THE SECRET ROUTE NORTH WEST VIETNAM
We bet that you have never been on this part of the Northwest of Vietnam the area call Tang Phung where the road is as small as stretches from this mountain to another, where local nomads count the distance by numbers of “the length of throwing the knife” where it appears as travelling on the road No 6 about 25 years ago.
Joining this trip will also provide you a chance to discover the Da River (Black River) the upper stream where it is rated as the most scenic part with 5 hours boat trip. We then landing into the middle of nowhere and ride on rock, dirt to Ta Con to explore the mountain hill tribe market. “On the market day start walking from early morning till the end of the market it’s already noon, it’s not because of how big it is. You’re drunk and fulled your stomach by corn-wine and the people” a friend of mine told me about his experience visiting this market.
So, explore it! You also discover Mu Cang Chai rice terraces and Ta Sua mountain spine and the back road along the Da river back to Hanoi will be also worth too.
