Famous landmark 1297 Bac Xa
Passing through the field of reeds, you will go upstairs, climb a rather steep hill about 1km. Many young people review the feeling of going up the hill like climbing the gate of Dong Van Ha Giang. Feeling extremely suspenseful and real. Reaching the top of the hill is also the time when emotions burst, both tired and happy. Going with a group of friends, the moment of check-in at the top is the best. Let’s scream together, enjoy the fresh feeling together.
Peak 1300 is difficult and dangerous to go. So it usually takes adventurous and brave people to reach the top of 1300. Most people stop at 1297/4. But just like that, it was enough. An ordinary trip just to reach such great emotions is enough.
