Nhu Sang cloud yard

Coming to Bac Ha, if you just get lost in the brilliant yellow canola flower gardens on the hillside or the plum gardens, the pear gardens are filled with pure white flowers, but if you ignore the experience of Nhu Sang cloud yard (Nhù Sang village has merged with Hoang Ha village, so it's also called Hoang Ha cloud yard), it's a pity for you.

Along with other cloud yards in the "white plateau" of Bac Ha such as Ngai Thau, Nhiu Lung (Na Hoi), Ban Gia (Ta Cu Ty) or Lung Phinh heaven gate, Nhu Sang cloud yard in Hoang Thu Pho commune has become an interesting destination to the photographers, "Backpackers" and those who love to explore and experience.

“Cloud Stream” Nhu Sang.

Mr. Nguyen Huy Trung, Chairman of Bac Ha Tourism Club was the first one to discover Nhu Sang cloud yard. Mr. Trung said: I am a person who loves to travel, interested in taking photos, so I often look for "prime" locations to have a new angle on the landscape of my hometown. On an afternoon in February 2020, I traveled from Hoang Ha (Hoang Thu Pho) to Xa Van - Su Man Khang (Ta Van Chu), when I arrived at Nhu Sang right when the sun was down from the mountain, in front of me was the sea of clouds, floating, breathtakingly beautiful. Standing on the Nhu Sang cloud year, I had a chance to capture this beautiful moment and decided to name the photo "Sunset on top of Nhu Sang". The work has won the third prize of Beautiful photos of Bac Ha tourism contest in 2021.

"What I care about is not whether the prize is high or low, but through this contest, many people have known about Nhu Sang cloud yard and come to enjoy the scenery," Mr.Trung said.

To promote Nhu Sang cloud yard, Mr. Trung has shared the most beautiful cloud photos and even clips made by himself on the fanpage of Bac Ha Tourism Club, the beloved Bac Ha Group. Unexpectedly, the number of people coming to Nhu Sang cloud yard is increasing, sometimes up to nearly a hundred people. Even during the Lunar New Year of 2022, not only the people in the province, but also many visitors from Hanoi, Hai Phong, Bac Ninh and Quang Ninh also went to Nhu Sang to "hunt" clouds. 

According to Mr.Trung, Nhu Sang cloud yard is at an altitude of 1,500 m above sea level, right on the famous tourism route of Bac Ha (Bac Ha town - Ban Pho - Hoang Thu Pho - Ta Van Chu - Lung Phinh), the ground of the cloud yard is relatively wide and flat, very convenient for the people to "hunt" cloud. Surrounding the Nhu Sang cloud yard is a pristine land, wild flowers blooming in spring and summer, red and ripe hawthorn from August to October. Not only sightseeing, "hunting" clouds, but visitors also can explore the land of Nhu Sang - Hoang Ha imbued with the cultural identity of the Mong people.

If Nhu Sang cloud yard is planned as a tourist destination combining with investment in sightseeing spots, camping and outdoor activities, it will certainly be an attractive destination in the "white plateau”.
