North To Love To Remember Me Too Much.
North To Love To Remember Me Too Much.
My and Nhi's first road trip
On a beautiful day, my conversation with Nhi is like this
Me: Hey Nhi, do you want to go on a trip :))
Nhi: Let's go
Me: Oh but I didn't say where to go :))
Nhi: Yeah, forgot about that :))
Me: I don't know, I'll look for it, but I'm happy to say so.
Nhi: Let me take care of it for peace of mind :))
With all of Nhi's ability to stalk all kinds of backpacking and travel groups and the trust that I have given her for the past 10 years, we carried our backpacks to Ha Giang without any idea of the terrain or the special features. point of this land. It is true that youth has not experienced life. And every mistake has a price. Let's wait and see how we will pay :)
- The first right decision
What do you think these two bewildered people do with the first trip. With all the intelligence we had at that time, Nhi and I decided to book a tour of Mr. Vu Tuan. And to this day, I'm still grateful for this wise decision.
- Departure
A small tip if you want to go backpacking in general and the mountains in particular is to minimize the furniture as much as possible. Because you will have to carry your luggage all the way. So if you don't love your body, love the car when you have to carry people and have to carry a bunch of things (especially if you're a bit fat like me).
We started at Cau Giay park and was transported by bus to Ha Giang city. You should go on a night trip to have time to rest and recharge your energy to fight for several days in a row. Usually the tour to Ha Giang will be 2N1D or 3N2D. - Hello Ha Giang city
Ha Giang welcomes us with chilly weather and light fog. This mountain city is quite peaceful but at the same time it is quite sad. The city center doesn't have much of an impression, but a good movie has to wait until the end. What, but the mark in this land, I and Nhi are not lacking. Wait and see :))
Here we will rent a motorbike and prepare breakfast. Car rental combo includes: motorbike, two hats, raincoat, luggage lanyard. After leaving, we went to eat noodles with duck in Ha Giang. The special thing is that the noodles are quite big and the broth tastes different from the noodles in Hanoi.
This is also the place where the bond between me and Nhi is marked, but even now thinking about it, I still feel humiliated. Continue the conversation that I want to forget
Me: Hey, this part of the city road, can you drive it?
Nhi: I'm afraid of going downhill so the road is flat, so I'll go for it, I'll keep my strength then go.
And then started to go uphill, the old promise was gone. This whole journey credits Nhi - the trot girl who mistakenly gave her trust to this cowardly friend. - So beautiful, my country
Ha Giang still retains a lot of pristine features that have not been industrialized. Bac Sum slope welcomes visitors with steep but easy passes. The back part is relatively rocky but all these difficulties are blurred before the majestic beauty of the mountains.
Mountains, cliffs, and slopes overlap with the message.
Leaves, grass, flowers misty mist.
The two sentences that are a bit dull and have no rhyme that I have just come up with, of course, cannot fully describe the "love to remember" beauty of this land. I couldn't take many pictures. But that beauty is forever imprinted in my heart.
- Quan Ba Heaven Gate and the story of Co Tien Mountain
We only stopped here for a bit, but it was enough to have a lot of happy memories. - Nho Que River and memorable falls.
Rumor has it that when coming to Ha Giang, one must take a boat trip on Nho Que river and check in Tu San alley. This is only true when you go early and there is plenty of sun. And sadly we are not in such ideal conditions.
After the process of following the heart's call (and the heart often doesn't follow the reason), we got lost :)) Not to the point of getting lost in the wild mountains, but enough to miss the opportunity to take pictures with the tree. single. But Ha Giang is so beautiful that the gravel along the road also brings us many artistic photos. After the unsuccessful process of groping for the group, Nhi and I decided to stop at one place and work. What is the need for a lonely tree when both of us are lonely :))
When we found the group, it was also a bit darker. However, the leader still pleased the sisters when he decided to lead the group down to Nho Que River. As I write these lines, my heart still hasn't stopped beating and I don't understand what courage would give me to do such crazy things.
You have quite a few ways to get down to Nho Que River. If you are/accompanied by a driver with steady handlebars or you are brave enough, just jump into the river (in the most unfortunate case, down the cliff). If you go alone or feel unsafe, you can rent a local motorbike taxi (cost 150 thousand/person).
At first, I wondered why it was only the road to the river that the motorbike taxi system developed so bustling. Let me tell you why. The road to the river is very steep, with many stones, sharp crabs and no barriers. That means just one second if you are not careful with the steering wheel, you will freely fall into the air. Nhi said that if you deviate from the steering wheel a bit, then the handling phase goes into the ground in the true sense.
Every time I turn a corner, I hold my breath. The faint voice that resounds until now still haunts Nhi "honk the horn, my friend", "slowly slow, my friend is about to turn".
But every effort will pay off. Nho Que River looks like a soft green silk from afar, hovering around the mountain. Up close, you can see that the silk strip has many more lyrical patterns. Tu San alley is like a light knot so that the silk strip is fuller and more indifferent in the eyes of tourists. If it's sunny and not in a hurry, the scene in my eyes will be more satisfying.
And the drama in this outing of course doesn't stop there. By the time we got to the shore, it was completely dark. We have two options: rent a motorbike taxi or go by yourself. And of course in the impulsive moments of our youth we chose to go on our own. Please note that the way up is much more difficult than the way down to the river. If your steering is weak, the car will be more likely to drift. And even if the car doesn't drift, any pothole or elephant hole is enough for you to fall face down twice like us. After two memorable falls, we understood what was the limit of our ability and was a little wiser in time to hire a motorbike taxi to go the rest of the way.
