“The road to Hà Giang stretches far and wide,
Rolling stone forests blend with white clouds high.
Urging the steps of a wandering passerby,
Sweet as honey with the scent of mint nearby.”

In spring, the forests are adorned with white plum and apricot blossoms, making you feel like you’re floating among the clouds.
