Compilation of 3 virtual reality rock formations in Vietnam driving young people crazy
Pha Luong Peak Stone Formation (Moc Chau)
Pha Luong Peak was once renowned through the timeless verses of poet Nguyen Quang Dung in the poem Tay Tien: 'Climbing up the winding slope deeply/ Sniffing the clouds, mist, and smelling the sky/ A thousand feet up, a thousand feet down/ Whose house in Pha Luong, rain from afar'
At nearly 2,000m in altitude, Pha Luong is an enticing destination for young people. Conquering this mountain demands courage and endurance from those with a genuine passion for exploration.
Standing here, you'll feel the beauty of nature amidst swirling clouds and winds. You'll easily observe the continuous movement of clouds, forming fascinating shapes. Especially on cloudy days, you may see a sea of clouds resembling mountain ridges. The beauty here is like a fairyland scene in legend.
However, the terrain below the rocky cliffs is quite treacherous, so even though you can't resist its allure, remember not to cling or be too reckless for photos. The most beautiful places are also the most dangerous, so never compromise safety for photos.
Rock formation in Thach That (Ha Tay)
The rock formation in Thach That, just outside Hanoi, was a hotspot for virtual reality enthusiasts in the North in 2016. Not only saving costs and travel time, Thach That rock formation is only 5m above ground, giving travelers a sense of security to freely shape and take photos. Especially, beneath the rock formation lies the entire scenery of rural areas, with trees, rivers, mountains in the distance... appearing and disappearing in the mist, as if you are standing on a real dangerous precipice.
To reach the Thach That rock formation, you'll have to hike for about 1 hour, with steep terrain and increasing breathlessness as you ascend. Make sure you're physically fit and equipped with necessary gear: hiking shoes, trekking poles, water... to avoid exhaustion before reaching the rock formation.
Rock formation in Quang Yen town (Quang Ninh)
Recently, travel enthusiasts online have been sharing images of a tilted rock in Quang Ninh, confirmed to be Stack Mountain, located in Minh Thanh ward, Quang Yen town, Quang Ninh province.
What makes this rock slab stand out and catch the attention of young people is that this place can be considered a virtual reality paradise, producing many artistic and 'so deep' beautiful photos, but not without danger.
According to those who have experienced this route, they shared that this is a forest road, very difficult to traverse. Only those with strong driving skills can ride a motorcycle here. The forest road has many forks without any signs, so you have to be careful not to get lost.
To reach Stack Mountain, tourists should go to Minh Thanh ward, Quang Yen town, Quang Ninh province, and reach the intersection at km 11 of Lam Sinh road. Ask the locals about this place and almost everyone will know.
However, you must note that this is a destination that is considered dangerous if you don't have good health, don't prepare full gear, and don't have specific directions. You may encounter health risks, or even life-threatening situations.
