2. Magic Eye Mountain (Cao Bang)

On the top of the mountain, there is a circular cave with a diameter of more than 50m, like the "eye" of the mountain. This is considered a "unique" mountain in Vietnam. Tourists coming here, in addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery, can set up tents and camp overnight, enjoying moments of relaxation and rest amidst the poetic natural scenery.

There are many camping rental areas here, so you don't need to prepare anything for Vietnam Customized Tours. In the evening when the temperature drops, we will gather around a warm fire, share a few potatoes and chat happily in the middle of a peaceful green meadow. In addition, visitors also have the opportunity to learn about the rustic life of the Tay people in Cao Bang region. Visit the stilt houses and see them grow plants and catch fish every day.

3. Ta Xua (Son La)

Normally, people will camp overnight on Ta Xua peak so they can get up early the next day to hunt clouds. There are two places to camp and hunt Ta Xua clouds: Dinosaur Back and Ta Xua Cloud Paradise (you search for these two places on Google Maps).

The adventure and endless natural scenery are what make the Ta Xua range attractive. This place is known as "cloud paradise" - just reach out and you can touch the floating white clouds. However, rattan hunting in Ta Xua depends a lot on the weather, so don't be disappointed if you can't hunt rattan.
