From Ha Giang city, passing 150 kilometers with many winding passes, gray rocky mountains, white cloud-covered mountain peaks, small villages clustered in valleys or halfway up the mountain, and fiery cotton trees when March comes, I arrived at Lo Lo Chai on a rainy day with dense fog. Lo Lo Chai village is located near Lung Cu flagpole, home to the Lo Lo people (about 90%) and the Mong people. The first impression is the ancient features with lovely rammed earth houses, yin-yang tiled roofs, moss-covered stone walls, and walls always covered with succulents. The people here are very friendly and hospitable. If you come here on a sunny day with unlimited visibility, you will definitely have more wonderful experiences.

Lung Cu is a place I’ve always wanted to visit, and waking up at 4 AM was an unforgettable experience. The early morning air was chilly, and the winding road to the flag tower led me through misty mountains. Walking along and taking in the scenery, I felt an unusual sense of calm. When I reached the top, the red flag with a golden star fluttered proudly under the radiant sunrise. The majestic view made me forget all my fatigue. Standing there, I felt an intense pride and love for my country. This trip was not just a journey but also a truly memorable experience in my life #hagiang #vietnam
