In addition to winding roads and majestic mountains, the sea of white clouds floating is the outstanding feature of Ta Xua. The following are check-in places not to be missed when traveling to Ta Xua.

The distance to conquer “Dinosaur Backbone” on the top of Ta Xua is not long (about 1.5 km), so visitors can easily experience it. However, the terrain is steep and narrow, so you need to have good health and survival skills in difficult terrain conditions. However, nowadays, the Mong people often ride motorbikes to carry tourists afraid to walk. Each way costs 30,000 VND/person.

With a bottom-up angle, the cliff looks like a dolphin rising out of the water.
