Overview

Ta Xua is one of the top ten tallest mountains in Vietnam, standing at a height of more than 2.800 meters above sea level in Tram Tau commune, Yen Bai province.
Ta Xua is renowned for its enigmatic beauty, which includes the enormous Turtle Head that protrudes from the mountain cliff, the Dinosaur Backbone, which has a long, thin, and lumpy shape, and the Magic Moss Forest, which seems like it belongs in the movie "Alice in Wonderland"!
The Trekking Ta Xua journey is rated as a moderate trek (3/5), with several peaks, high and steep slopes, and a rainforest setting. However, the breathtaking view at the summit will remain a priceless memory.    
What to anticipate
Fantastic sights and an intriguing journey
Wonderful picture, delight in the sun setting and sunset with the cloudy ocean on the mountain
demanding paths through Magic Forests or across slender Dinosaur Backbone Mountains
