Situated in the Ban Cong area of Tram Tau district in Yen Bai, the summit of Dinh Ta Xua towers at an impressive height of 2865 meters, making it one of the 15 tallest peaks in Vietnam. Its distinctive shape, reminiscent of a massive dinosaur’s spine, leaves a lasting impression on all who see it.
The journey to the top of Ta Xua is quite demanding; however, it rewards trekkers with a pristine forest abundant with ancient trees cloaked in moss and entwined with vines. The forest floor is blanketed with soft yellow foliage, and if fortune smiles upon you, you might come across blooming rhododendrons or wild lotus flowers hidden within the woods. Additionally, Ta Xua is famous for its Turtle Head peak and the “Dinosaur Back” ridge, providing stunning panoramic views during the day and enchanting sights at night.
Reaching the summit after an arduous ascent brings an indescribable sense of accomplishment, accompanied by breathtaking vistas of the neighboring mountain ranges and a sea of clouds below. For those seeking cloud adventures and a myriad of thrilling experiences, Ta Xua is an essential destination that should be noticed.
