Nhiu Co San

Nhiu Co San is located in Sang Ma Sao commune, Bat Xat district, Lao Cai province, and means Horn of Buffalo in the Mong ethnic group. The Nhiu Co San mountain range has two peaks that bend like a buffalo horn and point out into the sky. The top of Nhiu Co San mountain is immersed in red and purple colors during the azalea season in March and April, and it is frequently covered in snow in late December and early January. The climbing route also follows the ancient Pavi stone road, which was built during the French colonial period in the early twentieth century.

The climbing route is a continuous steep slope, passing through bamboo forests, primeval forests, overcoming cliffs, clinging along streams with slippery mossy wet rocks, but compensating for the wild and beautiful natural scenery. Both sides of the road are blooming with various flowers: myrtle flowers, purchased flowers, flowers, azaleas of various colors intertwined racing to bloom; beneath the canopy of forest trees are lush green cardamom fields with fresh and pure air. When you reach the top, you burst with joy because there is a sea of white clouds floating in front of your eyes, and the natural scenery is very vivid and poetic.
