenient to come here."

The scenery here is both wild and peaceful, just like a painting. Photo: NVCC Cow Hill is not too steep and difficult to walk, considered a suitable route for first-time trekkers. Along the way, visitors will be able to see with their own eyes the endless green grasslands, the majestic Fansipan mountain as well as the O Quy Ho pass below.

This location is also not too far from Sa Pa town, only about 10km away, so tourists can stay in town and come here for a day trip.

The road is a bit confusing, if you go for the first time it is easy to get lost. It is best for visitors to hire a local tour guide to lead the way."
