Travel Guide to Mount Ta Xua, Yen Bai
Ta Xua Peaks belong to a mountain range of the same name stretching from Tram Tau (Yen Bai Province) to Bac Yen (Son La Province). The unique thing of Ta Xua is that it offers the adventure travelers a wild wild mossy forest which is more like in a fairy tale than real.

The Dinosaur Backbone on the Ta Xua Mountain, Yen Bai
A trekking trip to Ta Xua takes 3 days or 5 days from Hanoi and the grade of difficulty is hard adventure. The tricky point on the trek is called the Dinosaur’s Backbone which is a vertically stiff mountain cliff that there is only one tiny tree to lean on to get further to the other side that every trekker has to pass. There is a cable railing now that makes it less fatally dangerous but good efforts are required still!
